Who is Skylar Staten Randall? All About Bryan Randall’s Daughter

Skylar Staten Randall (born September 1993; Age: 30 years old) is the daughter of Bryan Randall, an American photographer and businessman.

Sky, as her pet name says, had a tragic upbringing that saw her move from her mother to her grandmother and lastly her father. She never experienced the love of her parents as both Bryan and Janine Staten (her mum) were drug addicts. She only managed to live a near-normal life with her grandmother, Pierrette Johnson, but she died within two years.

Sky is currently living far away from the limelight; she seems to have cut all ties with her celebrity father in order to have a normal life.

How Old is Skylar Staten Randall?

Skylar Staten Randall is 30 years old; the celebrity kid came into the world in September 1993, but her exact birthday is not known. Sky’s birth occurred in Los Angeles, California, making her an American citizen. Her ethnicity is listed as White.

Sky was born as the only child of Bryan Randall and his former spouse who goes by the name, Janine Staten. Bryan started earning a living as a professional photographer and later became a high-end fashion model gracing the pages of A-list publications such as Vogue Paris; he also did adverts for top labels, including Hugo Boss and Saint Laurent.

Janine’s profession, on the other hand, is not known, but reports said she had big dreams of working as a screenwriter in Hollywood. There was a time she was said to be working at MTV, but no one knows exactly what she did there. However, the mother of one was also dating a top man at DreamWorks Records at the same time.

Sky completed her high school education in LA after she went to live with her dad following the demise of her mother. When it was time for the LA native to go for further studies, Bryan’s daughter moved to Arizona; however, the name of the academic institution she attended is not listed.

What Happened to Skylar Staten Randall’s Mother?

Skylar Staten Randall’s mum, Janine Staten, seemed to hold a special attraction for drug addicts when she was alive. While her relationship with Bryan was still ongoing, the duo struggled with addiction which landed the photographer in rehab while she was pregnant with Sky.

While Bryan managed to kick the habit out of his life, Staten did not. After her union with the children’s photographer came to an end, the mother of one went to find solace in the arms of self-confessed addict and heroin dealer Michael Blankenship. The duo later tied the knot and lived with Sylar in an apartment they rented in Medford, Oregon.

With a heroine drug lord for a husband, it came as no surprise that Janine started overdosing on the hard substance, which led her body to become septic. On the 6th of December 2004, the mother of one was admitted into the Rogue Valley Medical Center. One month later, on the 7th of January 2004, while in a coma, she passed on.

Following Skylar Staten Randall’s demise, the center decided to waive the huge medical bill she accumulated; this act was done as a kind gesture to Pierrette Johnson (Janine’s mum), who did extensive work in their community.

According to some family members, Janine did love her only child, Sky, but the demons that bedeviled her life did not allow her to be a good mum; this was the main reason Sylar remained deprived of love and affection all her life.

Skylar Staten Randall Continued Growing Up Under the Watch of Her Grandmother after Janine Staten’s Passing

Pierrette Johnson took full charge of her granddaughter’s life after she lost Janine in 2007; Sky was barely 12 at that time. Pierrette was a devout Catholic who gave her all to their community. She was very active in church activities, belonging to several charitable societies.

In fact, Skylar Staten Randall had not stayed more than two years with her grandma when Pierrette died as a result of cardiac arrest. Reports said the charitable woman‘s life was cut short while she was busy delivering blueberry muffins to a Catholic voluntary organization known as the Society of St. Vincent de Paul – an organization that caters to the needs of the vulnerable in society.

Skylar Staten Randall Started Living With Her Dad after Johnson’s Death

By the time Skylar Staten Randall lost her grandmother, she was already a teenage girl of 14, and that was exactly when she got reunited with her dad. Bryan went to claim his daughter at Johnson’s home and brought her back to Los Angeles to live with him.

It was during her time in LA that Sky graduated from high school and proceeded to Arizona, where she acquired a university education.

Does Skylar Staten Randall Have a Relationship With Her Father?

According to reports, Skylar Staten Randall never enjoyed a healthy father-daughter relationship with Bryan. In fact, she was still in the womb when the celebrity photographer entered rehab for detox treatment.

Some family members have attested that Bryan has always been an absentee father that didn’t care to be present during his daughter’s early life. These claims got enough credence from existing court documents showing that Sky’s father owed child support for ten months which ran into #2,000.

When Skylar came of age, the LA native refused to have anything to do with her celebrity dad, who started dating Oscar-winning movie and TV actress Sandra Bullock. Bryan moved into Sandra’s plush $16 million Beverly Hills home, but Sky declined the offer.

She went to rent an affordable two-bedroom apartment in LA where she could have a normal life without the influence of her father’s fame. According to sources, father and daughter barely interact with each other.

She does not accept money from her dad and has since dropped his last name. Sky currently uses only her mum’s surname, Staten.
