After all of the crap Sandra Bullock dealt with in her first and only marriage to Jesse James, she kept her romantic life out of the headlines. I didn?t even realize that she had been with Bryan Randall for the better part of eight years, that?s how low-key they were as a couple. They met in 2015 and they were together ever since. Last year, Sandra spoke about needing a break and being ?burnt out.? Most of us didn?t blink an eye or think anything of it, but it turns out that she took this break to care for Bryan, who battled ALS in the last three years of his life. Bryan Randall passed away on Sunday.
Sandra Bullocks longtime partner Bryan Randall died over the weekend, his family revealed in a statement to PEOPLE on Monday. He was 57.
It is with great sadness that we share that on Aug. 5, Bryan Randall passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS, his family shared. Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request.
We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours, his family added. At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan, the statement concluded, signed, His Loving Family.
Bullock, 59, first met Randall, a model-turned-photographer, when he photographed her son Louiss birthday in January 2015. They took their relationship more public later that year, including an appearance at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Therouxs wedding.
Bullock, who is mother to her son Louis, 13, and daughter Laila, 10, addressed the topic of marriage during a December 2021 appearance on Red Table Talk.
I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children? three children, [Randalls] older daughter. Its the best thing ever, Bullock said at the time. I dont wanna say do it like I do it, but I dont need a paper to be a devoted partner and devoted mother, she said, adding, I dont need to be told to be ever present in the hardest of times. I dont need to be told to weather a storm with a good man.

This is so sad and so devastating for Sandra. There were photos, over the years, of Sandra and Bryan just doing normal-family things in LA, like going out for some ice cream or taking the kids somewhere. It was a real partnership and more of a marriage, frankly, then that Jesse James bullsh-t. He always sounded like such a solid guy. What an utter tragedy.

You guys, I totally forgot about Natalie Portman?s marriage drama. There?s just been so much marriage drama in the past four months!! Kevin Costner, Ariana Grande, Spongebob Sidepiece, Sofia Vergara, and on and on. I forgot (temporarily) that Natalie Portman?s husband Benjamin Millepied was outed as a big-time cheater. That happened in early June, when a French tabloid spilled all of the details about Millepied?s affair with 25-year-old Camille Etienne. The affair apparently lasted for months and Millepied was caught (by that French tabloid) in photos, going into some pied a terre for an assignation with Etienne.
Soon after the story broke (like, within hours), Natalie Portman went into damage-control mode and let it be known that the affair was over and she and Benjamin were working through it. Then Portman made a point of being photographed solo but wearing her wedding ring at a football game and a tennis match in Paris, and then the story just died for two months. Died? like Natalie and Benjamin?s marriage. According to Us Weekly, they?ve separated.
Natalie Portman and her husband, Benjamin Millepied, have separated after 11 years of marriage, Us Weekly can confirm.
?After news of his affair came out, they?ve been trying to work on their marriage but are currently on the outs,? an insider exclusively tells Us of Portman, 42, and Millepied, 46.
The estranged couple ? who share son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 6 ? renewed speculation about their status on their 11th wedding anniversary on Friday, August 4, when Portman was spotted without her wedding ring during an Angel City FC event in Sydney, Australia.
In June, rumors swirled that Millepied was having an affair with Camille tienne, a 25-year-old climate activist. At the time, an insider told Us that Portman remained committed to her marriage despite the alleged infidelity.
?Natalie believes Benjamin?s affair was a brief and stupid liaison that means nothing to him,? the source exclusively told Us, adding that Portman was ?humiliated? by the rumors. According to the source, Portman was ?willing to see if she?s capable of rebuilding her trust? in Millepied to ensure that their kids don?t ?grow up in a broken home.?
[From Us Weekly]
First off, Benjamin is such a douche. As everyone is quick to point out, his romantic history is pretty rough he was living with girlfriend Isabella Boylston when he met and impregnated Natalie Portman, leaving Boylston in the lurch. Then fourteen years later, when he?s married and has two children with Portman, he?s slinking off and having affairs with 25-year-olds? Gross. Personally, I don?t find it weird that they?re separating or that Portman couldn?t get over his affair. The weird thing, to me, was that she tried to protect him initially and tried to save the marriage. Some things are unforgivable, some things you just can?t move past.

| | Jessica Biel: The first two weeks of school are so chaotic and stressful | | Added 466 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Summer is more than halfway over, and school districts around the country are starting to open back up for the new school year. My children are already back in school because we go to a year-round school, where every nine weeks, they get three weeks off plus a few extra weeks around Christmas/New Years and 4th of July. We love it. Our kids really benefit from getting a ?brain break? every nine weeks. It?s also great that they?re not out of school long enough to forget what they?ve already learned. Another huge benefit is that we don?t really ever lose that school routine where we have to all do a stressful readjustment.
Jessica Biel has two (possibly unvaccinated) sons with Justin Timberlake. Her older son, Silas, is eight and her younger one, Phineas, is three. School is starting back up soon for Silas, and Jessica gets how stressful back-to-school time can be for parents. She?s been out there doing the ?relatable mom? thing while hustling new bento-inspired pre-packed lunches that she teamed up with DoorDash to create in order to help parents during those hectic first few weeks back at school.
Back-to-school season presents plenty of challenges that families just don?t have to think about during the summer. And that?s something Jessica Biel says she?s absolutely experiencing in the ramp-up to her oldest son Silas?s return to class. And one of the most stressful conundrums is figuring out what to pack the 8-year-old for lunch.
?I was just griping to my friends and family and even on my social media, like, ?What am I going to do about lunches? How am I going to handle this??? admits Biel. ?Its so chaotic, the first couple of weeks of school, and its stressful. Your kids are feeling the stress, and youre feeling the stress, and all you want to do is be on your game and be like one step ahead.?
It?s for that reason that she was inspired to partner with DoorDash to create Grab & Go Bento, bento-inspired lunches for stressed parents. The lunches were such a success that they sold out quickly, but the app is also touting their convenient grocery delivery, which makes it easy to stock up on groceries for the week or refresh what?s running out.
The way the app can simplify meal prep is particularly useful to Biel as she strives to find balanced breakfasts and lunches for her boys. ?If I dont ask [my son what he wants to eat, he] comes back and says, ?You didnt tell me what I was gonna have in my lunch,?? she shares. ?So, he feels surprised by what Ive put in there. Even though I think, ?Oh, these are his favorite things. Hell love this.? Its so funny. I feel like I can never win. Im really all about trying to make my life a little bit simpler and trying to help other parents do the same just because I deeply know how hard it is.?
Biel adds that anything that takes the thinking out of creating balanced meals is ?such an incredible help when youre trying to get back in your rhythm to get back into school.?

I understand what Jessica is saying here. Like I said above, we?re lucky that we never quite get to a place where we completely fall out of routine, but starting a new school year can still be stressful and chaotic. Honestly, when I first heard about Jessica?s Grab & Go DoorDash boxes, I assumed that it would be some overpriced Goop-adjacent thing. I looked it up on DoorDash?s website and turns out it?s five meals for $25, which seems fairly reasonable to me? The lunches also seem pretty standard: a bagel, sunflower seed butter and jelly, salami, fruit snacks, white cheddar puffs, etc.
However, I have to admit that I sort of snort-chuckled at, ?What am I going to do about lunches? How am I going to handle this?? I know she?s shilling her product but she sounds soooo melodramatic. Bish, you aren?t worried about how you?re going to afford to feed your kid. You?re worried about figuring out how to throw some fancy PB&J, gluten-free goldfish, and organic apple slices together. FWIW, DoorDash does say that theyll donate five meals per purchase to the All Peoples Community Center to aid in the organization?s commitment to help children succeed at each stage of development. It would be great if Jessica and Justin could at the very least match that donation since nothing says, I want to help relieve parents who are stressing over lunches during the chaotic first few weeks of school quite like donating to an organization that will help parents stressing over providing lunches to their kids during (and beyond) those first few weeks of school.
