Sandra Bullock is ready for a fresh start. The actress and beloved Hollywood icon appears to be gearing up for a new phase in her life after an extended break from acting and the death of Bryan Randall, her partner of eight years.

In 2022, after the release of her film "The Lost City," Bullock shared the news that she would be taking a step back from acting and that she'd be planning on spending her foreseeable future with her kids and her family. "I’m so burnt out. I’m so tired, and I’m so not capable of making healthy, smart decisions, and I know it,” she said. “I just want to be 24/7 with my babies and my family. That’s where I’m gonna be for a while.”
Bullock used this time to be with Randall, who was diagnosed with ALS, a neurological disorder that affects motor neurons.

In 2021, Bullock made an appearance at the show Red Table Talk, with Jada Pinkett Smith, where she praised her dynamic with Randall and revealed the reason why the two had decided to not get married.
"We share two beautiful children — three children, his older daughter. It’s the best thing ever,” she said. “I don’t need a paper to be a devoted partner… I don’t need to be told to weather a storm with a good man."
“He’s the example that I would want my children to have.”
