Legendary singer Barbra Streisand and actor James Brolin have been married for an impressive 25 years, and their love story is still captivating audiences. The couple recently shared a surprising revelation about their relationship that they had kept private for years.
Their romance began with a blind date, but Streisand had a different image of Brolin in her mind. She expected a man with a full head of hair and a beard but was surprised to find him bald. Instead of being offended by her honest comment about his hair, Brolin was charmed by her candor and knew she was special.
It took Streisand a few more dates to be convinced of her feelings, but they eventually fell deeply in love and tied the knot in 1998. This was not their first marriage, as both had been married before and had children from previous relationships.
Brolin has three children and four grandchildren from his previous marriages, while Streisand has a son with her ex-husband Elliot Gould. Despite their past experiences, Brolin was smitten with Streisand and couldn’t imagine life without her. He once expressed his enthusiasm for their relationship, saying, “Every night is a new adventure… I can’t wait to see her again in the morning.”
During an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, the couple celebrated their 25th anniversary and revealed a surprising secret. Brolin had chosen to be celibate for three years before meeting Streisand, having lost interest in relationships after two failed marriages. However, his views changed after meeting Streisand, and he knew he had to marry her.
Streisand playfully scolded him for sharing this intimate detail, but Brolin confirmed that their first night together was indeed “wild.” He had been hesitant to get involved with someone new, but his friend’s encouragement led him to meet Streisand, and the rest is history.
Their love story is a testament to finding love later in life and the power of honest connections. Despite their successful careers, they prioritize their relationship and continue to inspire fans with their enduring love.
