Sandra Bullock, Bryan Randall never married

While Bullock hasn’t said anything yet, it should be noted that the two have been in a relationship for quite some time. In 2015, they met for the first time when Randall was hired to photograph her son Louis’ birthday. Later that year the two made a public appearance together at the wedding of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. 

While speaking about her relationship, the Bird Box star told during a Red Table Talk that Bryan is a great example for her kids. “I have a partner who's very Christian and there are two different ways of looking at things. I don't always agree with him, and he doesn't always agree with me. But he is an example even when I don't agree with him,” she said. 

The two never officially got married. And Sandra too believed that they didn’t need a paper to prove their dedication to one another. "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,” she said on Red Table Talk.
