Like many celebrities, Streisand married a co-star whenshe and Elliott Gould wed in 1963.
The pair divorced in 1971, and it would be decades until Streisand would walk down the aisle again.
A romance with tennis great Andre Agassi followed, and then came the keeper in the mid-1990s James Brolin.
Although the two would later divorce, the marriage produced two children, Josh and Jess.
Of course, they knew who one another was, but they had never met in person.
“I asked him, ‘Who screwed up your hair?’
He later told me that’s when he fell in love with me.
My fella likes to hear the truth, which is unusual.”
By November of that year, Streisand and Brolin were living together, according toGood Housekeeping.
At age 56, she was not going to let her second wedding be the same.
“Every night is a new adventure.
Sleeping is a waste of time.
I can’t wait to see her again in the morning.”
“Twenty years in Hollywood is like 50 years in Chicago, I always say,” Streisand toldExtra.
She also explained that she and Brolin keep their relationship strong by being kind to one another.
I’m telling you the truth.'
And, when that does not work, Streisand and Brolin work through their issues in therapy.
Call a shrink six months before you’re married, and both of you sit there with him.
Brolin echoed similar sentiments while speaking toTMZin New York City in 2023.
He advised couples to “stick with it” and “cry together” (viaYouTube).
“She says there’s a second book,” Brolin said.
“It kind of ends when we meet” (viaYouTube).
However, Streisand doesn’t leave readers entirely in the dark about her and Brolin’s ongoing love story.
And I want to have fun."
For Streisand, this looks like spending time and traveling with Brolin and her family.
“I want to live life,” she told the BBC.
Life is fun for me when they come over.
They love playing with the dogs, and we have fun."
