Yesterday we learned the identity of Sandra Bullock’s new boyfriend, a 49 year-old male model turned photographer named Bryan Randall. Randall has been dating Bullock for a few months, and she brought him to Jennifer Aniston’s wedding as her plus one. As many of you pointed out, someone is trying to make Randall happen. There were suspiciously posed paparazzi photos of him lounging in his doorway, shirtless and smoking a cigarette, and there are plenty of quotes in the press about how attractive he is and what a great guy he is. People Magazine ran no less than four stories about Randall earlier this week, including a 5 Things To Know About with details of his family, modeling and photography career, and various stories about how happy Bullock is now, and how her friends like Jennifer Aniston are happy for her. It’s pretty suspicious and makes Randall someone shady to me.
In our last story on this new couple, we noted that People magazine mentioned that Randall was previously dating a woman named Paris St. John who was just 23 years old. Paris’s father, soap actor Kristoff St. John, is the same age as Randall, making one wonder how he met her exactly. Well Paris’s mother confirmed her daughters relationship with Randall to In Touch, and she also admitted that Randall broke up with her daughter right before he started dating Bullock. So shady. It’s ok though, because Randall is a good guy according to Paris’s mom.
In Touch magazine has exclusively learned that Sandra Bullock’s new man, model turned photographer Bryan Randall, was in a serious relationship with a woman 26 years his junior, Paris St. John, when he met Sandra!
Paris’ mother, Mia St. John, exclusively tells In Touch magazine that Bryan and Paris dated for the past two-and-a-half years and had just broken up when he started dating Sandra this summer.
But even after the split, Mia has nothing but great things to say about Sandra’s new boyfriend.
“Bryan is the kindest human being I’ve ever met. He’s an amazing person,” Mia tells In Touch. “He’s a free spirit who doesn’t care about money or Hollywood.”
“Sandra went into the relationship worried about getting her heart broken again, but she’s learning to trust Bryan,” an insider tells In Touch. “I think she is finally finding real love. She sounds the happiest I’ve ever heard her.”
“We love Bryan, he’ll always be our family till the very end. He’s a very good guy,” Mia tells In Touch.
I get the impression that there was overlap and that this guy dumped his young girlfriend once he had Bullock on the hook. Also note that Randall was dating this 23 year-old for two and a half years, meaning he was about 46/47 and she was about 20/21 when they met. Think about that, a 46 year-old man dating a 21 year-old who ended up dumping her for a 51 year-old movie star. He’s been with Sandra for maybe four months tops by this timeline and is advertising his business and making a name for himself.
In case Mia didn’t get the word out that her daughter’s former boyfriend is a great guy, US Weekly also has a bunch of quotes from her. She says that Randall was supportive of her son with schizophrenia and that when her son died he volunteered his time to a nonprofit organization they founded in his honor. That’s nice. She says he’s humble and a great guy and that her daughter wasn’t ready to settle down. Ok, I’m coming around slightly on him but still the age difference is very sketchy.
E! online has some quotes from a source close to Randall who says that he recently visited New Orleans with Bullock and her five year-old son, Louis, and that “he likes her a lot.” Jezebel reports that Bullock met Randall when she hired him to take photos at Louis’s birthday, which was in January. So Bullock and Randall met in January and started dating this summer, after he broke up with the 23 year-old supposedly. That sounds like overlap to me.

As someone posted yesterday on this same story – run girl!
Wasn’t the same profile given for Evil Jesse when they were together? How he was the perfect father taking care of his kids with no help from his problematic ex. I always believed the profile sold to the public pre scandal was from Sandy’s people. She needs to stop creating perfect public profiles for these men when she barely knows them.
Beat me to it! Ghost him and ghost him hard.
Doesn’t he have a child, too? I can understand him wanting to settle down, and a 21-year-old not being up for that. Reserving judgement for now.
His kid is grown now.
Yes, but who’s shocked that a 23 year old kid isn’t ready to settle down with a 49 year old man??? When he met her a 20, did he really think “Yeah, this is the woman I could settle down and raise a family with”? No. I think it’s a convenient excuse.
Why would he want to start another family in his mid-40ies when he already has a grown up kid?
Zip, so many men have the middle-aged second family, I see it around me all the time! For celebrity references, there’s Bruce Willis and Alec Baldwin who both have young wives and young children.
Whatever makes people happy, but my youngest is off to college next year, and I can only laugh at the thought of starting over.
@Zinjojo,
I have a childhood friend that had TWINS with her then new husband, who died while they were in the middle of a divorce,after finish raising children on her own.(All in their twenties by the way).
She’s now trying to stay on disability after getting hurt working as a nurse.( Her job says she’s well enough to work,which she is by the way)
I have another one who finished raising her kids(one is away at college) only to marry a younger man and just had a baby. She’s also a nurse who’s hours were changed, after many years at the hospital ,while pregnant.(And not good hours)
So this is not just limited to men.
And yes I’m laughing my as off because I was the one always pitied because I never married or had kids.
I go home to my dogs and cats and stretch out on my big comfy chair and enjoy the silence.
@funcakes, you’re so right — not limited to men, women certainly have second families too!
@zinjojo, From what I’ve seen the men who have second families in mid-life are mostly doing it as part of the deal that they made with their much younger wife. Most of the women having mid-life families are having children for the first time because they put it off or they have experienced fertility issues.
This is the woman in question btw. http://photos.laineygossip.com/articles/bryan-paris-instagram-03sept15-02.JPG With a face like that, who’d want to settle for a 50 year old?
Very pretty girl. Her father’s pretty, too.
Run Forrest run……
Paris St John!! That’s quite a name.
It’s very Bond girl isn’t it, kinda like Busty Galore.
I might consider a name change to something similar like London St Valentine or Moscow St Bernard
Pawtucket St. Awww-Righty
Lol
I thought it was Pussy Galore.
Hahahaha!
Zapp Brannigan, thanks for the awesome laugh! I’m bored to death on a long car ride, and that’s funny 😂
Bahahahaha. Stephen McPertbottom would be the name of my Bond boy. Anyway, yes, run Sandra, run! I really don’t get what’s supposed to be so handsome about him. He looks like a plastic version of Chris Cornell…
It is Pussy Galore but Busty Galore sounds like her little sister LOLLL. I vote shady – the pix started it and now his dating history of a 20 year old Come on ….
She still does things old-school, like Clooney. It’s all she knows. But this crazy publicity dump is very corny and desperate.
Yeah this is really lame. And shady. I guess Sandy didn’t want us to forget about her for some reason.
Yeah, she doesn’t need to “sell” her boyfriend to the public. Just date him and the public will catch on. But trying to control the narrative reeks.
But she did kind of sell him to the media I mean she ran to a tabloid magazine to announce that dating a Hot photographer out of nowhere. No one was paying attention to her dating life at that time and there were no pictures of them so why announce it that way unless your trying to sell something or are looking for attention.
Yes! My first thought was Sandy is doing the same thing as Clooney’s sell-hard with Amal. If this guy is so great, why grind the PR machine???
I’ve said that before but as usual with America’s darlings, no one believes such words: Sandra has always been and will be known in the field as someone who will do anything for publicity. Sorry but that’s how we know her. The Dragon being her PR doesn’t help (not that Sandra wants it otherwise!).
Sandra Bullock who hid her entire adoption in the middle of an Oscar run? Who never released photos of her ill-fated wedding to Jesse James? Who would barely even acknowledge that she was dating someone? Who keeps her charitable donations as anonymous as possible? I’m not assuming that she’s in any way America’s Sweetheart (as no grown woman should be in the first place) and for any actress to survive and thrive in Hollywood for decades she’d better be tough as nails, but the evidence simply doesn’t back up your claim, no matter if you preface it by saying ‘those of us in the biz know the real scoop’
I’d hire Huvane too if given the chance. He may be odious, but he’s the best.
is that a new trend? men dumping women for older women? at least he is not a ping pong grifter.
oh lord he sounds shady. the “GOOD GUY SUPER HANDSOME AND HOT BUT ALSO GOOD” PR spin from the start was a good hint.
He likes $andra’$ per$onality more.
LOL!
She needs a Stedman like Oprah.
I’ll never forget the Oprah special where she was ordering Stedman around in front of the camera all while he was wearing daisy Duke tennis shorts. Magic!
He screams “gold digger”.
Ummm congrats I guess?
It’s a little sketchy that he seems to suddenly be trying to get famous, and was dating someone so young, but if his ex’s family is saying no overlap and he’s a nice guy, I don’t have a problem believing that. Just because they met a while back doesn’t mean anything started with them immediately.
I remember thinking the same thing when her relationship with Jesse ended. How can you not know your partner is a racist and how much of that do you share with him or at the very least tolerate and accept?
The irony was her winning the oscar that same year for Blindside or whatever that white women’s burden/saviour movie was.
Who is her Nazi sympathizer friend? I feel sorry for her son.
That is a pretty big leap to make on flimsy logic. Partner’s hide things from their spouses all the time – affairs, debt, addictions.
Unless the ex-girlfriend’s mother is some kind of famewhore like Dina Lohan, I think we have to take her at her word that he is a decent guy, despite the age difference. No one would be forcing her to say complimentary things about her daughter’s older ex-boyfriend.
If we are going to be side eyeing people for their previous partners, I’d think that being married to a racist, Nazi lover and allegedly not knowing about that side of your partner despite living with them for years is more of a red flag than someone that dated an adult that just happens to be younger then them. I’m just saying.
Anyway, he does seem to be milking this but I doubt that he’d be able to get People mag to go ahead with his roll out if Sandra wasn’t giving them the okay. So, yes this all looks shady, but she looks just as shady as he does.
Yep having been married to a nazi and also have a close friendship with a known racist – says all that needs to be said about Sandra.
Who is the racist friend?
Chelsea Handler. Any story about Sandra,Reese or Charlize ,”vile known racist” Chelsea is brought up.
Sandra Bullock is widely regarded as one of the nicest, most generous people in Hollywood. To imply that she’s a Nazi sympathizer because she was married to an a-hole is pretty flimsy logic. Sometimes nice people end up married to $!#tbags.
I distinctly remember reading about Louis’ Bris so. So I’m going to vote no to sympathizing with Nazis
Shhhhh that’s not what this PR campaign is about!
Yes to all this! I side-eye the age difference but Sandra is still shady as hell.
Hmmm … Good point. But even still, 49-year-old with 23-year-old = pretty gross and inexcusable. Their past partners probably indicate that they’re both shady. She has a whiff of white supremacist about her, and he that whiff of pervert.
@Maya, Kate – uh, so is her beautiful black little son a cover-up for her “racist” and “white supremacist” tendencies?
@DestinationUnknown: If I was on Family Feud, I’d be jumping up and down screaming Good Answer, Good Answer!
@ DestinationUnknown
Maya said that she is close friends with a racist and she is. I don’t know if Sardra is or not maybe she just doesn’t mind being friends with a racist.
Having a black child or dating someone who is black doesn’t mean you can not be a racist. Look at those Duck Dynasty people they are racist and one of them adopted a black child. Look at Kid Rock he’s a racist and yet he has a child with a black women.
How do you feel about a 38 year old with a 22 year old? Because those were the ages of Sandra and Ryan Gosling when they dated, so by your definition I guess she’s got a touch of the pervert in her too. Kindred spirits.
@Neah23: You can add Strom Thurmond in there too.
Who is her Nazi friend? For a second, I thought of Tila Tequila. And laughed.
ETA: ah, are you referring to Chelsea Whatshername?
@Neah23 I guess I just can’t wrap my head around someone being a racist and having a black son/daughter or even dating someone who is black. How does that work or even make sense?
@ DestinationUnknown
Check out this link it may help you understand better, the author of the post talks about Gray racism.
http://allvalid.com/all/yes-you-can-be-racist-if-youre-dating-a-black-person-drop-that-excuse/
@ Kai
The Nazi will be Sandras ex Jessse James and the racist is Chelsea H.
@ Neah23 ok, so I read the article and this is what got me to truly understand: “It’s common for some heterosexual men to remain misogynists after marrying women that they love” That drove the concept home because I do know men like that. Disgusting. Humans are truly a messed up lot.
Oh no, you dare to question precious Sandy’s reign as America’s Favorite Girl Next Door Who’s Been Wounded and Needs Protecting!
Never mind she’s 51, has a history of inconsistent-to-awful relationships and is perfectly capable of making her own decisions. She hasn’t survived (thrived, even) in Hollywood this long without being pretty cutthroat herself.
She has such great taste in men.
Sarcasm tastes so good with coffee in the morning.
Lol didn’t say I few months ago that all of Chelsea Handler’s friends are not the sweet image they portray and they get exposed eventually one by one? Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron? I specially said that Sandra will be the next one to be exposed.
Now here we are with Sandra dating another Jesse James look alike and also seems that Sandra started dating him while he was in another relationship.
lol I’m waiting for the moment she gets exposed.
Exposed as what? Being bland? The most interesting thing about Sandra Bullock are the men she dates and little Louis.
Ummm, how has Jennifer Aniston been exposed?
Charlize was never considered a sweet girl. She’s always been fierce and independent.
Charlize is amazing. She lost points for dating Sean Penn I guess, but who cares. She also dated Seth MacFarlane, and who cares to that too. I didn’t realize Aniston and Reese were portrayed as sweet and exposed….for what? Reese got pulled over for drinking, what a harlet, and don’t know what Jennifer did…but I do know she doesn’t like her life exposed….who else gets married on a Wednesday in August and the paps don’t know about it….especially her who they follow like a hawk. I guess it’s all in who you like or dislike.
@ Nancy
Both Reese and Aniston had that Girl Next store “good girl” image and profited off it for years, that image has fallen away. Reese even tried to further her separation from her “good girl” image during her Oscar campaign. Julia Roberts is another one who lost their “good Girl” Image.
Look at Taylor and her “Good girl” image it has started to show cracks and people are starting to see her passive aggressive personally show through. That doesn’t mean everyone hates her, just that they are not buy what she selling.
Who do you think tip off TMZ that something was going down at Jens house and to get aerial shots. one guess it’s coming from inside the house.😂😂😂
@ meme
I agree Charlize was never considered a sweet girl or had that girl next store image.
Neah23: I guess a lot of the starlets are called America’s Sweetheart until they reach a certain age. Julia, Jennifer and Sandra are all either 50 or close to it…they are more like America’s Sweethearts aunt from Nebraska. Now Taylor is a different story….I think she relishes the good girl image but my lands, the girl has been with and wrote songs about a score of different men she had romantic dalliances with. I think moms like the kitties and silly things she does in public, but behind closed doors Ms. Taylor is getting some action. She can still milk off the good girl image though…..for a bit longer. There’s always somebody right behind you to take the title away.
Julia Lost her “Good Girl” image a long time ago and from what I’ve seen the other seem to have lost the image more from their actions then age. Didn’t they all relishes in that image.
Love the America’s Sweethearts aunt from Nebraska😂😂😂
Papa did know about Aniston’s wedding! There are photos of the whole setup, someone tipped them off.
It is also not a private wedding when the press learns about it hours later, and when you give your guests free range to tell about the wedding while pretending it was so private. It is also not private when the paps know where your honeymoon will be.
So let me get this straight: adult women in Hollywood aren’t all sugar and spice and everything nice? That’s fine that you don’t like Chelsea Handler, though personally I think she just says stupid stuff to intentionally try to shock people and call that humor. But what’s your point exactly? That Sandra’s a horrible person because her last boyfriend broke up with someone else to be with her?
And you also realize that by this logic Keanu Reeves, Melissa McCarthy, Matthew McConoghay (didn’t spell that right, too lazy to google) are all shady people that you dislike as well as they’re pretty tight with Sandra?
Thank you Bridget.
Wow… unbelievable on so many levels.
Where do I start? Society has a hard time accepting woman as real people with flaws that images are often created for women as being these perfect women who don’t drink, swear, fight, have sex with multiple partners or say questionable stuff. Chelsea Handler fancies herself a comedian, so most of what she says and does is for shock value. Does it offend? Yes, it does and who knows, maybe she is a racist. Most comedians go for the laugh and worry about the offense later. My problem with Chelsea Handler is she is not funny.
Judging every person that is friends with Chelsea Handler is problematic. It is possible to date jerks and be friends with offensive people (or racist) and not be one yourself. Shocking, I know! It is possible to hide things from your friends and spouses, too. I’d like some instances where Sandra Bullock, herself, has said something questionable.. not her friends, not her ex husband.. her. What has she done, herself, that makes her a target on these websites? She dated a younger guy? She married Jesse James?
Somehow it’s impossible to just say that someone or something isn’t your cup of tea – instead, folks have to justify it by saying that they’re a horrible person as well. It’s fine if folks don’t like Sandra Bullock, after all different people like different things. But I just dislike that the biggest pieces of evidence that she must be terrible are that Jesse James is awful, she’s German, and she’s friends with Chelsea Handler. Everything else is just conjecture along the lines of “How could she knot have known he was a racist? She must have known and she must be a racist too” and so on and so forth. But many, many spouses will tell you: it is entirely possible for your spouse to hide things. It happens with celebrities, it happens with normal people. I’m not even a particularly big fan of Sandra Bullock, but the sheer ridiculousness of this is driving me crazy.
Sandra’s mom is from germany, and they are jewish. I think.
Agree with Tammy and Bridget.
Didn’t she meet Jesse when she took her nephew to his garage because the kid loved JJ’s tv show? Just wondering. Not wondering that this guy just seems like hmmm, I don’t know.
If he starts wearing black skinny jeans and he and Sandra start vacationing in Cabo the last ring of hell will be complete.
Love it!
BOOM!
Did you see the jeans he is wearing in the pap photos? I don’t think they’ll ever make it to that exclusive last ring of hell. Budget Hell never gives up its dead.
*splutter*
Randall is trying to make Randall happen. It’s like Sandra and Halle fight for the same guys.
Yes! I was just thinking that. Also, Sandra looks a little angrier than she did before the JJ craziness. She just looks angry and very guarded even when her face is resting, but also totally understandable given how she got burned.
I’m guessing it’s him as well – Sandra has always kept her relationships under wraps as much as possible. She tends to keep her personal life pretty quiet aside from a few bits here and there.
I never understand why the love interest of certain startlets get a PR push, Its very weird. They could of just left the story at she met someone but going on and on about this person is just so forced. Perhaps they’ve become serious and its a buildup to him making public appearances with her soon but it always seems so over the top when this happens. SB seems like a nice person so I just hope she’s has her eyes open.
Because it’s bad for their careers if they are viewed as old spinsters. They must remain forever hot and desirable in order to work.
No matter how handsome he is, this is super sketchy. I would never trust him.
Why is this mother of the ex girlfriend so chatty? Your daughter was dating someone as old as her father, no kidding she wasn’t ready to settle down. Am I the only one who finds this strange? Maybe he should date Mia. She really seems to like him ALOT!
Sandra’s people probably wanted to kill any potential story about her being the other woman since there was a good case that there may have been some overlapping of the relationships. Plus, good girl Sandy probably wants ever one to know this guy is in no way or shape anything like her bad boy ex Jesse. It’s all PR.
Sounds like former girlfriend’s mom is getting paid from two sources: tabloids and Sandra/boyfriend.
The pic of him smoking is such a turnoff for me. I bet his mouth tastes like an ashtray.
From the nature of her comments, it sounds as if the girl’s mother had a bit of a crush… and/or that he was careful to woo her, too.
Meh. If she likes it, I love it.
As someone pointed out she was married to a nazi lover, dating a 50 years old guy who was involved with a 20 something girl is an upgrade.
Did something weird happen on the Gravity set to skew the stars’ inner radars for fame seekers?
I guess she’s old enough and, so far, he’s only done one VERY obvious doorway moment for the paps. He is a model and photographer afterall. Maybe the dual skills mean he’s always in pose mode AND knows his best angles from behind the camera too. The hat though… Hmmm.
If there’s too much of that, more ‘family/friends’ “bestests everything of everything”, and he starts shilling product with Sandra’s ok… then we have Clooney playbook 2.0.
At least he is Showbiz Hollywood, kinda.
Still, shady start and I’d hope better for Sandra if he’s a guy on the make. Also never got the impression she needed the ‘in a relationship’ boost right now; her career and life seemed settled. Face value for now, they’re in-like.
PS – more worried, personally, that CB is addictive. Never expected that.
I don’t think anyone with any Hollywood success is going to be able to avoid fame seekers. Look at Alec Baldwin. Some “yoga instructor.”
There must be a reason Sandra wants this out in the open. I wonder if there’s something she’s trying to divert attention from.
Well, she has the movie Our Brand is Crisis coming out soon, so that could be the reason.
It was tragic what happened to Mia and Kristof’s son and they were and are still devastated, and I get why they are suing the facility. They loved their son a lot, as did their daughter, who adored her brother after looking at her twitter. So I think his support at a really tragic time for the family probably will never be forgotten by Mia.
I still think he is capitalizing on this Sandra Bullock connection and letting “friends” talk to these magazines, plus that doorway photo. Sandra always kept her dating life private, so it certainly isn’t her getting all of this out there. And I can’t imagine at 20 any guy 46 having anything in common with me and would find it creepy him being interested in me.
But do you really think mags like People and Us Weekly that regularly work with stars’ publicists would go over Sandra’s head and publish these stories/pictures about her new man without her blessing? I highly doubt that.
What exactly do you think is happening, though? That People is calling Sandra’s publicist and asking permission? There’s a difference between being celebrity-friendly and celebrity-controlled, and it’s not exactly particularly salacious content.
She has terrible taste in guys. It’s her flaw. Everybody has one.
My friend is that way. She’s beautiful, an impressive career, so many varied interests, athletic, and she ends up with sketchy guys in some of their behavior that I can see from a mile away with their shady stories, and she glosses over the truth and doesn’t see it or tries to make excuses.
I agree, Nicole – I’ve always thought of her as a smart cookie in everything except her choice of male companions.
This.
I have terrible taste in men too. I always have. So do most of my friends. I guess we’re all flawed up to the hilt.
She likes the bad boys.
That’s my conclusion as well.
Naw. You’re only allowed that title if you date Sean Penn.
I really hope Sandy is gay and this douche as well as JJ were only beards. Her shitty taste in men is otherwise inexplicable.
She and JLO need to either start a club or a support group. They have the worst taste in me. I hope this is just a hookup, but all of this sudden press for him…I hope she doesn’t marry him.
Add Halle to that support group, please.
This 51-year-old woman looks like she’s still in her twenties so I dont think age matters. Sandra has taken really good care of herself and looks amazing. However, this guy is totally taking advantage of this budding relationship by all these self-promotion. Looks suspicious indeed.
Sandra looks good but she does not look like she in her 20’s and she had work done. She was hitting the toix rally hard for awhile, but she seems to have eased off of it lately.
20’s?? I think she looks good for her age, but also quite stiff.
Her face looks like it is painful to move. It looks pumped full of botox.
Yeah … Nope. That 23-year-old girlfriend stuff alone says enough about his character. Add the fact that he’s already exploiting his connection to Sandra Bullock … Yeah, he’s gross.
1,000% agree. Run Sandra.
I don’t find him attractive in the least. He looks skeevy and trashy to me. No, Sandra!
I don’t think he’s good-looking either.
I guess she likes bad-looking bad boys. Weird.
I love bad boys but I don’t find him attractive at all.
I used to watch the former GF’s father on a soap opera in the early 1990s. Took the snark right out of me to realize he has a 23 yo daughter.
I will say that the guy being a photographer is probably a good way to make connections. Obviously it worked for him!
Why is there this big pr push for him?
I know, right??
if it’s for fun, I say go for it. He’s hot. However, I hope her heart isn’t involved because that is NOT going to last.
Structurally, this Randall guy’s face isn’t all that different from Jesse’s. Got weird vibes from the photo of Randall smoking in his front door ….. who does that?
The PR here reminds me of that random guy Scarlett Johannson was dating right before she got with the guy she just married.
Posers do that.
I’m suspicious because all this emphasis on how “hot” and “ridiculously good looking” he is.Based on the recent pics,I don’t find him good looking and he looks” thirsty” standing in that doorway while the paparazzi takes his picture.Good Luck,Sandy
Unfortunately he has probably bonded with Louis.
Right? As if “hot” and “ridiculously good looking” men are in short supply in LA or something.
Wow – who cares that he dated a younger woman? Sandra was 16 years older than Ryan Gosling when they dated…
Randall can be made to look “ridiculously good-looking” (he looks good in his modeling shots) but he’s not in the same league as Gabriel Aubry.
^^^ !!!!!
no one is – that guy is painfully fine
I know I’ll probably catch heat for this, but I think Sandra is shady as hell and nothing can make me change my mind. I don’t believe for a second that you can be married to a white supremacist and not know anything about it; even if he hid his nazi memorabilia certain opinions come across in everything this person says or does. She’s friend with Chelsea Handler who’s known to be a racist piece of work. Relationships and friendships say a lot about a person’s character.
I might be wrong but I feel for her son.
Fifty-one in Hollywood, no matter how beautiful, the pickings are still slim in the dating pool, even where to run into single men of an appropriate age is hard for actresses, as the ones that are single are dating much, much younger women. It’s hard for women in general at a certain age because the available single men pool is so much smaller and also where do you meet them? My friend in her 40s was on a dating website and said so many are losers once you meet them or oddballs or terribly cheap.
Maybe this guy really went after her and she is attracted to him and so she loves how he makes her feel, I guess, after not dating for a while.
I’ve always thought Andy McDowell is so naturally beautiful and looks much younger than her age, and she has talked about how hard it is trying to date in her 50s. I don’t even think she has for years.
^This.
Yeah, I’m in my late-30’s, frequently mistaken for being much younger, and I’m having a terrible time of it trying to date. The only available men are either immature commitment-phobes, losers with no jobs or education, divorced with five kids, or just otherwise incompatible. Which probably sounds harsh, but there it is. I’m not looking forward to trying to do this when I’m older and have kind of given up 🙁
He seems skeevy and sketchy to me and not because he dated a young 20 something. Then again I feel the same way about Sandra ever since the scandal broke on that racist prick she was married to. So maybe this guy is right up her alley and her type.
It still amazes me about the uproar some women can still have when older men date younger women. But when it’s an older woman dating a younger man (even if it’s just speculation like with Susan Sarandon and Jake Gyllenhaal) a lot of women will celebrate and give best wishes for the couple. I wonder why that is? I would think at this point in time, most women wouldn’t care about men dating 20 year olds and are probably open to dating younger men themselves. I guess I figured we should be over any “uproar” or “angst” concerning this by now.
I think there’s a big difference in him dating someone in their mid-twenties up, like 26, 27, 28 etc, than a man at 46 dating a 20-year-old. Twenty is a baby, just out of their teens. And he was 46, 47. Even my jump in maturity from 20 to 25 was huge. So, yes, a big side-eye to him. It doesn’t make him a bad person and I can see being physically attracted to the girl. But it was an almost three-year relationship. I just would be very wary at 51 falling for a guy who was into someone that young at his age.
There’s an uproar because it is so typical for a man to date a younger woman. It is expected. Women get the short end of the stick once get turn 35+. So we celebrate seeing older women with younger men because it RARELY happens and it helps to reduce the stigma of women becoming disposable with age. I am 23 an I already worry that one day I will be upgraded for a younger model. So I celebrate when women aren’t seen as throwaway toys. 🙂
Uh oh. Here we go again…Sandy picking the wrong guy. What about a nice stable suit, Sandy?
This isn’t the first time Sandra broke up at relationship. Back in the early 00s, when she lived in Austin, she started dating a local musician that had a live-in girlfriend of many years. He dumped her for Sandra and then dumped his band for a bit to go solo. So in Austin she was considered Yoko. This is why I didn’t have too much sympathy for her when her husband cheated on her.
So a guy dumps a girlfriend for another girlfriend? It happens all the time or vice versa. He wasn’t married and he met someone else he liked. People move in together at barely a blink anymore, barely having dated for long. It is not a marital commitment, even if living together for several years, and ends like many dating relationships.
Most people who meet someone are probably dating, involved with someone else and it runs its course and they meet and thus move on to someone they are more interested in. It happens all the time. And most people don’t leave dating relationships that are in a great space. The troubles and ups and downs and backs and forths having been going on for a while because one person is falling out of love with the other one. I consider that far different than being married or living together for say ten years.
But even if that band guy lived with the girlfriend for a long time and he met someone he fell for and left the girlfriend, how is that Sandy’s fault? The guy obviously didn’t love the girlfriend in a forever kind of way. Unless she had a clandestine affair with him for months while he was still living with the girlfriend, I don’t see any blame on her. He met someone he liked and broke up with his live-in girlfriend. He’s the one that left his relationship.
No, she isn’t “considered a Yoko” in Austin. She is insanely popular in Austin. My family, friends, and former coworkers come from all walks of life and everytime Sandy is mentioned the unanimous consensus is Sandy is cool.
Conversely, Bob Schneider is universely considered a douche.
Yeah, bands breaking up or someone going off on their own, new bandmates coming, other ones leaving, say what? It never happens. It must be Sandra’s fault her boyfriend left.
Hmm not everyone in Austin likes her and at the time (which was like 10 years ago) his band The Scabs ones a local fav so a lot of people were pissed when he went out on his own and Sandra was trying to get his music played by Hollywood. I’m not saying it is all her fault these guys cheated on their girlfriends but people try to paint her as this poor victim when she has also messed around with people in long-term committed relationships.
You know what’s not a total cliche? Frontman gets too big for his britches and decides to ditch his bandmates and go solo. Oh wait…
But yeah, totally Sandra’s fault there.
ETA: It cracks me up just a little bit to say that she’s considered “something of a Yoko in Austin” because of the way that equates Bob Schneider with John Lennon. I’m assuming you’re a huge Schneider fan?
I never liked Bob’s music (saw him twice live) and I didn’t consider Sandra Yoko I was simply saying that it was the opinion of a lot of people in Austin at the time. I never said it was all Sandra’s fault but I don’t consider her America’s sweetheart either. Personally, I have never dated any man that was already involved, just not something i would do. Doesn’t matter if he just had a girlfriend.
It’s OK for America’s Sweethearts like Aniston and Sandra to date men who are living with long term girlfriends.Didn’t you know that @BRE?
She is a lot like Aniston!
I didn’t say Jennifer Aniston. Justin was with a very long-term girlfriend. But more importantly, Jen cheated with Justin for months while he was living with his girlfriend, even moved to New York many, many months before the breakup to facilitate that. That’s a whole different story because major cheating was involved.
Who says Sandra was involved with him while he lived with a long-term girlfriend? If he left her because he wanted to pursue a relationship with Sandra, so obviously wasn’t deeply in love anymore or committed anymore, how is that something evil on her part?
Actually Sandra’s situation at the time was very similar. Bob Schneider was engaged and living with his girlfriend when he started up with Sandra.
@BRE, he and Sandra only dated a couple of years, and he married someone else and divorced when their child was only a few months old. He said he was very disappointed in himself, but sounds like a good father to his four-year-old. He has never married since.
He doesn’t sound like the devoted type to me to any woman and moves on. And, again, people blaming a woman for a man leaving a band is crazy, but that’s what fans will do. His interviews show he is a solo artist in his heart and soul and what he ultimately wanted and is successful at. Many singer/songwriters feel that way that start out in bands.
Edit: His child is nine, not four.
I’m giving Sandra and Robin Wright the same side-eye. If you keep choosing to date losers or bad boys, you can’t keep getting surprised when you get the same result.
Good for her. I don’t think she is a fool. She is having fun with a hot guy who is probably great in bed ( keeper?) that probably adores her and he found himself an A lister that still looks hot. I think they both know what they are doing. I mean why would he stay with a basic younger girl if he can score an A lister that’s older, but still looks good and is well accomplished. Why does it have to be such a big deal.It just seems like they are two adults that are having fun. Everyone wins
I guess he wanted to marry Paris St. John.
“The two split because he wanted ‘marriage and kids, but Paris was not ready yet.”
Okay. This does sound like a nice guy doing this.
“Bryan saw good in my son,’ Mia told UsWeekly.
‘He did so much for my son and my program…Bryan was one of our mentors; he would volunteer, drive two hours every week from L.A. to Palm Springs, just to work with these guys for free in honor of my son. He donated his time to the foundation for six months or so.”
So Sandra is dating a famewhore?! This kind of thirst is positively Kardashian.
I really truly don’t believe SB knew anything about her ex husbands racism/psychopathy. I do think the guy was a womanizing psychopath who had perfected a persona that could fool just about anyone. He was a bad bad dude and IMO SB was used and tossed aside when he got bored and started having affairs. Her radar for bad men is off. It’s an affliction a lot of us have, unfortunately :(. I bet this guy is bad news too. She is older and in an environment that doesn’t tolerate that at all. It’s bad enough as a normal person, I would hate to be n Hollywood. This makes her vulnerable IMO and this guy is taking advantage for his career/money/attention
That shirtless smoking in the doorway thing is ridiculous and transparent. I mean, come on. Jesse hid his sh*t better than this guy.
She has really bad taste in men. She likes the bad boys.
Heaven help us. Now the photographer’s brother is giving interviews. What a mess. He’s a badass for dating Sandra? How old is this brother truly? He doesn’t sound 44. Why are these people giving interviews about a guy Sandra has only dated a few months? The brother wants in on the spotlight because how did they get his photo? And it’s like he is high-fiving his brother like he just won the lottery.
“Sandra Bullock’s new boyfriend is a ‘badass’ for dating the Hollywood beauty, his proud brother tells MailOnline.
Confirming the actress’ romance with photographer Bryan Randall for the first time Kevin Randall, 44, said: ‘He’s in some good shoes right now and I encourage him.’
Speaking exclusively from his home in Troutdale, Oregon, Kevin was overjoyed for his older brother, saying: ‘He’s a badass. It’s his life right now and all I can do is support him.”

I hope Sandra’s publicist shows her that article. Maybe she’ll get out when the gettin’s good.
I saw those photos of him posing for the paps by the window or door of his apartment and thought they were really strategic too.
this is so weird.
Jeez, everyone had just decided that this guy must be a douche and bastard! It’s too early to judge. Just b/c Sandra got burnt in her previous relationship doesn’t mean she can’t pick a good man or this one is an ahole. We don’t know much about him. Give it time people.
Is he her ”beard”?
Yes. I hate it that they think we’re so dumb that we can’t figure out she’s gay and every time there’s a new movie there’s a new or rekindled romance. Why she doens’t come out as gay is her own business but this charade is as tired as George Clooney’s was. And I’m a fan of Sandra.
That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard.
Is everybody in Hollywood gay? In some peoples’ minds, I guess. And, so what?
My point was they roll out a boyfriend or girlfriend every time there’s a new project. This is done with almost all celebrities, especially single ones. For the married ones, relationships issues are fabricated and/or made worse for the sake of publicity.
I did say that her sexuality is her own business. And I’m sure that my comment is far from the silliest thing you’ve ever heard.
So gross when middle aged men date girls barely out of highschool. I’m only 23 and this grosses me out. It just makes me lose faith in men and believe they’re just not worth it at all if this is how it ends. I don’t mind age differences – but I hate that society ingrains this into our minds. Older men must be with young women because “biotruth” crap. Also a grown man dating someone only a few years out of high school is just a nope and a huge red flag for Sandra. Over hollywood and its ageism. I pretty much boycott any movie that promotes older men (40+) with women under the age of 25. Just nope. RUN SANDRA RUN!
Lainey posted an instagram of Paris and Bryan. She’s hot and young. He looks so much older than her. They seemed in love three and a half months ago. I think she dumped him because she didn’t want to settle down. And I think this guy never grew up and why they fit. Paris is giving me Halle Berry vibes in this video.
