It’s not every day that a Hollywood power couple opens up about a secret they’ve been keeping for decades. But that’s exactly what Barbra Streisand and James Brolin did on their 25th wedding anniversary. In an interview with Gayle King of CBS Mornings, they revealed a surprising detail about their relationship that few people knew. Let’s dive in and discover their saucy secret!
But first, let’s go back to the beginning of their love story. Streisand and Brolin were set up on a blind date, but things didn’t go exactly as planned. Streisand had a different image of what her date would look like, expecting a man with a full head of hair and a beard. When she saw Brolin, who was bald, she couldn’t help but comment on his hair. Instead of being taken aback, Brolin found her honesty endearing and knew that Streisand was the one for him.
It took Streisand a few more dates before she fully realized her feelings for Brolin. But eventually, love blossomed between them, and they tied the knot in 1998. This wasn’t the first marriage for either of them. Streisand had previously been married to Elliot Gould, with whom she has a son named Jason. Brolin had been married twice before, with three children from his previous marriages and four grandchildren.
Brolin has often expressed his adoration for Streisand, describing their life together as a constant adventure. He can’t imagine spending his days with anyone else. As he once said, “Every night is a new adventure. Sleeping is a waste of time. I can’t wait to see her again in the morning.”
Now, let’s get to the juicy part of their secret. Before meeting Streisand, Brolin had been celibate for three years. In the interview with Gayle King, he revealed that he had lost interest in getting involved in relationships after his two failed marriages. But everything changed when a friend convinced him to meet Streisand. His perspective shifted, and he knew he had to marry her. Streisand, on the other hand, needed a little more convincing. It wasn’t until Brolin asked her for the third time that she finally said yes.
The revelation of Brolin’s celibacy came as a surprise to many, including Gayle King, who couldn’t believe it. But it’s a testament to the strength of their connection that Streisand and Brolin found each other and built a lasting marriage despite their previous experiences.
