It's all about Sandra Bullock.
The While You Were Sleeping actress made a rare appearance at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena on Dec. 23 as she watched the city's Lakers take on and lose to the Detroit Pistons 117-114 alongside a bevy of stars including Leonardo DiCaprio, Corey Gamble, Nas, Rich Paul, Sam Richardson, Big Sean and more.
Sandra was all smiles as she watched the game from a private box inside the arena, marking one of the first times the Oscar winner has been spotted out and about since reuniting with her Speed costar Keanu Reeves in October.
During the Oct. 8 event, Sandra—who is mom to kids Louis, 15, and Laila, 11—reflected on the making of the 1994 classic, touching on the fact that she didn't realize what a hit they had on their hands while filming.
"I was just happy to be alive at the end of the day," she told the crowd. "I was new to the game, so I wasn't aware of what was happening or what felt right or what was not supposed to feel a certain way."
Public outings have been few and far between for the 60-year-old, who has done her best to stay out of the spotlight, especially following the August 2023 death of her longtime boyfriend Bryan Randall from ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Bryan—who began his relationship with Sandra in 2015—had been privately battling the disease for three years before his passing, around the time Sandra shared her decision to step away from acting.
"Right now, work in front of the camera needs to take a pause," she told CBS News in March 2022, adding she would do so "until I don't feel like I feel now when I'm in front of a camera."
She added, "I want to be at home. I was always running to the next thing. I just want to be present and responsible for one thing."
In December of 2023 the Blind Side actress spread Bryan's ashes in Wyoming, as shared by her sister Gesine Bullock-Prado, who posted to Instagram at the time, "Happy birthday, Bry. Sandy brought you to the river, just as she promised."
