Nakasaad dito: "It is with great sadness that we share that on Aug. 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS.
"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.
"We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours.
"At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan."
Unang nagkakilala sina Sandra at Bryan noong January 2015 dahil ang huli ang photographer para sa kaarawan ni Louis, isa sa dalawang adopted children ng sikat na Hollywood actress.
Sa isang interbyu noong December 2021, sinabi ni Sandra na natagpuan na nito ang "love of her life."
Saad niya, "I don't wanna say do it like I do it, but I don't need a paper to be a devoted partner and devoted mother.
"I don't need to be told to be ever present in the hardest of times. I don't need to be told to weather a storm with a good man."
Tinawag ding "saint" ni Sandra si Randall dahil, diumano, napakabait ng kanyang karelasyon.

Pinararatangan ng netizens na "fake news" ang ulat ng Us Weekly, at hinihikayat na bawiin ang kanilang walang katotohanang ulat.
Pati na ang headline nila tungkol sa pagpanaw ni Randall na “Sandra Bullock’s Onetime Partner Bryan Randall Dead at 57 After Secret ALS Battle.”
