Their romance began with a blind date, where Streisand was expecting someone quite different from the bald-headed Brolin who showed up. Despite her initial candid remark about his hair, Brolin was charmed, recognizing Streisand as his soulmate.
Though it took Streisand a few more dates to be sure, the couple eventually fell deeply in love and exchanged vows in 1998. Both had previous marriages: Streisand to Elliot Gould and Brolin to Jane Agee and Jane Smithers, each with their own children.
Brolin, utterly devoted to his wife, once confessed, “Every night is a new adventure. Sleeping is a waste of time. I can’t wait to see her again in the morning.”
