Sandra’s face was still sad. She held her youngest daughter Laila’s hand tightly. Occasionally, the Hollywood actress turns to chat and kiss her 11-year-old daughter’s cheek. Laila was as tall as her mother’s shoulders. The girl wore a blue outfit, sneakers and had her hair in small braids.

This is the first time Sandra has appeared after losing her boyfriend of 8 years. Photographer Bryan Randall passed away at the age of 57 on August 5, after three years of silently battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Sandra first met Bryan in 2015 when he took birthday photos for her son, Louis. That summer, the two announced their relationship publicly. According to E! News , after the Oscar-winning actress adopted her daughter Laila, Bryan moved in with her and helped take care of her two children. Bryan also has a stepdaughter named Skylar from a previous relationship.

Sandra and Bryan last appeared publicly in July 2020 when they attended an intimate gathering with the actress’s two children.

In an interview, the 59-year-old actress called Bryan “the love of my life.” Sandra described her boyfriend as a “very patient” and wonderful man like a saint. “He is a role model that I want my children to follow,” she said.

Sandra and Bryan are said to have exchanged vows in a private wedding ceremony in the Bahamas in 2017 but did not register their marriage. Sandra Bullock explains that she doesn’t need a marriage license to be a devoted partner and mother. Previously, the Hollywood star experienced a broken marriage due to her husband’s adultery.
