When Sandra Bullock found herself navigating the complexities of love after her divorce from Jesse James in 2010, she turned to someone who knows a thing or two about relationships—her dear friend Betty White. According to an exclusive source speaking to Closer Weekly, Betty offered Sandra some sage advice: "Make sure the next one loves and adores you without any competitiveness or jealousy." It’s advice Sandra clearly took to heart, as her current relationship with Bryan Randall seems to be thriving.
Betty, who lived to be 99 and was married three times, had a lifetime of experience to draw from. Her marriages to Dick Barker, Lane Allen, and Allen Ludden taught her what to look for in a partner. That's why, when Sandra introduced her to Bryan, Betty gave him her full approval, recognizing the genuine connection between them. And let me tell you, that's no small thing coming from someone as wise as Betty.
Building Bonds: A Friendship Like No Other
Once Bryan and Sandra’s kids, Louis and Laila, got to know Betty, the Bird Box star didn’t hesitate to bring them all together at Betty’s Los Angeles home. Whether it's a casual lunch or dinner, these gatherings have become cherished moments for Sandra and her family. Sometimes, they even rent out a private room at a restaurant if Betty feels up to a night out. It’s clear that Sandra values every moment with Betty, soaking up her stories and learning from her vast experiences in Hollywood. As one friend put it, "Sandra never grows tired of hearing Betty's tales. She appreciates her history in the industry and recognizes Betty as a trailblazer for women long before it was trendy."

The Wisdom of a Legend
Betty's incredible career, spanning decades, is one of the reasons Sandra holds her advice so dear. "I want to have the life and the outlook and the joy that she does," Sandra once said, revealing her admiration for the legendary actress. "If I could have half of Betty White’s satisfaction and joy and insight and zest for life at half her age, I would be satisfied." It's not just about longevity; it's about living life with passion and purpose, something Betty exemplified in everything she did.
Reciprocal Admiration: Betty on Sandra
The admiration flows both ways. Betty once gushed about Sandra in an interview, saying, "[Sandra] was just unlike anybody I know in this business. Not only is she a tremendous talent and stunningly gorgeous, but she's also genuinely a wonderful human being. There’s no 'movie star' facade about her at all. She’s someone you want to know for the rest of your life." How heartwarming is that? It’s clear these two share a special bond that transcends the typical Hollywood friendship.
