Brolin revealed in an interview with Gayle King that he had been celibate for three years before meeting Streisand, a fact Streisand playfully scolded him for sharing. His celibacy stemmed from disillusionment after two failed marriages. Meeting Streisand changed his perspective, and he knew she was the one.
Despite Brolin’s certainty, it took Streisand some time to reciprocate his feelings, eventually leading to their marriage. The couple, smitten with each other, shared their surprising revelation with King, sparking discussion about their enduring relationship.
