Bryan Randall, the longtime partner of Sandra Bullock, has died aged 57 from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), it has been announced.

In a statement to People magazine, Randall’s family said that he had died on Saturday “after a three-year battle with ALS”. The statement added: “Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honour 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.”

ALS, also referred to as motor neurone disease in the UK and Lou Gehrig’s disease in the US, is a neurodegenerative disease that leads to loss of voluntary control over muscles, and for which there is no cure.

Bullock and Randall first met in 2015, when he was the photographer for her son’s birthday. In 2021 she described him as “the love of my life”, and said that the “very Christian” Randall was “[a good] example [to their children] even when I don’t agree with him”.
