Sandra Bullock breaks silence on ‘traumatic’ loss of partner Bryan Randall and secret ALS battle

Sandra Bullock’s longtime partner Bryan Randall passed away after a three-year battle with ALS in 2023. Now, for the first time, the Academy Award-winning actress has spoken out about the traumatic loss.

Sandra Bullock and Bryan Randall met in 2015. The couple made their relationship public later that same year when they appeared at Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston’s wedding, and for years they stayed together.

However, everything changed as Randall received an ALS diagnosis. In August 2023, his family shared the devastating news that the photographer had died “peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS..

His family also expressed gratitude to the medical teams and caregivers who supported him throughout his illness.
