Sandra Bullock honored her late longtime partner, Bryan Randall, on what would have been his 58th birthday by fulfilling his wish to have his ashes spread in his favorite spot in Wyoming.
Sandra and Bryan’s Relationship
Sandra and Bryan, a professional photographer, first met in 2015 and kept their relationship very private over the years. Though they never married, they were together for over 7 years up until Bryan’s death in 2023 at age 57.
Sources close to the couple said Bryan brought immense joy and stability into Sandra’s life after her difficult divorce. They described him as Sandra’s “soulmate” and “a model of a man.”

Sandra Spreads Bryan’s Ashes in Wyoming
On January 4th, 2023, which would have been Bryan’s 58th birthday, Sandra spread his ashes in a river in Wyoming – a place he loved and had asked for his ashes to be taken.
Sandra waded into the river with the ashes in an urn then released them into the water. A source said:
“It was a very emotional moment for Sandra. Bryan loved Wyoming so much and had told her it’s where he wanted his ashes spread. She knew she had to honor his wish.”
The river location holds special meaning for the couple as they would frequently vacation there together over the years. The source said Sandra plans to travel there often to feel connected to Bryan.
The move shows the depth of Sandra and Bryan’s bond even after his passing. Another insider said:
“She and Bryan had spoken about final arrangements, and Sandra wanted to make sure she fulfilled everything Bryan wanted.”
Sandra’s Loss and Grieving Process
Losing her soulmate after over 7 years together has understandably left Sandra devastated. Sources report she has mostly been out of the public eye since Bryan’s October death, taking time to grieve.
An insider shared:
“She’s still reeling from the sudden loss. Bryan was the love of her life so this has hit Sandra really hard. She’s been spending a lot of time with her kids and leaning on close friends.”
Sandra was also previously married to Jesse James from 2005-2010, so Bryan’s death marks her second major breakup.
Friends say Sandra plans to scatter more of Bryan’s ashes in his hometown of Wyoming at a later time when more family can attend. Though heartbroken, Sandra is grateful for the years she had with him.
What Happens Next for Sandra
At 58 years old, Sandra will eventually look to move forward while still honoring Bryan’s memory. An insider said:
“She knows Bryan would want her to find happiness again someday, but she needs time to heal first.”
For now, Sandra plans to keep a low profile and be very selective about future roles. She still maintains her charming on-screen presence, as recently seen in 2022’s The Lost City. But friends say she will likely stay away from any major commitments in the near future.
Sandra’s rep gave no comment in response to the ash-spreading story. The very private actress always preferred keeping her and Bryan’s relationship out of the spotlight.
While the future is unclear, Sandra can find comfort knowing she gave Bryan the special farewell he hoped for. Sources say remembering their happy times together helps give her strength during this immense loss.
