Sandra Bullock keeps much of her life private, especially when it comes to her children and her partner, but in a recent episode of “Red Table Talk” she opened up about both topics.

Bullock talked to hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris about her partner, Bryan Randall, and his involvement in the children’s adoptions.

Bullock surprised the hosts by saying Randall was not involved in the adoption at all, but he was very supportive throughout the process.

Bullock already had her 11-year-old son Louis when she met Randall and adopted her daughter Laila without his involvement.

“I had Louis first. And then when I met Randall, and I was like, and we hadn’t been together that long. I go, ‘You remember that NDA you signed when you photographed my son?'” she said. “He was like, ‘Yeah.’ He’s still scared. His whole life had been unraveled because of me. And I said, ‘You know, that still holds.’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, OK, OK, OK, why?’ And I was like, ‘Cause I’m bringing a child home when I come back from Toronto.’ And he was like, ‘Sorry, what?'”

She said that Randall was “so happy, but he was scared” and added that she was very independent when it comes to doing what she wants. 

She added that Randall was, “Very patient. A saint. He has evolved on a level that is not human.”

“He’s the example that I would want my children to have. I have a partner who’s very Christian, and so there’s two very different ways of looking at things. And I don’t always agree with him,” she said. “He is an example even when I don’t agree with him that I go, ‘If they can take away from that, and if that is where they feel drawn to, then he’s the exact right parent.'”

Bullock also opened up about the difficulties of raising children who are of a different race and said sometimes she wished “our skins matched.” 

“Because then it would be easier on how people approach us. It’s our anxiety. It’s our fear. It’s our cross to bear the minute you become a mom. And I have the same feelings as a woman with brown skin with it being her babies or a White woman with, you know, White babies,” said Bullock.
