Sandra Bullock’s long-term partner Bryan Randall dies at age 57
Sandra Bullock’s partner of several years, Bryan Randall, has passed away at the age of 57 after a three-year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). His family announced the news in a statement on August 7th.
“It is with great sadness that we share that on August 5th, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS,” the family shared. “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.”
The family expressed deep gratitude towards the doctors and nurses who assisted them throughout this difficult journey, asking for privacy as they grieve and come to terms with their loss.
At the time of writing, Sandra Bullock has not issued an individual statement regarding the death of Bryan Randall.
Bullock, 59, and Randall, a former model turned photographer, began their relationship in 2015 when he was photographing her son Louis’s birthday. The couple made a public appearance together at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s wedding later that year.
The actress has two adopted children, Louis Bardo Bullock (13) and Laila Bullock (11). In a 2021 interview with Red Table Talk, Bullock referred to Randall as the love of her life and spoke about their beautiful children.
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a degenerative condition that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to the gradual loss of muscle control. While there is currently no cure for ALS, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved four drugs to help alleviate the symptoms and discomfort experienced by patients.
In honor of Bryan Randall’s memory, his family has requested donations to be made to the ALS Association and Massachusetts General Hospital.
