Let’s talk about love during a pandemic. For many couples, being stuck at home together 24/7 during the coronavirus outbreak was challenging. But for James Brolin and Barbra Streisand, quarantine turned out to be a game-changer. These two Hollywood legends aren’t just surviving—they’re thriving. Since the lockdown began last year, they’ve actually fallen even more in love. Who knew staying home could bring people closer?
Streisand and Brolin: Love Against the Odds
On June 11, during an appearance on The Talk, James Brolin opened up about how the couple has navigated the pandemic together. At 80 years old, the star of Amityville Horror admitted that, like many others, they were initially thrown off by the chaos of COVID-19. But unlike so many relationships that struggled under the weight of constant togetherness, James and Barbra, 79, found themselves growing stronger.
“A lot of people’s marriages didn’t fare well during these 15 months,” James reflected. “But for us, it’s been different. We’ve literally fallen in love all over again.” How’s that for a silver lining?

The Secret to Their Success
When asked by host Sheryl Underwood what makes their relationship tick, James revealed some key ingredients. “Neither one of us has ever walked out the door after an argument,” he said. “We’re good at talking things out, which I think is crucial.” It’s not just about avoiding drama—it’s about communication. In a world where misunderstandings can spiral out of control, this couple knows how to keep the lines open.
James also credited their complementary personalities. “I like women who speak their mind, and I bring a calming presence,” he explained. “Barbra gets me up and moving, doing things I might not normally accomplish. It’s like we’re two halves of a perfect whole.”
Surprise Gifts and Quality Time
For James and Barbra, love isn’t just about grand gestures—it’s about quality time. After all, they’ve been married for 23 years and counting, and they’re still as smitten as ever. But every now and then, James likes to surprise Barbra with a gift. “I’ll try to find something special, even if it’s not expected,” he admitted. However, choosing the right present isn’t always easy. “Barbra’s pretty picky, so it’s not the simplest task,” he joked. Still, when he does hit the mark, it’s worth it.
