This year marks 25 years that Barbra Streisand and James Brolin have been married. They’ve been honest with the public about their relationship and what it was like to find love after a long time.
Now, they’ve told a secret about their relationship that they kept to themselves for years. Read on to find out more about what they said!
Barbra Streisand and James Brolin’s love story begins with a random date, as many love stories do. The two were put together on a blind date, but she had a very different idea of what Brolin might look like than he did.
The singer thought she was meeting a guy with a full head of hair and a beard, but that man, Brolin, was bald.
Streisand is known for being very honest, and she couldn’t hold back when she told her date that his hair was messing up. She made Brolin like her more instead of less, and he knows that Streisand is the one for him.
It took Streisand a few more dates than it did Brolin before she was sure she liked the actor. But they fell deeply in love quickly and married in 1998.
Neither of them had been married before. From 1961 to 1973, Streisand was married to Elliot Gould, and the two of them have a boy together named Jason. Brolin had been to the altar twice before. Jane Agee worked with her for 20 years, and Jane Smithers worked with her for almost 10 years.
Brolin is married three times and has three children: Josh, Jess, and Molly Brolin. He also has four grandchildren, whose names are Eden, Trevor, Westlyn, and Chapel.
Brolin is deeply in love with his wife. He once said, “Every night is a new adventure,” which means he can’t picture his life without anyone else. It’s not worth it to sleep. “I can’t wait until morning to see her again.”
They told a long-kept secret after celebrating 25 years of marriage this summer. They talked to Gayle King of CBS Mornings and told her something that not many people knew. He hadn’t been with anyone for three years before he met Streisand.
“That’s a crazy word, but I had been celibate for three years, thinking, ‘Who needs this?'” In the chat with King, Brolin told.
“You’re not supposed to say that,” Streisand told him in a funny way.
King couldn’t believe it and kept asking, “For three years?”
This made Brolin answer, “I had not been interested in getting involved in a bad situation.”
“That must have been one hell of a night after three years,” I asked. When King asked, Brolin said yes and added, “Wild!”
He didn’t want to get close to anyone because both of his marriages had ended badly. He didn’t see the point in being in another relationship that wouldn’t work out.
Then a friend told him to meet Barbra, and he changed his mind. He knew he had to marry her. But it took a little more persuasion to get Streisand to say yes. It took him three tries before she finally gave in.
This interesting fact was new to me! It comes as a surprise that James Brolin has been single for three years! It’s wonderful that they were able to meet and become friends. What do you think of them together? Share your thoughts below.
