After a three-year struggle with ASL, Sandra Bullock’s longtime partner Bryan Randall passed away.
His family broke the heartbreaking news of his untimely death in a statement that began, “With deep regret, we report that Bryan Randall peacefully passed away on August 5th, finishing a heroic 3-year battle against ALS.
Bryan took the conscious decision to keep his battle with ALS a secret, and those of us who dutifully provided for him respected his wish.
We express our sincere gratitude to the steadfast medical professionals who helped us navigate the complexity of this illness, as well as to the excellent nurses who became an essential part of our life and frequently neglected their own families to support ours. We politely ask for privacy during this time as we grieve and work to accept the heartbreaking reality of saying goodbye to Bryan.
Bullock’s sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, honoured Randall in a touching Instagram post in which she also shared details of the actress’ heartbreaking final hours with her deceased husband.
Gesine shared a picture of Randall taken on Monday, August 7. “I’m convinced that Bry has found the best fishing spot in heaven and is already casting his lure into rushing rivers teaming with salmon,” Gesine wrote.
“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 continued. Rest comfortably, Bryan.

When Bullock’s son’s birthday occurred in January 2015, Randall was hired as the photographer. A few months later, they began dating, and soon after, when they both had already come to the conclusion that they were destined to be together, they made their Red Carpet debut.
Although the Ocean 8 actress is renowned for rarely divulging details of her personal life, she spoke candidly about Randall during an appearance on Red Table Talk, calling him the “love of [her] life.”
She also expressed gratitude for her blended family while confessing that there are times when she wishes she and her kids had the same skin tone. “To remark that occasionally I wish our skin tones were the same. It would then be simpler for people to approach us,” Bullock said. “And I feel the same as a mother with babies who are white or have brown skin,” she continued.
Her two adopted children were shared by her and Randall. The actress said, “He sets the example I want my children to follow.
According to a person who spoke about Randall, “Sandra is aware of his entire dedication to her and the kids. For as long as I can remember, the kids have called Bryan “Daddy,” and it still makes him happy.
Bullock revealed additional information about her personal life, including how she and Randall did not rush into marriage because their children came first. She added, “I don’t need a paper to be a loyal partner and a loving mother. “I don’t need to be reminded to be there for them even at their darkest moments. I don’t need to be reminded to stick by a good man during a storm.
Bullock hasn’t released any words in the media on the untimely death of her partner.
Contributions to the Massachusetts General Hospital and the ALS Association have been encouraged by Randall’s family.
We really regret this loss. Peace be upon her.
