Bryan Randall Suffered From ALS For Three Years
"It is with deep sadness that we share that on August 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after three years of battling ALS," said a family statement released Monday (7/8).
"Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS a secret and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request," the family said as reported by Page Six on Monday (7/8).
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a nerve disorder that worsens over time to cause paralysis.

The cause of ALS until now has not been ascertained. However, about 5-10 percent of ALS cases are known to be related to heredity. In addition, there are also factors of excess glutamate, immune system disorders, mitochondrial disorders, and oxidative stress.
"We are so grateful to the tireless doctors who faced the effects of this disease with us and to the amazing nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their families just to be with us," the family said.
The family then asked for privacy to grieve and say goodbye to Bryan.
Bryan Randall, who is known to work as a photographer, first met Sandra Bullock in January 2015. At that time they met on the birthday of Bullock's adopted son.
After the meeting, the two felt compatible with each other and proceeded to the dating stage. But the two only appeared together at the release of Bullock's film, Our Brand Is Crisis, in October 2015.
The two also had a romance privately and never boasted about their story. Randall rarely appeared with Bullock on the red carpet, despite coming with the 59-year-old actress.
But in December 2021, Sandra Bullock said on Red Table Talk that she "found the love of her life" in Randall.
"We share two beautiful kids, three kids, [with] Randall's daughter. It's the best thing ever," said Bullock, who adopted a boy and a girl. Meanwhile, Randall has a daughter from his previous partner.
