Sandra Bullock has pulled out of the UK premiere of The Blind Side after her husband Jesse James was linked with a tattooed model.
The Hollywood star, who scooped the best actress Oscar last week, is no longer able to travel to the UK for the glitzy bash, with Warner Bros citing "unforeseen circumstances".
Michelle "Bombshell" McGee told US magazine In Touch that she initially made email contact with James's motorbike company looking for modelling work.
Bullock was said to be making The Blind Side around this time.
She has paid tribute to her husband at award ceremonies in the past, saying at the Golden Globes: "There's no surprise that my work got better when I met you, so thank you."
Bullock's representatives were not available to comment on the reports.
They come in the same week that last year's best actress Oscar winner Kate Winslet announced she and her director husband Sam Mendes had split.
The premiere had been due to take place next Tuesday at the Odeon West End in London.
Bullock was scheduled to attend with her co-star, newcomer Quinton Aaron.
Organisers are still screening the film on Tuesday evening in Leicester Square and guests will be able to use their tickets but there will be no red carpet reception.
The movie is based on the true story of Michael Oher and his journey from virtual homelessness to becoming one of American football's biggest stars.
Bullock won the gong for her role as Leigh Anne Tuohy, a well-heeled mother who takes Michael under her wing.
A statement released by Warner Bros on behalf of Bullock said: "Due to unforeseen personal reasons, a trip abroad to support the opening of The Blindside has been deemed impossible at this time.
"I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your understanding and continued support of the film."
