Sandra Bullock’s longtime partner Bryan Randall has died at the age of 57. 

The model-turned-photographer had been privately battling ALS – Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – for the past three years. 

His family confirmed the news to People Magazine, stating that he died peacefully on Saturday, August 5, and that as his family they had ‘honored his request’ to keep his journey with ALS away from the public eye. 

“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,” they wrote.

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

Randall and Bullock first started dating in 2015, after she hired him as a photographer for her son’s birthday party. 

Since then, the pair made efforts to keep their life together private, with rare appearances together on the red carpet and out with Bullock’s two adopted children, Louis Bardo and Laila. 

ALS is a progressive neuro-degenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

Once diagnosed, the average life expectancy of someone with ALS ranges from two to five years.
