- Sandra Bullock's longtime partner Bryan Randall died on Saturday at the age of 57.
- Randall was diagnosed with ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, three years ago.
Sandra Bullock said she was putting her career on "pause" to spend more time with her family just a year before the death of her longtime partner, Bryan Randall.
Randall's family announced in a statement Monday that the 57-year-old photographer died on Saturday, three years after being diagnosed with ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Bullock and Randall, who largely kept their relationship private, had been dating since 2015.
While promoting her latest movie, "The Lost City," last year, Bullock said she wanted to take a break from acting in order to spend more time with her family.
She told CBS News: "I can be creative, I can be part of a community, but right now, work in front of the camera needs to take a pause."
The "Miss Congeniality" star added that she constantly wanted to be at home with her family whenever she was in front of a camera.
"I'm not doing anyone any favors who's investing in a project if I'm saying, 'I just want to be at home.' Cause I was always running, I was always running to the next thing. I just want to be present, and responsible for one thing," Bullock said. "I would just love to clean out the basement."
She continued: "I have a room where all my shit goes, for all the years. I want to go through it, and I want to see if I remember any of it."
Bullock said at the time that she didn't know how long she would be taking a break from acting.
"That's what's a little scary about it, I don't know," the 59-year-old actor said. "Watch: six months from now, I can't handle this anymore, I need to go back to work. But I don't want to do that. If that feeling comes, I don't want to do that. I don't want to rely on work to fill me. But I just don't see a lot, other than everyone under my roof. That's it. I know it's not very sexy, but you know what? It's mine."
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Bullock reiterated her desire to take a break.
"I take my job very seriously when I'm at work," she said. "And I just want to be 24/7 with my babies and my family."
Earlier this week, Bullock's sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, said that the "Bird Box" star was "the best of caretakers" to Randall in an Instagram post.
"ALS is a cruel disease but there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister and the band of nurses she assembled who helped her look after him in their home," Bullock-Prado wrote.
