According to Sandra Bullock’s sister, Bryan Randall died before Sandra Bullock did, and they shared her final hours together.
The 57-year-old actress from “Oceans 8” tragically lost her 57-year-old husband to ALS, an illness he’d been hiding for a while.
“With deep sadness, we announce that Bryan Randall peacefully passed away on August 5th, concluding a valiant 3-year battle against ALS,” his family wrote in a statement. “.
Bryan made the conscious decision to keep his battle with ALS private, according to the family, and those of us who diligently provided for him obeyed his request. “.
The statement read, “We express our sincere gratitude to the unyielding medical professionals who guided us through the complexities of this illness, and to the exceptional nurses who became a vital part of our lives, frequently putting their own families aside to stand by ours.”. We humbly ask for privacy at this difficult time as we grieve and struggle to accept the harsh reality of saying goodbye to Bryan. “.
Bullock’s sister Gesine Bullock-Prado honored the accomplished model-turned-photographer on Instagram and provided some unique insight into the couple’s final moments.
Gesine posted a picture of Randall on Monday (August 7) and wrote, “I’m convinced that Bry has found the best fishing spot in heaven and is already casting his lure into rushing rivers teaming with salmon.”.
She continued by saying that Bullock had been by his side up until his passing on Saturday, August 5.
He had the best caregivers in my incredible sister and the team of nurses she put together to help her care for him in their home, Gesine continued.
“ALS is a cruel disease, but there is some comfort in knowing he had those people,” she said.
Bryan, please relax.

On Monday, Randall’s family announced his passing, revealing that he had been suffering from the condition for some time and that it damages the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
Bullock, 59, and Randall first spoke when the photographer documented the birthday party of Bullock’s son Louis in January 2015. A few months later, the couple started dating, and they made their red carpet debut the following year.
The “A Time to Kill” actress admitted Randall was the “love of her life” on “Red Table Talk” in December 2021, despite her own preference for solitude.
“.
At the time, the “Lost City” actress praised their blended family, which also includes Skylar, Randall’s daughter, and Louis and Laila, Sandra’s two children.
She described co-parenting with Randall as “setting the example I want my children to follow.”.
Regarding the passing of her partner, Bullock has not yet made any public remarks.
In lieu of flowers, Randall’s family has asked that contributions be made to the Massachusetts General Hospital and the ALS Association.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Sandra Bullock and Bryan Randall’s friends and family at this difficult time.
