Before he met Sandra Bullock in 2015, Bryan Randall lived a tumultuous life — as did his 29-year-old daughter Skylar Staten.

Randall and Staten’s mother, Janine Staten, met in rehab in the early 1990s. The two were recovering drug users, and they turned to each other for comfort. An anonymous friend told the New York Post, “Heroin was their drug of choice and I remember meeting them both when Janine was still pregnant. Bryan had just gotten out of rehab at that point and they were both struggling. After Skylar was born, he was never around,” they revealed.
