The Enduring Charm of Ralph Fiennes on Barbra Streisand
It’s no secret that Barbra Streisand, the iconic showbiz legend, has harbored a soft spot for the dashing British actor Ralph Fiennes for quite some time now. This long-standing admiration has reportedly raised a few eyebrows, particularly those of her husband, James Brolin, according to exclusive sources speaking to Closer.
At 82, Barbra openly admits that the 61-year-old English Patient star is nothing short of irresistibly attractive. This candid confession doesn’t sit too well with James, who is also 83. Let’s face it, when someone like Ralph Fiennes—known for his charm and allure—keeps turning heads, it’s bound to spark some tension.
Jim Brolin’s Reaction to Ralph Fiennes
“Jim doesn’t like it one bit,” an insider reveals. “Ralph’s got a reputation as a ladies’ man, and Jim doesn’t want him hanging around ogling his wife. But Barbra? She’s completely unapologetic about her crush. She wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize her marriage, but that doesn’t stop her from daydreaming.”

It’s worth noting that Barbra and Ralph first crossed paths in the 1990s when the multi-talented actress wanted him to star in The Normal Heart, a movie adaptation of a play she was keen on producing. This initial meeting sparked a connection that has endured for decades.
A Crush That Stands the Test of Time
“Barbra’s had a torch for Ralph for years,” the source elaborates. “There were opportunities for something more to happen, but she chose to keep things professional. She’s always respected her marriage to James, but her admiration for Ralph never wavered.”
According to those in the know, Ralph Fiennes was equally smitten with Barbra. Even now, if you ask her, she’ll tell you he still carries that spark. “He never misses one of her concerts,” the insider adds. “And the way he looks at her? It’s enough to make her knees go weak.”
Ralph Fiennes: A Heartthrob Through the Ages
Ralph Fiennes has a way of turning heads, and not just with Barbra. Before and after his 1997 divorce from his wife, English actress Alex Kingston, he’s had a string of romances. But when it comes to Barbra, there’s a special connection. According to Barbra herself, Ralph once confessed, “I love too many women,” explaining why he hasn’t remarried.
“Ralph’s the one that got away, or at least that’s how Barbra sees it,” the insider concludes. “But the truth is, they’ve never really lost touch. Their bond remains strong, even after all these years.”
