Sandra Bullock’s partner Bryan Randall passed away at the age of 57. The cause of death is a neurological disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Bryan has been battling with the disease for almost three years. Yesterday his family announced an official statement to reveal the devastating news of his demise on August 5.
The statement on Aug. 5, Sandra Bullock’s Bryan Randall passed away
The statement reads, “It is with great sadness that we share that on Aug. 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS. 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.”
It continues, “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.”
Moreover, his family asked for privacy to “grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.”
Sandra Bullock has been in a relationship with him for almost eight years. The couple first met in 2015, as she had hired him to photograph her son Louis’ fifth birthday party.
Later on, the same year after the Miss Congeniality star adopted her second child, daughter Laila, they officially moved in together. Since then their bond has become unbreakable.
Previously, in a 2012 appearance on Red Table Talk, she talked about their relationship. The Oscar winner said, “When I met him, we hadn’t been together that long and I said, ‘Remember that NDA you signed when you photographed my son? You know that still holds…because I’m bringing home a child when I come back from Toronto.”
She added his “whole life had been unraveled because of me.”
“He was so happy, but he was scared,” the actress recalled. “I’m a bulldozer. My life was already on the track and here’s this beautiful human being who doesn’t want anything to do with my life, but [is] the right human being to be there.”
Moreover, she said her partner is a “very patient” man and “a saint,” and “evolved on a level that is not human.”
We hope she will rest in peace!
