Read our privacy policy A celebrity tabloid magazine in the US has been sharply criticised after it appeared report that Sandra Bullock and her longterm partner Bryan Randall had a “messy split”, just days after it was confirmed that the photographer died of ALS. The latest edition of Star magazine, which is also known as In Touch Weekly, has reportedly published a cover showing separate photos of Bullock and Randall, with the headline: “Sandra and Bryan: It’s Over.” However, the edition was released on Friday, just four days after Randall’s family announced that the 57-year-old had died, on Monday. The source also claimed that Randall was “resentful” that Bullock’s Hollywood career meant he was “often left home alone with Sandra’s kids Louis, 13, and Laila, 11, while she was off filming”. Bullock’s long-time co-star and friend Octavia Spencer also wrote in an Instagram post that Bullock had lost her “soulmate”, adding that her “heart is broken for Sandy and Bryan”.
