CELEBRITY Grief

On August 5, 2023, Sandra Bullock lost her partner Bryan Randall to ALS. The 57-year-old model-turned-photographer had been battling the disease privately for the last three years. His family shared the devastating news in a statement on Monday: "It is with great sadness that we share that on Aug. 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS. 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," they wrote. "We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours." They concluded by asking for privacy while they grieve and come to terms with the loss.

Bullock and Randall met in January 2015 when he was photographing her son's birthday party, and went public with their relationship later that year. In a 2021 interview on 'Red Table Talk,' Bullock said, "I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children— three children, [Randall's] older daughter. It's the best thing ever." On the topic of marriage, she continued, "I don't wanna say do it like I do it, but I don't need a paper to be a devoted partner and devoted mother." The couple never married but were deeply committed both as partners and as parents to each other's children.
