<\/p>\n
There has been major backlash to a US magazine claiming Sandra Bullock and partner Bryan Randall have had a \u2018messy split\u2019 \u2013 despite the issue coming days after the photographer\u2019s death was announced.<\/p>\n
Randall died on August 5 at the age of 57, after a private three-year battle with\u00a0ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).<\/p>\n
It is widely known that Bullock was praised as the \u2018best caretaker\u2019 to Randall during his illness and has been showered with love following news of her long-time partner\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
However, Star magazine has now published its latest edition, complete with Bullock and Randall on the front cover, claiming the pair have split up.<\/p>\n
In it, an anonymous source claims the actress and her partner had relationship issues \u2018for months\u2019 and that they had broken the news to their children.<\/p>\n
The magazine was released on Friday, six days after Randall\u2019s death, and claims there was \u2018heartbreak, jealousy and separate bedrooms\u2019 in the lead-up to the \u2018split\u2019.<\/p>\n
It was claimed that Bullock had not been seen out and about with her partner in a while, and claimed this was because they had \u2018made the difficult decision\u2019 to split up.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The source claimed Randall had been \u2018resentful\u2019 of Bullock\u2019s career, and alleged they had split when Bullock returned to acting after last year announcing she was taking a break.<\/p>\n
In reality, Randall was in the final stages of ALS, also known as Motor Neurone Disease, which affects patient\u2019s muscles leading them to becoming unable to walk, speak, swallow and, eventually, breathe.<\/p>\n
The magazine makes no mention of Randall\u2019s illness or death.<\/p>\n
Fans have been outraged by the publication, with anger rising as the cover began circulating on social media.<\/p>\n
Another horrified onlooker wrote: \u2018What a disaster! How can we be so bad?\u2019 with one writing: \u2018This is AWFUL how\u2019s it been allowed to go to print? \u2026 It\u2019s really really bad.\u2019<\/p>\n
Randall\u2019s death was announced on Monday by his devastated family, who shared \u2018with great sadness\u2019 that he had \u2018passed away peacefully after a three-year battle with ALS.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honour his request,\u2019 they continued to People Magazine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018We 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.<\/p>\n
\u2018At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan.\u2019<\/p>\n
Randall and Bullock have been together since 2015, first meeting when the talented photographer shot her son\u2019s birthday party.<\/p>\n
They went public with their relationship later that year and moved in together in 2016, blending their families: Bullock is mum to Louis, now 13, and Laila, now 11, while Randall has 29-year-old daughter Skylar.<\/p>\n
