When Hollywood darling Sandra Bullock hired photographer Bryan Randall to capture the fun at her little boy’s fifth birthday party, little did she know that her son would soon be calling the former fashion model “Dad.”

“I found the love of my life,” the Tinseltown actress and mother of Louis, now 13, and Laila, 11, revealed to Red Table Talk host Jada Pinkett Smith six years after meeting Bryan. “It’s the best thing ever.”

Tragically, the Speed star’s happily-ever-after was cut much too short when Bryan, 57, died on Aug. 5 after a three-year battle with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Sandra, 59, had been by his side every step of the way, taking time off from making movies to help him navigate the incurable degenerative disease.

“Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private,” his broken-hearted family said in a statement revealing the devastating news, “and those of us who cared for him did our best to honour his request.”

Within minutes, Sandra’s relatives and friends began enveloping her in virtual hugs.

“My heart is broken for Sandy and Bryan,” shared Octavia Spencer, 53, who co-starred with the mom of two in 1996’s A Time to Kill and 2005’s Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous.
