Legendary actress Barbra Streisand and actor James Brolin have been married for 25 remarkable years, and their love story is one for the ages. The couple has always been open about their relationship, but they’ve recently shared a surprising secret that they’ve kept hidden for years.
Their love story 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 Brolin was actually bald. Instead of being offended by her honesty, Brolin was charmed and knew she was the one.
After a few dates, Streisand was smitten, and they tied the knot in 1998. This wasn’t their first marriage, but they’ve made their relationship work despite past experiences. Brolin has three children from previous marriages and is a grandfather to four, while Streisand has a son from her previous marriage.
Brolin is besotted with Streisand, and their love is still strong after 25 years. In a recent interview with Gayle King, they revealed a surprising secret: Brolin had been celibate for three years before meeting Streisand. He had given up on relationships after two failed marriages but was convinced by a friend to meet Streisand.
Their first night together was “wild,” according to Brolin, and he knew he had to marry her. It took some convincing for Streisand to say yes, but they’ve been inseparable ever since. Their love story is a testament to finding love later in life and the power of honesty and charm in building a strong relationship.
