How Sandra Bullock found happiness with her 'great guy' Bryan Randall http://t.co/WGBVNddcCN pic.twitter.com/YuCM7h1Du8
— People magazine (@people) September 1, 2015
A couple of weeks ago, we heard that Sandra Bullock had a new boyfriend, a guy who was described as “a very attractive photographer.” Sandra took him with her to Jennifer Aniston’s wedding and while we didn’t learn his identity at the time, sources told People that he was “super hot but also super normal.” As Kaiser mentioned, it’s rare for Sandra to be at all open about her personal life after her debacle with Jesse James, so it probably took some consideration for her to bring her new man with her to Aniston’s party (guests didn’t know it would be a wedding at first) and then to a popular Hollywood restaurant. Now People has a follow-up, and other outlets have also revealed his identity. He’s a photographer and male model named Bryan Randall, 49, he’s incredibly attractive and he previously dated a woman who was just 23 years old. Uh-oh. Here’s People’s coverage:
In the new issue of PEOPLE, sources reveal more details about the star’s new romance with L.A.-based model-turned-photographer Bryan Randall.
The pair were spotted getting cozy last week at Craig’s, a West Hollywood restaurant.
“He had his arm around her the entire meal,” a fellow diner told PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “He was rubbing her arm, kissing her shoulder and at one point they cuddled up closer to look at something on her phone.”‘
The two managed to keep their relationship private for several months. But after Bullock, 51, began introducing Randall, 49, to some of her close friends – including Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux – at a July 4 party at her home in Austin, Texas, it was clear things were starting to heat up.
A month later, Bullock took Randall – who previously dated the daughter of actor Kristoff St. John, Paris, 23, – to Aniston and Theroux’s secret wedding as her plus-one, where “wedding guests commented on how happy she looked,” a source told PEOPLE.
“He’s a great guy,” a source close to Randall’s family told PEOPLE.
It appears the twosome have several things in common. Like Bullock, who dotes on her 5-year-old son, Louis, Randall is a proud parent – of a college-aged daughter – and comes from a close-knit family.
“His parents are amazing people,” said the source. “Everyone is really proud of him for being a talented photographer and model and thinks it’s great he’s dating [Bullock].”
People goes on to say that these two are “enjoying the next steps of their relationship.” So it seems like they’re serious enough for Bullock to let the press know who he is. The detail about him dating a 23 year-old woman is somewhat of a red flag for me. He dated a woman who was definitely young enough to be his daughter, considering that her father, Kristoff St. John, is exactly Randall’s age. Bullock has no douche detector so I worry about her. Hopefully I’m wrong and this guy is as decent as the press claims he is.
Radar Online has some photos of Randall, shirtless, hanging out in a doorway and smoking a cigarette. I don’t think I could date a smoker but some guys are stealthy about it and don’t stink. I would rather date a smoker than a guy who normally dates women over 20 years younger than me, but maybe that was a fluke.
US Magazine has many of the same insider quotes from People along with a photoshoot that Randall did in 2011. Yeah I can see how Bullock went for this guy.

he is like a hot version of her ex-husband ( tattoo,motorbike…)
Love Sandy, best of luck to her, hope he treats her well.
He’s hot but my “douche” radar is pinging
Yeah something about him doesn’t feel right.
He looks thirsty in that “casual” lean against the doorframe. Amazing that men can continue to model until they are approaching 50.
Those doorway pics are a real turnoff. Watch out, Sandra, you can do better.
I may be a snob, but how can you say ” i am a male model” with your face straight
…with an Intense Smoldering Stare, Luna….and No sense of self awareness
Yep, I’m with the crowd on this one — the doorway pics seem very thirsty. And I think he’s all waxed, and I’m not sure how I feel about that.
What gives me pause is the obvious bronzer on his face.
I think he’s too good looking and perhaps full of himself….
There is a blind about him/them already and they are saying exactly that: he is a better looking version of Jesse James. He doesn’t play by the rules and does what he wants and is wild. I hope she’s being careful. He’s in her son’s life now.
the way they try to sell him all alarm bells go off.
Yeah. Why are they pushing him so hard? I’m getting ScarJo/ Nate Naylor feelings from this. What next a “25 things you didn’t know about Sandra’s boyfriend”? Plus, isn’t she normally private about her love life, so what’s with this roll out? Something in the milk ain’t clean.
Yes! ScarJo’s Nate, “the most beautiful man in the world”, is all I’m getting from this. If it’s from Bullock’s camp it’s disappointing. She seemed above all this unnecessary PR crap.
+1 this
His jeans hang so low in that shirtless photo where he is smoking I swear I can see his pubes. He is hot!
Yep, yep he is.
She has always pinged my gaydar. She’s been so fiercely private about her personal life and is spilling her new found love? Sketchy
Sandra had a long relationship with Ryan Goseling. I think he considers her one of his great loves. She was involved with Matthew McConaghuey. She was married for years.
Who says she’s spilling the info? More like he is.
And if she was so private with her long relationships, that goes the opposite of gay. Those in the closet play up their relationships for the public because they want to come off as hetero. So being private in her dating relationships was the opposite of that.
And she was never private about her love for Jesse and their marriage while with him.
Thank you Jayna. Sandra Bullock is a class act and it annoys me no end when people make such silly and unfounded accusations.
Before all that she was engaged to Tate Donovan who was also engaged to Jennifer Aniston during her Friends day. Yeah I’m really old. I remember this.
He’s hot, but man that pic is staged as hell. I don’t buy that they just HAPPENED to catch him shirtless, smoking, and standing in his doorway.
oh just saw those pictures: i agree. staged as hell. from the first second we heard about him he was sold as “the hot guy” and then those pictures. how dumb do they think we are?
Shirtless, smoking in the doorway and wearing a black hat–not staged at all.
He’s much more attractive to me in his portfolio photos. He’s 6’3′, suit size 42L.

Yeah he looks way better as a preppy guy than a biker and I wonder how old those shots are cause he looks significantly older in the pap shots. Some men are such bastards-he actually looks way hotter in his 40s than his 20s model shots. In his 20ish shots he looks like a cheesy member of that 90s group who sang “I wanna sex you up.”
I looked up his older pictures and wow! I disagree, he used to be ridiculously hot.

Yeah and why are there no lights on his apartment? lol
Thirsty as hell.
Ding ding ding! I hope Sandra’s bells went off when she saw those pics of him in the doorway. That was absolutely stage. I am getting a huge attention whore douchebag vibe after seeing that. BEYOND TACKY.
I just hope Sandra isn’t dumb enough to marry this guy! He’s pretty hot, but a guy who goes from a 20 year old, to a 51 year old women, kinda makes me give him the stank eye!
I was going to say, who knew Sandra and Anniston were friends, but then I remembered the whole gross Chelsea Handler connection….
Wasn’t Ryan Gosling like 21 when he started dating Sandra? Who was in her mid-30s at the time if I recall correctly….
@ Malificent: Sure. But in your mid-thirties you can’t be the mom of a 21 years old… well except if you have a daughter called honey boo boo… but still… BIG difference !
49/ 23 is quite different than 34/21 …
I guess I don’t draw a line in the sand at young enough to be one’s child. I think the difference between early 20s and mid-30s is almost as vast as early 20s to 40s.
Have a feeling this will one day be a discussion topic for “When Smart Women Make Dumb Relationship Choices”
Yes. This won’t end well.
Plus, his photo on this page pings my gaydar… I’m expecting to hear “oh, snap” at any moment.
Exactly. Male escort, gay for pay. She can do better than this.
Me, too!
Perfectly worded.
After seeing all of the DM photos of him at his apartment it says, hanging out in the doorway with his shirt off and smoking and talking on the phone, all I could think of was low rent. It looked like those kind of apartment complexes with types in it you wanted to avoid. It could be the wrong impression, but it’s the one the photos left me with.
Some smart women make poor choices with men. I hope this isn’t another Jesse, because she saw what she wanted to see with him, not what he was.
He’s 49 and was dating a 23-year-old and is now with a 51-year-old. Sandra is young at heart and smart and beautiful, but if he has a pattern with and an eye for much younger women, none of that will matter long-term as Sandra will only get older year after year and nothing will change that no matter how amazing she looks. I hope he’s a man and not a man-child who never grew up.
And those photos in the doorway looked to me like it was staged also, getting that publicity.
I think since becoming a mom she’s been more careful with her choice in men (at least I hope she has). As long as she’s happy and he’s good to Louis then I’m all for this guy. She definitely deserves it!
But who else has she dated since becoming a mom? Isn’t this guy the first documented one?
Kristoff St John is a man (meaning he’s the girl’s dad, not mom). He plays Neil on the Young and the Restless. Yes I hate that I know this random fact.
Agreed 🙂 Even worse is that I haven’t watched soaps for many years so finding out that he has a 23 yr old daughter had made me feel old this morning, considering that the last time I watched Y & R, Kristoff was the young hot dude on the show and they were constantly finding reasons for him to stand around with his shirt off. 🙂
Ooh I will edit that, thanks!
I have a feeling Sandra likes bad boys and she is a bad girl but keeps her s@it on the low. That big age difference with his last GF is giving me the side eye. I cannot forget about Jessy and his bad boy history. So, he’s going from a woman 26 years his junior to someone about two years his senior, he must be really in love, ha!! Have to say Sandra is looking really good at 50 yo. Hope this works out for her.
You could be right but I agree more with the CB that perhaps Sandra has no Doucher-Radar.
Also this resonates with your post – http://blindgossip.com/?p=73535
If she’s happy I’m happy, I just hope this guy doesn’t turn out to be a jerk. Side note, Kristoff St. John is a man and very attractive in his own right
“He dated a woman who was definitely young enough to be his daughter, considering that her mom, Kristoff St. John, is exactly Randall’s age.”
Kristoff St. John isn’t anybody’s mother. He’s an actor from The Young and the Restless.
I’m sure she is a lot more careful after her experience with her ex and now that she is a mother. I hope they are all happy and healthy.
Got it. I did wiki him but somehow this escaped me. Will edit.
I have done stuff like that too.
I’d have gone to confirm and been all, “Oh…well…maybe I should look at some more pictures to be sure…hmm…what’s this? Shemar plays his brother? Hmmm..maybe I should look some more to see if they resemble each other…” and maybe never gotten around to making the edit!!
She is so pretty with a bit of curl. That flat ironed middle part looks awful on everyone who tries it.
Kristoff St. John lost his son last year to suicide. It is sad. He had issues and he was in a mental health facility when it happened.
How can someone in a mental health facility get away with suicide? Aren’t they closely monitored? I am naive about these facilities though, so someone please educate on this if you can. Genuinely curious how this could happen.
Hmm. I don’t find him all that, especially shirtless. You could fit his head through the eye of a needle. But, if she’s happy… I’m hoping the young girl was just an experiment and he likes being with someone his own age. If he has any brains in that skinny little head.
Does anyone else think he looks a bit like Keanu Reeves?
He should be so lucky.
I can kind of see it. He has a similar nose and face shape to Keanu, but that’s it.
Sandy why have a facsimile when you can get the real thing! Yeah Keanu and Sandra are my dream couple.
Yeah, I’ve been a Keandra ‘shipper for a long time. If I can’t have him, she’s second best.
PS. Today’s KR’s b’day – 51. Happy Birthday, Gorgeous.
The dude in the shirtless cigarette pictures doesn’t look anything like the modeling photo. Are they even the same guy, or did Radar just pap some random schlub and claiming he’s Sandy’s “new man”?
Here PR guy is very good at trying to make the NEW BOYFRIEND happen. I don’t know why they are making such a deal. I’m think it is great she is dating and has found someone. I have said many times that she should and this guy maybe be the right person for her. But other than that why is he making the news.
I can see it too!
Why is this woman friends with vacuous jenny ? Gawd it seems now a days woman are afraid to have friendships with people with nous like ANgie and learn fron them. No wonder the world is going to helll in a hand basket.
I am an Angie fan, but in Jennifer’s defense, none of us actually know her, she could be a nice person. Just like none of us know Bullock either, maybe their personalities work well together.
As for hanging out with Angie, do you ever really see anyone hanging out with her? She seems to be one of those people who hangs out with her family but few others. I can understand that as I am the same way.
He’s hot, sure. But 49 dating 23? No thanks. Tells me all I need to know about him. Ugh.
Can I say Something?? The majority of the Comments he is eliciting ( which Is surely The Entire Opposite he was going for i’m sure!) are K-I-L-L-I-N-G me… it kinda Fondly reminds me of when JT and Jessica Too Pretty for The Movies Biel announced their engagement and we all Laughed so hard at them
Maybe she just wants someone to fool around with..she can afford it
I know what Oda Mae Brown would say: “Sandra, you’re in danger, girl!”
I hope he’s cool. She deserves happiness. I really like her.
I know i’m supposed to think he’s hot but all I get is Sketch City. Or maybe Older gigolo. I think I would have him washed, tested, and the brought to me, but that’s it. Maybe a fling, and then FLING.
Completely agree. I thought his (professional) pics were hot…then I saw the doorway pics and was like WHAT? Ewwwww. Very sketchy looking guy, not unlike her ex JJ or KFed. Surely she would have learned to not go for the bad boy-type after that. Come on, Sandy! We want better for you. Can someone please hook her up with a nice, single, very legit guy like Liam Neeson?
If he was single and the 23 year old was single, and they are two consenting adults…who are we to say anything? I don’t see anyone up in arms or shouting over Sam Taylor Johnson and how she basically preyed on a literal child. Why is that okay but when the roles are reversed it’s not?
I hope you are kidding,every post about Sam has dozens of comments about her getting with an underage boy,him having mommy issues,etc.
Sure, but the vast majority of the people think that Aaron must be so much mature than most young man ( even though he was in his late teens when they met and got together) because he married Sam. He gets labeled with all of these great qualities just because he’s with an older woman. While the vast majority of people infantilizes any woman that dates a guy older than her, even when they aren’t old enough to be her Dad and she’s in her twenties. Plus, the guy is automatically considered a creepy douche even without any evidence except for the fact that he’s dating someone young.
It’s like how celeb men that date models are labeled shallow and the models are always considered dumb. But when a celeb goes with a woman that is considered average, it’s assumed that they are better people than the model daters and their average SO is smarter than said models even without any actual knowledge of what kind of person the average looking woman is.
I think CB commenters shade where shade is due when it comes to the extreme age differences..look at all the comments from yesterday’s Susan Sarandon post. No one is getting away with that shish around here lol
My gaydar has been off the the wall since I first saw his picture. She really has no filters.
I’m still waiting for Sandra and Keanu to get together and fulfill destiny. It would be perfect.
We can see it. they need to hurry up. Time is flying.
And it’s Keanu’s birthday today!
Happy 51st!
He’s good-looking, but why does “someone” keep telling us that? So what if he’s handsome? I’m sure Sandra Bullock could have her pick of handsome men… if she wanted that. Maybe not in the douchepool that is Hollywood and its hangers-on, but if she got out of scene, plenty of beautiful men would fall at her feet. The question is, is this one also into Nazis? The other question is, why does “someone” care so much that we know she’s with a MAN who is HANDSOME?
My gaydar went off when I first laid eyes on him. Thats all I got.
I like Sandra, but is “part trauma” a thing? I think it should be a thing.
