Barbra Streisand and James Brolin have been happily married for 25 years, and they recently revealed a secret about their romance that they kept under wraps for years. Their love story began with a blind date, but with a surprising twist. Let’s dive into their incredible journey of finding love later in life.

A Blind Date Like No Other

On their first meeting, Streisand was taken aback by Brolin’s bald head, which was a departure from the image she had in mind. Known for her honesty, she couldn’t help but comment on his hair. But instead of being offended, Brolin was endearing, and Streisand knew she had found something special.

Love Blossoms

While it took a few more dates for Streisand to fully realize her feelings for Brolin, their love soon flourished. They tied the knot in 1998, marking their second marriage for both. Streisand was previously married to Elliot Gould, with whom she shares a son, while Brolin had two previous marriages.

Brolin cherishes his wife and often expresses his love for her. 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.” Their love has stood the test of time, and they recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

A Well-Kept Secret Revealed

During an interview with Gayle King of CBS Mornings, the couple disclosed a secret that not many people knew. Before meeting Streisand, Brolin had been celibate for three years. It took the right person to change his perspective on relationships and intimacy.

Streisand playfully reprimanded him for sharing this secret, but it was a testament to the depth of their connection. Brolin’s past failed marriages made him hesitant to get involved again, but meeting Streisand changed everything. And that special night after three years of celibacy was indeed wild!
