Songstress Barbra Streisand has won the love of fans all over the world! In her personal life, the EGOT winner found love with her longtime spouse, James Brolin. While the couple have been living a life of wedded bliss for more than two decades, Barbra still maintains a friendship with her ex-husband, Elliott Gould.
The “Woman in Love” singer crossed paths with her first husband in 1962 when she was auditioning for a role in I Can Get It for You Wholesale. After starring together in the Broadway musical, Barbra and Elliot hit it off and became a couple.
While living together in a small apartment over a seafood restaurant in New York City, the Funny Girl star and the M*A*S*H actor made their love official when they got married in 1963. The former pair became the proud parents of their only son, Jason Gould, just three years later in 1966. Barbra and the Long Goodbye actor called it quits by 1971.
Following her divorce from Elliott, the A Star is Born actress found love again with James in the mid-’90s. At the time, Barbra met the Life in Pieces actor at a dinner party.
“[I] expected a bearded mountain-man type, and he had cut off all his hair and was clean-shaven,” she recalled to W Magazine in November 2016 of James. “I asked him, ‘Who screwed up your hair?’ … He later told me that’s when he fell in love with me.”
Barbra and James’ whirlwind romance quickly took off and the two were married by July 1998. Although they never welcomed any children together, the Prince of Tides actress effortlessly filled in as the stepmom of her hubby’s three kids, Josh Brolin, Jess Brolin and Molly Brolin, from previous relationships.
While it’s been almost 30 years since Barbra and James walked down the aisle, the longtime lovebirds are still as infatuated with each other as the day they said, “I do.” In fact, the Amityville Horror actor revealed how their relationship continues to be so successful after more than two decades together.
“We are the best of friends,” James gushed to Bella magazine in January 2019. “A new marriage is a love affair, and then it becomes a friendship, and a lot of people don’t realize how great that is. They question where their love affair went.”
