As Sandra Bullock’s partner Bryan Randall dies, a look at her marriage to Jesse James, children and sister

Sandra Bullock’s sister Gesine Bullock-Prado has taken to her Instagram after it was revealed that Sandra’s partner Bryan Randall has passed away from ALS. Gesine is a pastry chef and baking instructor and is the founder of Small Glider Kitchen, which are small baking classes that take place in Vermont. Gesine is also the author of ‘My Vermont Table,’ a book about recipes for all seasons.

Gesine Bullock-Prado posted the following tribute to Sandra Bullock’s partner on Instagram. “I’m convinced that Bry has found the best fishing spot in heaven and is already casting his lure into rushing rivers teaming with salmon. ALS is a cruel disease but there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister and the band of nurses she assembled who helped her look after him in their home. Rest in peace, Bryan. In lieu of flowers, please donate to ALS Association and Massachusetts General Hospital (links in bio).”

Sandra Bullock and her sister Gesine Bullock-Prado are very close, before working as a pastry chef, Gesine was a lawyer and helped Sandra launch her production company, Fortis Films. Sandra’s plus-one for The Lost City premiere (starring Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum) was her sister Gesine.

Before dating Bryan Randall, Sandra Bullock was married to Jesse James. The couple married in 2005 and divorced in 2010. US Weekly reported that “they divorced in June 2010 after multiple women came forward in March claiming they’d had affairs with James. He later admitted to the infidelity during a 2011 appearance on ABC News.”

Sandra Bullock has two children, Louis and Laila. She started the adoption process for Louis with Jesse James in 2010, but after the couple broke up, Sandra continued the process alone. In December 2015, she adopted her daughter, Laila. 

In March 2022, Sandra Bullock revealed to Entertainment Tonight that she was taking a step back from her acting career. “I take my job very seriously when I’m at work,” she revealed before saying “And I just want to be 24/7 with my babies and my family.”
