LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sandra Bullock, 59, is preparing to bid a heartfelt adieu to her late partner and "love of her life" Bryan Randall, 57, in a place that held profound significance for both of them.
Randall died due to ALS earlier in August. The renowned Oscar-winning actress was reportedly thinking of returning to the Three Bees in the Bahamas to scatter Randall's ashes in the sea.
Though Bullock and Randall never legally married, they symbolically exchanged "vows" in a beachside ceremony in the Bahamas on December 31, 2017.
Sources said, "The place was just so special to them both. They would take over the entire island so they could just be themselves."
Sources further said, "It was a place where they shared some of their happiest times together and with the kids and friends. They would go there for weeks at a time."
They added, "It holds a lot of meaning and it just makes sense for that to be where she says goodbye to him."
Randall's daughter, Skylar Staten, collected his ashes last week. It was delivered to her Los Angeles apartment three days after his death by a representative from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
Sources said, "Sandra has taken Skylar under her wing since her father passed." Randall and Bullock never got married but they wanted to do something similar for the children.
An insider said, "Sandra didn't want to get married after her experience of getting divorced from Jesse James back in 2010. But she and Bryan really wanted to have something for the children, to kind of seal the deal and show them it was a forever thing," reported the Daily Mail.
