Sandra Bullock is “doing okay” as she reaches a birthday milestone following a difficult period in her life.
It’s been nearly a year since the Academy Award-winning actress, who turns 60 on July 26, announced that Bryan Randall — her partner since 2015 — had died at 57 after a three-year battle with ALS. News of Randall’s death came about a year and a half after Bullock publicly stated that she needed “to take a pause” from her career in order to spend time with her family, including her two children, who are now 11 and 14.
“She’s doing okay now. Her kids are amazing. She’s very happy to be a mom,” a source close to Bullock’s friend Jennifer Aniston, 55, tells PEOPLE.
“Her friends gave her the support that she needed both during his illness and afterwards. She is grateful for all the love,” the source adds. “Everyone helped to lift her up after Bryan passed.”
At the time of Randall’s death, Bullock’s most recent starring roles were in the 2022 films Bullet Train and The Lost City, for which she also served as a producer. In an interview in 2022, she said that she knew during production for The Lost City that it would be her last movie for a while.
“I don’t know what ‘a while’ is,” she told CBS News. “I would just love to clean out the basement.”
In the time since, she has yet to make an appearance on the big screen — though Bullock has recently indicated that she plans to return soon. While marking the 30th anniversary of her film Speed with Keanu Reeves in May, Bullock appeared with her costar on the 50 MPH podcast, where the pair teased another joint film down the line.
