Over the years, Elliott Gould and Barbra Streisand's lives and careers went in different directions. Streisand went on to become a superstar singer, an Oscar winning actress, and a film director. Gould found success in the late 1960s and early 1970s in such films as "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" and the movie version of "M*A*S*H" (via Turner Classic Movies). He later made a comeback of sorts as Ross and Monica's dad in "Friends," Jack Geller, playing him off and on throughout the run of the series (via IMDb). In 2020, Gould reflected on his first marriage to Streisand and why their marriage fell apart.
"Well, Barbra asked me at one point, because she's still writing her book, she said, "Why did we grow apart?'" Gould said during an interview with CBS Sunday Morning. "I said, 'My question would be, 'How could we have grown apart?' And the answer to that is that we didn't grow together. And the reason for that was because she became more important than us."
Despite their separation, Gould still had kinds words for his ex-wife.
"I also said to her, 'We did great. We made it very fast. And nobody has what we have,'" he said. "There's you, and me, and our kid."
