Sandra Bullock’s Partner Bryan Randall Passes Away At 57 After Fighting ALS

Sandra Bullock’s Partner Bryan Randall Passes Away At 57 After Fighting ALS

Sandra Bullock’s long-time partner, Bryan Randall, passed away at the age of 57 over the weekend after a 3-year battle with ALS.

“It is with great sadness that we share that on Aug. 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS,” his family said in a statement. “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.”

    Bullock initially crossed paths with Randall, a model-turned-photographer, during the photography session for her son Louis’s birthday in January 2015. Their relationship gained more visibility in subsequent months, culminating in a public appearance at the wedding of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux later that year.

    Despite being part of Hollywood’s high-profile circle due to their respective careers and her status as one of Hollywood’s A-listers, they managed to maintain their relationship relatively low-key.

    In her “Red Table Talk” interview, Bullock called herself a “bulldozer” in their relationship.

    “He was so happy but he was so scared,” Bullock explained. “I’m a bulldozer. My life was already on the track and here is this beautiful human being who doesn’t want anything to do with my life, but the right human being to be there.”

    ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is categorized as a motor neuron disease that impacts nerve cells located in the brain and spinal cord. Regrettably, the condition progresses as time goes on, and as of now, there exists no known cure.

    My maternal grandmother died of ALS. We took care of her in our home for her last few years, and her death was slow, dehumanizing, and brutal. I was a child but I could clearly see that my grandma’s mind was still there in its entirety, zero problems there, but her body was slowly losing the ability to eat, walk, hold its waste in normally, and eventually, to breathe. She had to wear diapers near the end and I can only imagine, as a strong Mexican woman who was born in the 1920s, how brutal and shameful that must have been for her. I hope she realized how much she was loved by the fact of how willing her daughter, son-in-law, and her young granddaughters were happily willing to care for her and clean her and feed her. I’m sure she still felt helpless and demeaned, but I hope she felt our love as well. She died in the mid-90s, but I can still remember her so well (and the swift strike of the chancla that ALL young children in the family felt at one time or another, lol)

    An uncle of mine died of ALS. His decline from a spirited sporty strong guy to practically immobile and forced to talk via a computer was heartbreaking.

    We have to give a try on herbal supplements which effectively get rid of herbal ALS condition dramatically. After 13 weeks of her usage,she lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took her off the riluzole (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started her on the ALS natural herbal formula we ordered. It is advisable to always try natural herbs at first because MULTIVITAMIN HERBAL CURE ( www. multivitamincare. org ) neutralizes her ALS/MND which surprises everyone at home.
