Sad news from Hollywood: Bryan Randall, longtime partner of actress Sandra Bullock, has died. Sandra Bullock and the photographer have been a couple since 2015. In an interview, she once described Bryan as “the best” thing that had ever happened to her. But now he died at the age of only 57 as a result of an incurable mental illness. Now more details about his death have become known.

Here Sandra Bullock Bryan supposedly wants to pay her last respects
As “Daily Mail” reports, Sandra Bullock allegedly wants to scatter the ashes of her deceased partner in a very special place: in the Bahamas. But why does the actress choose the Caribbean islands for this? According to media reports, the two said yes there in 2017. However, that was never confirmed.
A source told the Daily Mail as follows:
The place was just very special for the two of them. They took over the entire island so they could just be themselves.
This is known about the cause of death
As Bryan Randall’s family announced in a statement, the photographer died of complications from the incurable nerve disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The muscle and nerve disease leads to the destruction of nerve tissue and progressive muscle paralysis.
About one to two out of 100,000 people develop ALS every year. In most cases, the cause of the disease is still unknown. The disease usually begins between the ages of 50 and 70, and younger adults are rarely affected. Men are slightly more likely to get ALS than women.
Bryan Randall stopped responding to his friends’ attempts to contact him
Bryan Randall kept his illness a secret until his death. He broke off contact with his friends a few months before his death. His close friend Mia St. John spoke about his death in an interview with “The Sun”. She had a good relationship with Bryan: He even gave the eulogy at her son’s funeral.
But for about a year, the photographer has not responded to his good friend’s attempts to contact him. “I was wondering what happened to him because I haven’t heard from him in over a year,” Mia St. John admitted openly. However, now she knows why he has not contacted her again:
Sandra Bullock has withdrawn from public life because of her partner
In early 2022, Sandra Bullock announced that she would be taking a break from acting for the time being. The reason she gave was that she felt exhausted. She openly admitted to The Hollywood Reporter at the time: “I don’t want to stick to any schedule other than my own anymore. I’m so burned out. I’m so tired and I’m not able to make healthy and wise decisions meet. And I know it!”
But apparently exhaustion wasn’t the real reason for Sandra Bullock’s withdrawal from the public eye. At the time, her longtime partner Bryan Randall was already suffering from his ALS disease – and the actress was very supportive of him during this difficult time.
As a rule, the disease progresses slowly and evenly over years, spreads to other parts of the body and leads to increasing weakness of the respiratory muscles. Life expectancy is reduced to three to four years on average. However, very slow courses over 10 years and more are also known.
Family kept Sandra Bullock’s partner’s illness a secret
“It is with great sadness that we announce that Bryan Randall passed away peacefully on August 5 after a three-year battle with ALS,” the family said in a statement. Neither he nor Bullock had previously made the illness public. Bryan decided “early” to keep his illness a secret, the family statement said.
We are immensely grateful to all the doctors who tirelessly walked with us through the disease, the nurses who became our roommates and often sacrificed their own families to be with us.
Family statement, 2023
The family also asked for privacy in the statement so that all family members can grieve in peace and “come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.”
Sandra Bullock and Bryan Randall met at their adopted son’s birthday party in 2015
Oscar winner Bullock and Randall met in January 2015 while he was photographing her adopted son Louis’ birthday party. That year Bullock adopted her second child, then two-year-old Laila. Randall brought a daughter into the relationship. Together they raised the three children. Not much is known about the couple’s relationship, as Bullock kept her family out of the public eye as much as possible. Bryan regularly accompanies Sandra to red carpet events.
How much Sandra Bullock loves her partner, she admitted in an interview in December 2021. On the Facebook talk show Red Table Talk, she said she had found the “love of my life.” Bullock went on to describe Randall as “the role model I would like to have for my children”.
I don’t always agree with him and he doesn’t always agree with me. But he is a role model, even if I don’t agree with him.
Randall is “the best” thing that happened to her and her family.
In lieu of flowers, Randall’s family is asking for donations to the ALS Association, among others.
