In the summer of 1998, Barbra Streisand and James Brolin wed in her Malibu home, with Streisand wearing an exquisite Donna Karan gown. The bride sang ballads to her groom, and the groom gave a speech in which People reports he said, "I can't tell you how lucky I am that this would happen to me so late in life. Every night is a new adventure. Sleeping is a waste of time. I can't wait to see her again in the morning."
It's been more than two decades of wedded bliss as of this writing, with Streisand telling Extra the secret of her happy marriage as they approached their 20th anniversary in 2018. "Twenty years in Hollywood is like 50 years in Chicago, I always say."
She added that kindness is how she and Brolin get by. "The Dalai Lama says, 'Give truth with compassion ...' I used to use truth as a weapon years ago, actually, 'Well, you look fat 'cause you're fat ... I'm telling you the truth.' Truth with compassion would say it a different way — I don't think you can take each other for granted."
