Thoughts and prayers are in order for Academy-Award winner Sandra Bullock as news breaks out that she has lost her partner Bryan Randall after his private 3 year battle with ALS. Tyndall’s family shared a statement with People announcing his death while also asking for privacy as those closest to him are able to properly mourn.
Randall and Bullock met in January 2015 and while they never married Bullock went on to describe Randall as “the love of her life” during an appearance on the Red Table Talk. IN that same interview Bullock went on to praise Randall for the great example he set for Bullock’s children from a previous marriage.
In the wake of his death one of Bullock’s longest friends and three time Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer took to social media to support Bullock in her time of need. Bullock and Spencer have been friends ever since their collaboration on the A Time to Kill in 1996.
The Instagram post contained a photoshopped image of Bullock and Randall smiling with a tear jerking caption. “My heart is broken for Sandy and Bryan. Sandy lost her soulmate and the world lost a talented, handsome, all around good guy! My prayers and condolences to their families,” Spencer wrote. Spencer fished out her captions with the hashtags #soulmates and #ALS
ALS, also colloquially known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a condition which impacts a person’s nervous system in their spinal cord and brain. The disease worsens over time and soon patients begin to lose control of their muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe. The disease is fatal with no cure known. The disease typically starts to form in the hands, feet, arms or legs and is mainly caused by genetics, age and sex.
