A glimpse into the past
Over the decades, Barbra has been in high-profile romances with the likes of Don Johnson, Jon Peters, Pierre Trudeau, and more, but has only been married twice.
In 1963, she tied the knot with actor Elliott Gould, although they announced their separation in 1969 and divorced in 1971. They have one son together, Jason Gould, who is now 57. James had been married twice before tying the knot with Barbra and has three children from those marriages, including actor Josh Brolin.
An emotional recounting
While promoting her memoir My Name is Barbra last year, Barbra spoke about meeting and falling in love with James during an appearance on Stephen Colbert’s show.
She told Stephen about first meeting James on a blind date after being set up by a mutual friend who thought that we might like each other
. She continued: I had no man in my life, I had no grandchildren in my life…I go there, and I see a man standing across the room. And I think ‘Is that him? Where’s the hair?’ It was all off…
A unique meet-cute story
The couple have no children together, although Barbra is a stepmom to his three kids from his previous marriages, and James is a stepdad to her son from her former marriage.
