Sandra Bullock’s longtime partner, Bryan Randall, died Saturday after a three-year battle with ALS, his family confirmed to Fox News Digital. He was 57.
"It is with great sadness that we share that on August 5th Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a 3 year battle with ALS," his family said in a statement.
"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," they continued.
"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."

Bullock and Randall, who was a photographer, had been dating since 2015. According to People magazine, the pair first met when he was hired to take pictures during the birthday party for her son, Louis, that January.

"I don't want to say do it like I do it, but I don't need a paper to be a devoted partner and devoted mother," she said, addressing the topic of marriage. "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."
