Bullock is mom to Louis, 16, and Laila, 12.
She began dating Randall in 2015, and he was diagnosed with ALS in 2020.
Sandra Bullock says it was no surprise to her kids that her partner, Bryan Randall, was going through a health crisis that eventually led to his August 2023 death from ALS.
They were "completely aware," Bullock said Monday on the SmartLess podcast hosted by Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes. "Absolutely aware, because once there is a situation where you're bedridden. We all have to go there. It was in my house, and I did my best to set up whatever I could, and I am lucky in that I had the means to pay for it."

Sandra Bullock feared she'd develop "a little bit of a mental issue" if she continued acting while caring for her sick partner Bryan Randall.
During the press tour for The Lost City in March 2022, the Oscar-winning actress revealed it would be her last film "for a while" because she wanted to take a break and be at home with her family.
In August of the following year, it was revealed that her photographer partner Randall had died after a private three-year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He was 57.
While opening up about his death for the first time on the SmartLess podcast, Bullock admitted that she was concerned for her mental health while juggling The Lost City, caring for Randall and looking after her two children.
"When Bryan got sick, after Lost City, I was like, 'I can't.' I thought I was going to have a little bit of a mental issue. I was like, 'I can't, I can't, I can't,'" she candidly shared.
Two months after wrapping production in the Dominican Republic, the Miss Congeniality star had to return to the film for a reshoot, and she turned up to set exhausted from caring for Randall.

Sandra Bullock has opened up about how Bryan Randall's death changed the way she sees life. Caring for her longtime partner also made her realize she had not been taking care of herself.
The 62-year-old actress discussed the experience during an August 17 appearance on SiriusXM's SmartLess podcast. She was there to promote Practical Magic 2, her first movie since 2022's The Lost City.
Bullock said she now feels a deep sense of happiness she didn't have before, while also acknowledging that her own health had taken a back seat while caring for Randall.
She said, "I didn't take care of myself then, but I do take care of myself now. My sister, for my birthday, gave me this beautiful pewter box, and it said 'Leonardo da Vinci,' a quote by him at like 87; he says, 'I'm still learning'. I went, 'Oh.' That's why, I think, I have such happiness in my chest."
Bryan Randall died at 57 in August 2023 after a private three-year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He had asked Bullock not to publicly discuss his diagnosis, which she said left her feeling isolated during the difficult period.

Sandra Bullock is opening up about the loss of her longtime partner, Bryan Randall, for the first time since his death in August 2023.
Randall — a model-turned-photographer — met Bullock in 2015 after she hired him to photograph her son Louis' fifth birthday party. He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2020.
ALS is a progressive nervous system disease in which the brain gradually loses its connection with the muscles, taking away a person's ability to walk, talk, eat and, eventually, breathe. There is currently no cure or treatment that halts progression.
Bullock, 62, recalled the "traumatic diagnosis" in the forthcoming episode of the Smartless podcast, which is currently available to SiriusXM early access subscribers.
"I wasn't allowed to speak about it. That was [his] request and I tried — I honored it," Bullock told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes.

Will Arnett drew a hard line on Monday's episode of SmartLess when co-host Jason Bateman steered a bathroom conversation toward Arnett's ex-wife, Amy Poehler.
The exchange went down with Bateman and Sean Hayes celebrating their shared comfort with "power burps" and flatulence between friends. Bateman noted that Arnett keeps his bodily functions strictly private, saying, "Willie doesn't, he doesn't," before pivoting to the question that set Arnett off.
"Did you ever poo in front of, um, Amy?" Bateman inquired (around the 4-minute mark) on the June 22 episode. With swiftness, Arnett fired back. "Are you looking for clicks? Are you trying to get something that we can click around?"
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
Bateman pressed on, reminding Arnett that he and Poehler had been married and raised two kids together. "I always forget people are listening to this," Bateman said. "Wait, but hang on. You were married to her, had two kids. You guys never went to the bathroom in front of each other?"

Amy Adams is more than just a five-time Oscar nominee — she's also apparently a life saver.
Recounting an unbelievable moment of selflessness on Monday's "Smartless" podcast episode, the "Cape Fear" star shared that she once came upon a man bleeding out from his neck after being stabbed. Acting alongside her husband and father, she sprung into action.
"We were in Santa Monica, coming out of our favorite restaurant … These people were screaming and a guy was walking and they were yelling, 'He's dying!' And my husband's like, 'That's blood!'" Adams told co-hosts Sean Hayes, Jason Bateman and Will Arnett. "I was like, 'Darren, you stay here with our daughter.' [My dad and I] ran over and he'd been stabbed in the neck. So he was bleeding and his friends were freaking out."
The topic of discussion arose as Hayes himself shared a story of how he once aided a gunshot victim by removing his shirt to create a sort of tourniquet, staying with the individual all the way through their ambulance transport to the hospital.
"I've come across a couple of scenes where we've been sort of the first people on the scene," Adams echoed.
