The photographer privately battled MND in recent years
Sandra Bullock's partner of eight years, Bryan Randalls, has sadly passed away at just 57.
Randalls, who was a photographer, had been battling ALS (Motor Neurone Disease) for the past three years but had kept his condition private.
His family released a statement confirming the sad news, which read:
"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. 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.
At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan."
Bullock - who met Randalls when he was hired to photograph a birthday party for her son Louis in 2015 - had previously referred to her partner as 'the love of [her] life' in a Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett-Smith in 2021. When asked if she would get married again - she was previously married to TV personality Jesse James - she 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," she said. Bullock has two adopted children, Louis and Laila. "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. 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."
