Sandra Bullock Longtime Partner Dies After Private Battle With ALS
Bryan Randall, the longtime partner of Sandra Bullock, passed away at 57 on Saturday, August 5 after his private battle with ALS.
Randall battled with ALS for three years up until his death. The family released a statement to CBS News:
“It is with great sadness that we share that on August 5th Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a 3 year battle with ALS,” his family stated. “Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request.”
Hours after Randall’s passing was announced, Bullock’s sister posted on Instagram to discuss her sister’s commitment to taking care of Randall throughout his struggle with ALS.
“ALS is a cruel disease but there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister and the band of nurses she assembled who helped her look after him in their home,” Gesine Bullock-Prado stated. “Rest in peace, Bryan.”
His family’s statement on Monday also thanked the medical professionals who took care of Randall during his battle with this devastating disease who “often [sacrificed] their own families to be with ours.”
The family also requested privacy during this period of grieving as they come to terms with the “impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.”
Randall and Bullock met in 2015 when she hired him to be a photographer for her son’s birthday party. She has yet to speak about his passing.
Bullock made an appearance on Red Table Talk in 2021 where she referred to Bryan as the “love of my life.”
Though not married, the couple shared a blended family with Bullock’s two adopted children and Randall’s daughter from his previous relationship.
You have weathered the storm with a good man, Sandra Bullock. My heart goes to you and your family.
