An Inside Look At Barbra Streisand’s 23-Year-Long Marriage To James Brolin

The singer even jokes that Brolin claimed he could cook and that really made her swoon! “So he came with a sushi roller, that wooden thing, and made sushi and I love sushi,” she recalls. “So, I thought, ‘This is really great.’ He has never cooked again.”

Their true secret to a successful marriage

Brolin, on the other hand, believes astrology plays a big part in their romance. “If you look at Cancer and Taurus — not that I’m into astrology, but I’ll click on that if I’m on the computer — almost every time it says, ‘You guys are magic together,’” he tells Fox News. “‘You’re so opposite that you’re able to work it out.’ And that’s what makes a great team.”

So, as for the secret to a successful marriage? Barbra says that kindness and honesty are equally the #1 factors to sustaining a successful marriage. “Loving people share absolutely everything with each other,” she says.

How they keep the spark alive 23 years later

The two even have a way of keeping the spark alive 20+ years into their marriage. Barbra says she always feels welcome when she comes home. “I always get notes, ‘Hurry home!’ When I get there, there’s always something kind of great waiting for me, some plan, and I try to reciprocate.”

Believe it or not, the COVID pandemic actually helped their relationship. As Brolin explained to the UK’s Express, “We were put out by COVID and a lot of people, their marriages haven’t gone well during [it]. We’ve literally fallen in love over this period of time just being stuck together every day and making it work.”
