Barbra Streisand: A Glimpse Into Her Life And Family Values

There’s nothing Barbra Streisand cherishes more than time with her family! The Funny Girl actress and her husband, James Brolin, are doting parents and grandparents to their big, blended bunch. Photos of their adorable grandchildren will warm your heart!

The Grammy winner married her first husband, Elliott Gould, in 1963. The former couple welcomed one son together, Jason Gould, in 1966. Barbra and Elliott were officially divorced in 1971. She found love again with James soon after when they met through a mutual friend.

“​​My husband and I were set up on a blind date,” she recalled in a November 2016 interview with W Magazine. “I met him at a dinner and expected a bearded mountain-man type, and he had cut off all his hair and was clean-shaven. 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.”

Family Dynamics and Relationships

Barbra Streisand and James Brolin tied the knot in 1998, merging their families and creating a strong bond. Barbra became a stepmom to James’ three children from previous relationships: Josh Brolin, Jess Brolin, and Molly Elizabeth Brolin. Her excitement was palpable when Josh revealed that he and his wife, Kathryn Boyd, were expecting their first child together in 2018.

“[Barbra] is, like, in our face. She’s calling all the time, emailing all the time, she has name suggestions, we got her a bracelet that says ‘Grandma’ on it [and] she started crying,” the Avengers: Endgame actor said during a June 2018 appearance on Good Morning America. “She’s into it, man. Really, really into it.”

Welcoming New Generations

Westlyn arrived in November 2018, making Barbra a proud grandmother. She became a big sister when Josh and Kathryn welcomed their second child, daughter Chapel, in 2020. The Deadpool star is also a father to son Trevor Brolin and daughter Eden Brolin, whom he welcomed during his previous marriage to Alice Adair. Barbra has openly spoken about the joy of spending time with her stepson’s two eldest children.

“Our granddaughter came over the other day, Josh’s daughter. She’s 16 years old and it was the sweetest thing — she just wanted to spend time with us. I canceled all my appointments,” the Broadway legend told Parade in August 2009. “I had a lawyer’s appointment and a business appointment, and I said, ‘I can’t make it today.’ It’s so much fun to be with her. That’s more important now. More important than business.”
