Sandra Bullock's long-term partner, Bryan Randall, has died aged 57 following a long battle with ALS.
They revealed Bryan died over the weekend, following a three year fight with the disease.
Their statement said: "It is with great sadness that we share that on Aug. 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS.
"Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honour his request."
Bryan was a model turned photographer and had been in a relationship with the Miss Congeniality actress since 2015.
The pair first met when he photographed her son Louis's birthday in January 2015 and later that year made their relationship public, including an appearance together at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux's wedding in August.
Sandra adopted two children, Louis in 2010 and Laila in 2015 and raised them as a single parent until she met Bryan who became a doting stepfather.
PEOPLE reported that Sandra was already in the process of adopting Laila when she met Bryan.
At the time the star-studded actress said: "I had Louis first. Then when I met him, we hadn't been together that long and I said, 'Remember that NDA you signed when you photographed my son? You know that still holds … because I'm bringing home a child when I come back from Toronto'".
Sandra said Bryan was "happy" and "scared" when she told him that she was adopting a second child.
