Sandra Bullock is one of THE biggest names in Hollywood- but despite her status, she’s at her happiest when she’s spending time with her growing family.
She and boyfriend Bryan Randall care for Sandra’s two adoptive children, and Sandra’s opened up on just how much they mean to her.
Let’s get the lowdown on Sandra Bullock’s family!
Sandra Bullock Family
Sandra Bullock made no secrets about her desire to adopt over the years. While her journey to motherhood hasn’t exactly been smooth, she’s finally a mother to two gorgeous adoptive kids.
But things were rocky at the beginning, and Hollywood actress was unsure about how the adoption process would work.
Speaking to Parenting in 2018, Sandra Bullock said:
“I did think, ‘Maybe not.’ Then [Hurricane] Katrina happened.
I’m going to cry … Katrina happened in New Orleans and something told me, ‘My child is there.’ It was weird.”

Elvira Kunis: Who is Mila Kunis’ mother?
After making the decision to adopt eldest child Louis, Sandra was absolutely over the moon.
The actress has spoken frequently about her cheeky son- and he even gave his mum a nudge to adopt again…
Daughter Laila
The actress explained that she and a group of her girlfriends were having a cosy chat about their daughters when Louis adorably butted in.
Although he was just three years old at the time, the toddler joked:
“Yeah, I don’t have daughters. But I’m going to have a baby soon!”.
Sandra looks back on this fondly, and said:
“I realized at that time, maybe he knew something. And when I think about it, it would have been around the time that Laila was born.”
Sandra eventually adopted daughter Laila from a Louisiana foster home when she was three, and she quickly became a part of the growing Bullock family.

And it seems that Sandra Bullock absolutely dotes on her adoptive kids.
A source close to the family said:
“Louis and Laila are two of the most polite and well-behaved children I know.
There’s not an ounce of brattiness, what you might expect from Hollywood kids, and that’s because Sandra is nothing but a mom to them”.
While her kids don’t often make appearances on TV or in interviews, Laila ended up making a surprise cameo in Red Table Talk on Facebook Watch.
Mum Sandra was giving thanks to some frontline workers when Laila wanted to show her appreciation too. Bless her.
Laila quipped:
“Hi ladies. Thank you… for doing everything for everyone.”
What an absolute treasure.
Boyfriend Bryan Randall
While the star’s kids have definitely helped Sandra find her calling, her family wouldn’t be complete with Sandra Bullock’s long-term partner Bryan Randall.
Bryan used to work as a model in his younger days, and was lucky enough to be featured in Vogue Paris Magazine. He also had the chance to model for fashion powerhouses such as Saint Laurent and Hugo Boss.

The pair quickly hit things off, and they’ve been together ever since.
According to Closer Weekly, an insider was singing Bryan’s praises for helpful he’s been over the years:
“In their eyes, and their kid’s minds, they’re parents and they’re as settled down as any couple they know.
Their blended families work, it’s pretty effortless, and they owe it all to Sandra opening her heart, and Bryan just being a cool, laid back partner and dad.”
Another said:
“Sandy feels incredibly fortunate and blessed that she is sharing the parenting journey with Bryan.”
