Jesse James is opening up about his current relationship with ex Sandra Bullock, and his words are pretty harsh.

James sat down for an interview with ABC's Nightline as part of publicity for his new memoir, American Outlaw, out Thursday.

He talks about why he cheated on Sandra.

    "I think I wanted to get caught."


James also discusses his current relationship with Bullock. James moved from Southern California to Austin, Texas, after the scandal to be near Bullock and keep their family together.

Bullock was close to James' children (all from other relationships), and the two had planned to adopt baby Louis together. Bullock instead adopted Louis as a single parent, but said in interviews that she thought James was a good father and wanted him to have a relationship with Louis.

James, however, says those wishes haven't come true.

    "I've never seen Louis since everything happened."


He also says Bullock has not visited his other children.

    "Pretty much no contact at all for several months."


And James says all this means he's done with the past, including Sandra. After his affairs came to light, James checked into a rehab facility and reportedly tried to win her back.

Now, his tune has changed. He's engaged to reality TV personality Kat Von D, and says the two will wed this summer. His divorce from Sandra was finalized last June; he and Von D became engaged in January. It will be James' fourth marriage.

When asked him if he worried about hurting Bullock's feelings by moving on so quickly, he responded:

    "I can't worry about her anymore. I think I've spent a good chunk of the last five or six years worrying about her and what she thinks and what I should do and, you know, controlling all my movements and everything else. I think it's time to worry about Jesse and making sure Jesse's happy."


The full interview airs on ABC Wednesday night.
