Brian Randall, Sandra Bullock’s partner, died at age 57 after suffering from ALS.

Brian Randall, partner of Sandra Bullock for 8 years, died on August 5 at the age of 57. This was reported by his family, who also disclosed the cause of death. “It is with great sadness that we announce that Brian Randall passed away peacefully on August 5 after a three-year battle with ALS,” reads a statement released by People

“Brian decided to keep his journey through the illness a secret, and all those who cared for him did their best to comply with his request.” The Hollywood actress first met Randall in January 2015 when he was hired as a photographer for her son Louis’ birthday. That same year, they announced they were in a relationship and also made several public appearances, and in a 2021 interview, Bullock said he had found “the love of his life” with Randall. The couple had no children of their own, but the actress has two children, Louis and Layla, adopted in 2010 and 2015, and Randall has a daughter named Skylar from a previous marriage. Three years ago, the model and photographer were diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which the couple decided to keep secret from the public. “We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who accompanied us throughout the entire period of illness, and the wonderful nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their families to be with ours,” the family statement said, “in this for now we ask seclusion to process our grief and accept the impossible task of saying goodbye to Brian.”
