Sandra Bullock stunned fans when she announced in 2022 that she was taking a hiatus from acting for the foreseeable future. "I'm so burnt out. I'm so tired, and I'm so not capable of making healthy, smart decisions, and I know it," she confessed after releasing one of her last movies, The Lost City. She needed to be at home.
"I just want to be 24/7 with my babies [Louis, 14, and Laila, 11] and my family. That's where I'm gonna be for a while," she explained before retreating from the spotlight. What the public didn't know at the time was that Sandra was also stepping back to care for her longtime partner, photographer Bryan Randall, who'd been diagnosed with a terminal health condition.
Bryan tragically lost his fight in August 2023. Now, a year after his death at 57 following a private three-year battle with the progressive neurodegenerative disorder ALS, Sandra's life looks different than she imagined. "Her entire world collapsed when Bryan passed away," says an insider, "but little by little, she's been learning how to cope. Every day, it gets just a bit better."
She celebrated her 60th birthday on July 26 days before marking the anniversary of Bryan's death and found she was able to embrace the milestone and where she's at now.
