As a young man, Sandra Bullock partner Bryan Randall worked as a fashion model, according to Hollywood life.
“Before he took up photography, he previously worked as a high-end fashion model, gracing the pages of Vogue Paris and doing ads for major labels like Hugo Boss and Saint Laurent,” the publication writes.
“He also appeared alongside supermodel Cindy Crawford for a 2011 spread in Harper’s Bazaar Singapore,”
However, despite his start as a fashion model, Bryan Randall’s true calling was as a photographer.
Sandra Bullock partner worked as a photographer for the rich and famous in Hollywood. His successful Bryan Randall photography studio mainly focused on outdoor scenes and children’s portraits.
In fact, Sandra Bullock partner Bryan Randall actually met her through photography. Word on the street is that the duo met in 2015 when Randall was hired to photograph a birthday party for Bullock’s son, Louis.
They struck up a relationship and have been dating ever since, although some rumours in recent years alleged that they were having a ton of issues – but more on that later in a separate section.
Apparently a jack of all trades, Sandra Bullock partner Bryan Randall also studied acting at L.A. drama school Anthony Meindl’s Actor Workshop, albeit briefly. A few names to have graduated from the actor’s workshop to Hollywood success include Jenna Dewan and Shailene Woodley.
After meeting whilst photographing Sandra Bullock’s son’s birthday party in 2015, the pair struck up a great romance and became partners.
However, Sandra’s hardly the only Hollywood a-lister Randall reportedly dated.

Ultimately, though, that did not materialise.

Three years ago, Bryan Randall began a tough battle against ALS that would eventually become fatal.
On Monday, August 7th 2023, PEOPLE announced the death of Sandra Bullock partner Bryan Randall. He has been battling the condition privately for three years without disclosing it publicly.
“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,” a statement from his family read.
“At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.”
Bryan was 57 at the time of his death. He is survived by Sandra Bullock, her sons Louis and Laila and his daughter, Skylar Staten Randall.
Bryan Randall 2023
Sandra Bullock partner Bryan Randall has been with the actress since 2015 when they met after he was hired to photograph her son’s birthday party.
They stayed together till his death in 2023, although recent reports have hinted at ‘trouble in paradise’.
When things were good between the couple, they were very good – such as when Bullock waxed lyrically about her man on Jada Pinkett’s Red Table Talk in 2021.
“I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children — three children, [Randall’s] older daughter. It’s the best thing ever,” Bullock said at the time, referencing her two adopted children, son Louis and daughter 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.”
Bullock went on to add that Bryan is a great example to her and her kids.
“He’s the example that I would want my children to have. I have a partner who’s very Christian and there are two different ways of looking at things. I don’t always agree with him, and he doesn’t always agree with me. But he is an example even when I don’t agree with him.”
This is borne out by when a source told Closer that Bryan Randall is so involved as Sandra Bullock partner in helping her raise her kids.
“The kids adore Bryan and of course Sandra still pinches herself that she’s been so lucky finding Bryan.” the source said.
“[Sandra and Bryan] prefer private time, like hiking with the kids, exploring nature. But their outings to public places and restaurants, like their recent visit to Soho House in West Hollywood, are just as special,” the source added.
“They get a real kick out of them interacting with people. Sandra loves being a mom and she sees how time flies by, she doesn’t want to miss a moment of this special time.”
However, it wasn’t all butterflies and roses, such as when it was reported recently that the couple were having a lot of tension.
At the time, they reportedly decided to live apart as a way to ‘cool off’.
“The feeling is Sandra might be hoping for some type of miracle — that they’ll work things out after this long cooling-off period,” a source told Us Weekly at the time.
They also said the chance for a reconciliation is “a long shot.”
It’s believed their tension stemmed from Bryan Randall wanting to officially be Sandra Bullock partner ie by getting married but Sandra wasn’t interested, feeling it wasn’t necessary.
“It’s widely known Bryan wanted to make things official with Sandra, but she didn’t see a need to go down that path. It became quite an issue as time went on,” another insider told Us Weekly, before adding that Bullock “didn’t need a piece of paper to plan a future and be happy, but he felt differently.”
Later, a MailOnline exclusive revealed that Sandra Bullock and partner Bryran Randall actually exchanged vows in a ceremony in 2017 but it was largely ceremonial and not official.
“Exclusive video obtained by DailyMail.com shows the couple dancing the night away following the ceremony which was not legally binding and involved no officiant,” the site wrote.
Sandra Bullock was “dressed in a kaftan, her hair in braids and flip flops on her feet,” whilst her partner, Bryan had “his white shirt open at the neck, also in flip flops, with baseball cap pulled low and in casual black pants,”
According to one friend: “They really did this for the children, to kind of seal the deal and show them this was a forever thing. After the ceremony Louis (13) and Laila (11) started calling Bryan dad.’
The ceremony marked the culmination of a 14-day trip to Arpaud Busson’s Three Bees Villa on Harbor Island.
Amidst all this drama, Bryan Randall sadly passed away in August 2023 after a battle with ALS – which we take a look at in a section below.

Sandra Bullock partner Bryan Randall Instagram

A day after news of his passing was announced, Sandra Bullock took to her Instagm page to remember her late partner.

“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.
“Rest in peace, Bryan. In lieu of flowers, please donate to ALS Association and Massachusetts General Hospital (links in bio).”
Sandra Bullock partner ALS
Sandra Bullock partner Bryan Randall died after a 3-year battle with ALS.
So what is ALS?
Let’s turn to the experts at the American National Institute of Neurological Disorders who say: “Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a rare neurological disease that affects motor neurons—those nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement.
Voluntary muscles are those we choose to move to produce movements like chewing, walking, and talking. The disease is progressive, meaning the symptoms get worse over time.
ALS has no cure and there is no effective treatment to reverse its progression. ALS is a type of motor neuron disease.
As motor neurons degenerate and die, they stop sending messages to the muscles, which causes the muscles to weaken, start to twitch (fasciculations), and waste away (atrophy).
Eventually, the brain loses its ability to initiate and control voluntary movements.
Early symptoms include: Muscle twitches in the arm, leg, shoulder, or tongue, muscle cramps, tight and stiff muscles (spasticity), muscle weakness affecting an arm, a leg, the neck, or diaphragm, slurred and nasal speech and difficulty chewing or swallowing
As the disease progresses, muscle weakness and atrophy spread to other parts of your body.
People with ALS eventually will not be able to stand or walk, get in or out of bed on their own, or use their hands and arms.
Individuals with ALS eventually lose the ability to breathe on their own and must depend on a ventilator
ALS doesn’t affect your ability to taste, touch, or smell, or hear.
Most people with ALS die from respiratory failure, usually within three to five years from when the symptoms first appear. However, about 10 percent of people with ALS survive for a decade or more.
Sandra Bullock partner Bryan Randall died about three years after being diagnosed with the disease.
