In November of 2021, Sandra went on Red Table Talk and gushed about Bryan and their relationship:

"I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children — three children, his older daughter. It's the best thing ever... He's the example that I would want my children to have... I have a partner who's very Christian and there are two different ways of looking at things. 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..."

As mentioned earlier, after the premiere of The Lost City, Sandra took a step back to be with her family in 2022 and it was announced that Bryan sadly passed away on August 7, 2023.

At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan..."
