Sandra Bullock ‘exchanged vows’ with Bryan Randall six years before his death

Sandra Bullock and Bryan Randall never tied the know but “exchanged vows on a beach in the Bahamas in a beautiful ceremony witnessed by close friends and family in December 2017. In an adorable video obtained by MailOnline.com , the couple were seen sharing an intimate moment as they slow danced together following the ceremony. The Oscar -winning actress was wearing a blue and white patterned kaftan, her hair in braids and flip flops on her feet and she tightly held on to Bryan. Meanwhile, Bryan sported a white linen shirt paired with some dark jeans and a similar pair of flip-flops to his beloved partner as he lovingly gazed at Sandra in the clip. However, the ceremony was not legally binding and involved no officiant but instead saw the Hollywood actress declare herself to the man she called, “the love of my life” as he professed his love for her in return. v (Image: Getty) This was the small but beautiful affair that Sandra, who had no desire to marry again following her divorce from Jesse James in 2010, wanted. The video was reportedly filmed just three years before the couple’s life would be turned upside-down, as in 2012 Byran would receive his devastating diagnosis with ALS, the disease which tragically took his life on August 5, 2023. As per MailOnline one close friend shared: “They really did this for the children, to kind of seal the deal and show them this was a forever thing.” Before revealing the sweet news that “after the ceremony, Louis (13) and Laila (11) started calling Bryan dad”.

The low-key ceremony marked the culmination of a 14-day trip to Arpaud Busson’s Three Bees Villa on Harbor Island. The lavish retreat owned by the French financier, who was once married to Elle Macpherson and later fathered a daughter by Uma Thurman, is a favourite place for the Ocean’s 8 star and her family. One guest who was also in attendance explained: “It was Bryan’s birthday on December 31 so it’s like they wanted to celebrate everything all at once.” The pair first met in 2015 at Louis’ birthday party (Image: Getty) Sandra met Bryan in 2015 after she hired him as a photographer for her son’s birthday party. The couple made efforts to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, although on an appearance with Red Table Talk in November 2021, she expressed her adoration for Bryan, calling him the “love of her life”. Sadly their time together was cut short after his family confirmed the news of his death to People Magazine , stating that he died peacefully over the weekend and that as his family they had “honoured his request” to keep his journey with ALS away from the public eye. Their statement read: “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,” they wrote. “At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.”
