Bryan Randall, partner of Sandra Bullock, dead at 57 from

Bryan Randall, the longtime partner of Sandra Bullock, has died. He was 57.

Randall died Saturday from ALS, his family told People magazine. He had battled the degenerative disease privately for three years.

“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,” his family told People. “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.”

Randall, a professional photographer, met Bullock in 2015 while working at her son Louis’ birthday. He and Bullock made few public appearances together and kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight.

“He’s the example that I would want my children to have,” Bullock said in a 2021 interview on “Red Table Talk.” “I don’t always agree with him, and he doesn’t always agree with me. But he is an example even when I don’t agree with him.”

Randall and Bullock raised her two adoptive children, Louis and Laila, together. Randall also had an older daughter, Skylar Staten Randall, from his prior relationship with Janine Staten.

As Randall and Bullock’s relationship progressed, the couple continually shut down persistent engagement and marriage rumors.

“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,” Bullock said in 2021. “I don’t need to be told to be ever present in the hardest of times. I don’t need to be told to weather a storm with a good man.”

Randall did his best to keep his own life private throughout their relationship. He locked his personal Instagram page and gave zero major public interviews.

“His whole life had been unraveled because of me,” Bullock said in an interview of her own. “He was so happy, but he was scared. I’m a bulldozer. My life was already on the track and here’s this beautiful human being who doesn’t want anything to do with my life, but [is] the right human being to be there.”
