FOR the first time, Sandra Bullock has spoken about the cause of death of her longtime partner, Bryan Randall.
In a new episode of the “SmartLess” podcast, the 62-year-old actress said Randall died from a “traumatic diagnosis” at the age of 57 in August 2023.
The photographer had reportedly been secretly battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, for three years.
“Randall asked me not to share” his diagnosis, the Oscar-winning “The Blind Side” star said, as quoted by People.com.
“I wasn’t allowed to speak about it. That was the request and I tried — I honored it. I know why he asked me not to. I started grieving Bryan four years before he passed,” Bullock added.
Bullock’s episode of “SmartLess” will be available on podcast platforms on Aug. 24, 2026. / TRC S
