Sandra Gets Her Happy

Friends tell Us all about the star’s “amazing dynamic” with her low-key love, Bryan Randall

When a beaming Sandra Bullock arrived at the Ocean’s 8 premiere in NYC on June 5 last year, it was clear that she and Bryan Randall have a very special bond. Holding his hand as they emerged from the limo, Sandra never let him go, leaning in close to her handsome beau, who stood protectively beside her until it was time to walk the red carpet. Three days later, when Bryan was spotted taking Sandra and her children, Louis and Laila, to a birthday party back home in L.A., the close foursome looked like a picture-perfect family.

Sandra has every reason to be smiling these days; after more than a few missteps and a lot of heartbreak, America’s Sweetheart, 54, has finally found Mr. Right. “Sandy has made some bad choices with men in the past, but Bryan is such a sweet soul, and things couldn’t be more different from the toxic relationships she’s been in before,” a friend of the actress tells Us, adding that after four years of dating the 53-year-old model turned photographer, “she knows Bryan is The One.”

In fact, the fiercely private Bird Box star, who’s long kept her romances out of the public eye, is so overjoyed she can’t help but tell the world just how wonderful her life with Bryan is. “Right now would be the ultimate time,” she gushed recently. “Everything is… amazing.”
