Eight-year companion of Sandra Bullock Bryan Randall, 57, passed away on August 7 following a three-year fight with ALS, according to his family.

Bryan’s family informed People that he died after a three-year fight with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He was 57.

It was announced with ‘great sadness’ that Bryan Randall had died on August 5 following a ‘ peaceful”l’ three-year battle with ALS.

We did everything we could to respect Bryan’s wish for his experience with ALS to be private.

According to the rest of their statement, ‘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.”

His loved ones have asked to be left alone as they ‘grieve and come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.’

After hiring Bryan to document her son Louis’s fifth birthday party in 2015, Sandra, then 59, was quickly linked to him.

A year after Miss Congeniality’s adoption of her second kid, a daughter named Laila, a source told E! News that Bryan had ‘officially moved in’ with the actress.

We had just started dating when I asked him, ‘Remember that NDA you signed when you photographed my son?’

Sandra recalled telling Bryan during an episode of Red Table Talk in 2021. ‘You know that still holds…because when I get back from Toronto, I’m bringing a child home.’

The Oscar winner explained that the artist had lived a quiet life before meeting him, saying that their relationship had ‘unraveled his whole life.’

She remembered, ‘He was so delighted, but he was afraid. ‘I am the bulldozer. My life was already headed in the correct direction

when this lovely person appeared who doesn’t care about it at all yet is the ideal person to be there.

Sandra praised her ex-partner Bryan as a ‘very patient’ and ‘a saint,’ saying he ‘evolved on a level that is not human’ and took over as Louis and Laila’s parents when they were 13 and 11 respectively.

She continued, ‘He’s the role model I want my kids to have.’ ‘Even though I don’t always agree with him,’ the speaker said, ‘he is an example even when I don’t agree with him.’

Sandra referred to Bryan in the same interview as ‘the love of my life,’ but she made it clear that they had

no plans to wed. ‘I don’t need a paper,”’she said, ‘to be a devoted partner and devoted mother.’

Sandra, who was married to West Coast Choppers founder Jesse James from 2005 to 2010, said, ‘I went through the divorce process.

‘I don’t need to be reminded to stay present even through the worst of circumstances. I don’t need to be reminded to stick by a good man during a storm.

Would you both make wonderful parents to those kids even if you didn’t succeed as a couple, she continued. Consider the youngsters first.
