Actress Sandra Bullock was recently spotted in Los Angeles for the first time since the death of her longtime partner, Bryan Randall, in August. The "Blind Side" star was seen walking hand-in-hand with her daughter, Laila, and her bodyguard, Peter Weireter. The mother-daughter duo appeared to be in good spirits throughout the outing.
Bullock kept her look casual yet chic in a white crewneck T-shirt, black slacks, black belt, tan coat, and white sneakers. Bullock and Randall had been together for several years before his passing. He died following a secret three-year battle with ALS.
His family shared on Aug. 7: "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 has yet to publicly address the tragic loss of her partner. However, a source told People three weeks after his death that she is "grateful" for the support she has received.
"It was very important to her that when she and his family made the initial statement of Bryan's passing, those who were on this journey with her and Bryan, from the beginning, were recognized - with the Healey Center at Mass General leading the way," an insider said.
They met in 2015
Bullock's sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, praised her for being an "amazing" caretaker who "assembled" a team to take care of Randall over the years. Sources exclusively told Page Six that Bullock even put her Hollywood career on pause to help him.
The Academy Award winner met Randall in 2015 when he photographed her son's birthday party. They made their red carpet debut two months later and have been photographed several times since. Randall helped Bullock raise her two children in addition to co-parenting his grown daughter, Skylar, from a previous relationship.
Despite the tragic loss, Bullock has been able to find some positivity in the situation. According to the source who spoke with People, she has "seen the incredible outpouring of support toward ALS research since Bryan's passing." ALS donations spiked 500 percent after his death. "She is so grateful to all those who have donated and is happy that out of something so heartbreaking came something so positive for others," the source shared.
