Bryan Randall’s family released an emotional statement in which they said: “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.”
Bullock and Randall are said to have first met in 2015 when he was hired to photograph birthday pictures for the actress’ son Louis. In the following year, they went to Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s wedding. Since then, they have kept their relationship fairly private, only coming out for rare public events, like the “Ocean’s 8” premiere in 2018.

Bullock is the mother of Louis, 13, and Laila, 10, and she and Randall also parented his older daughter. The A-lister previously hailed Randall for being “the example” she wanted her children to have and referred to their blended family as “the best thing ever” in a 2021 interview on “Red Table Talk,” noting that she wasn’t focused on marriage as the next step in their life together.
Bullock reflected on the changes she made in her personal life to prepare for such a fulfilling chapter in her life when speaking with Access Hollywood on the red carpet for the opening of her movie “Unforgivable” in 2021.
“I wanted things to be different for myself because I was blessed with a beautiful child who deserved to have a mother who did the work, will always do the work, and is healthy. They deserve it,” she said.
Donations to the Massachusetts Association and the ALS Foundation are welcome, Randall’s family told Access.
