Sandra Bullock's Sister Shares How Actress Cared for Late Partner Bryan Randall Before His Death

Sandra Bullock's sister has remembered how the star was the 'best of caretakers' to her longtime partner, Bryan Randall before he died after a  three-year battle with ALS at the age of 57.

The actress’ sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, shared a rare insight into the couple’s final moments together in a heartfelt Instagram tribute.

“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,” Gesine captioned a smiling photo of Randall Monday.

Additionally, she revealed that Sandra was by his side before his death on Saturday.

“ALS is a cruel disease but there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister and the band of nurses she assembled who helped her look after him in their home,” Gesine added. “Rest in peace, Bryan.”

News of Randall’s death came as a shock as he did not publicly disclose his diagnosis. Through a statement attributed to his “loving family,” Randall passed away “peacefully” on Saturday.

“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. 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,” the statement read. “At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.”

Though she’s lived her life in the public eye as one of Hollywood’s most successful movie stars for decades, Bullock is known to be private about her personal life. She did, however, open up a bit about her relationship with Randall during a 2021 appearance on Facebook Watch’s "Red Table Talk."

“I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children — three children, [Randall’s] older daughter. It’s the best thing ever,” Bullock said at the time, referencing her two adopted children, son Louis and daughter Laila. “I don’t wanna say do it like I do it, but I don’t need a paper to be a devoted partner and devoted mother. I don’t need to be told to be ever present in the hardest of times. I don’t need to be told to weather a storm with a good man.”

The pair met in 2015 when Randall was hired to photograph a birthday party for Bullock’s son, Louis. “He’s the example that I would want my children to have. I have a partner who’s very Christian and there are two different ways of looking at things. I don’t always agree with him, and he doesn’t always agree with me. But he is an example even when I don’t agree with him.”

Randall, from Portland, Oregon, worked as a fashion model for luxury brands like Hugo Boss and Saint Laurent before a career transition led him to become a photographer.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS, is a progressive neurological illness that is always fatal. It is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, after the famous New York Yankees baseball player who was forced to retire after developing the condition in 1939.

Randall’s family is suggesting donations be made to the ALS Association and Massachusetts General Hospital.
