Sandra Bullock ‘grateful’ for support after ‘heartbreaking’ Bryan Randall death: report
Sandra Bullock expresses her gratitude for the support she has received after the passing of her longtime partner Bryan Randall. The Oscar winner’s world was turned upside down when Randall lost his battle with ALS at the age of 57. Bullock, who is 59 years old, has witnessed an incredible outpouring of support towards ALS research following Bryan’s passing. She wanted to ensure that those who had been with them from the beginning of their journey were acknowledged, with the Healey Center at Mass General leading the way. The insider added that she is thankful to all those who have made donations and is pleased that something positive has come out of such a heartbreaking event.
The news of Bryan Randall’s death was confirmed by his family, who shared in a statement that he passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS. Bryan had chosen to keep his struggle with ALS private, and those who cared for him respected his wishes. The family expressed immense gratitude towards the doctors and nurses who supported them throughout this illness, often sacrificing time with their own families.
Sandra Bullock and Bryan Randall first met in 2015 when he was hired to photograph her adopted son Louis’ birthday. Their relationship quickly developed, and they began dating a few months later. They attended Jennifer Aniston’s wedding to Justin Theroux together in August of that year. In December 2015, Bullock also adopted her daughter, Laila. Bryan Randall was already a father to his adult daughter Skylar from a previous relationship.
Bullock has faced challenges this month due to the fallout from the Michael Oher lawsuit, which has left her heartbroken and upset. Oher, the offensive tackle who inspired “The Blind Side,” claimed in court documents that his parents, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, never actually adopted him. This revelation has shadowed a special time in Bullock’s life, as she played Leigh Anne Tuohy in the film. The actress is deeply upset that something she believed to be true has been called into question.
The insider added that Bullock is determined to put on a strong front as the fallout from the lawsuit continues. The Tuohy family has responded, calling Oher’s filing hurtful and a shameful shakedown attempt. They maintain that Oher was well aware that he had not been adopted.
Sandra Bullock is feeling “grateful” for the support she’s received following the death of her longtime partner Bryan Randall.
The Oscar winner’s world was turned upside down earlier this month after Randall died following a three-year battle with ALS at age 57.
Bullock, 59, has “seen the incredible outpouring of support toward ALS research since Bryan’s passing,” a source told People.

“She is so grateful to all those who have donated and is happy that out of something so heartbreaking came something so positive for others,” the insider added.
