Sandra Bullock Shares Rare Photo of 2 Kids in Tribute to Her Late Dad

Sandra Bullock Shares Rare Throwback Photos of Kids in Tribute to Late Father

Sandra Bullock is honoring her father.

The 61-year-old paid tribute to her late dad John Wilson Bullock on Father’s Day, sharing sweet snaps of him embracing her, snuggling with his grandkids Louis, 16, and Laila, 12, and serving in the military as a teenager.

“He loved me through my goth period…” the Practical Magic actress shared to Instagram on June 21. “Loved on the loves of my life… And loved our country at 18… Happy Heavenly Father’s Day, Dad.”

After John died in 2018 at the age of 93, Sandra shared what she learned after his passing.

“Life, I realize, happens whether you schedule it or not,” she told The Ellen DeGeneres Show at the time. “That just blew my mind this year.”

And understanding that unpredictability, the Ocean’s 8 star knows that every moment with her family counts. In fact, she recently discussed how she balances motherhood with her career, explaining that the upcoming Practical Magic 2 was made possible because her kids were “out of school” at the time of production.

"I’m not going to sacrifice my time with my kids,” Sandra said during an April 16 panel at CNBC’s Changemakers Summit. “They’d be happy if I was gone, I would not.”

She further explained, “I do not do my best work if my children are struggling or if they need something and I can’t facilitate it. I’m raising my children, not anybody else.”

Indeed, the Miss Congeniality alum has largely been focused on her family in recent years. Following the death of her longtime partner Bryan Randall in 2023, she has largely kept out of the spotlight, although she had previously shared how important he was in her kids’ lives before his death.

"He's the example I would want my children to have," she told the Red Table Talk in December 2021. "I don't always agree with him and he doesn't always agree with me, but he is an example even when I don't agree with him."
