Barbra Streisand Opens Up About Her and James Brolin’s Unusual Schedule: ‘We Go to Bed Very Late’
Barbra Streisand and James Brolin are total night owls.
On Tuesday, July 1, People reported that Streisand, 83, informed the outlet that she was not up for the day yet, despite their interview taking place at 2:00 PM P.T.
According to the EGOT winner, that’s not unusual for the couple’s typical routine. “We go to bed very late, so I’m still in bed,” she told the publication, referring to her and Brolin, 84. “We have a different schedule. We love the silence of the night.”
Back in April, Brolin appeared on Today and also gave insight into his and the Funny Girl star’s sleeping habits.
“The best investment we’ve ever made is our mattress. And don’t misunderstand me. We’re both lazy,” he admitted. “We love to sleep late. We do a lot of our work on the phone, on paper, reading, right next to each other.”
The Ransom Canyon actor also shared how he and Streisand have maintained their marriage.
“You learn to take a walk. Both of us, not just me!” he remarked. “I just think you gotta say, ‘Okay, take a deep breath, take a walk,’ Because animals do the same thing, you know? Humans do it to each other, animals do it to each other.”
On Tuesday, the couple celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary. The pair met on July 1, 1996, and tied the knot exactly two years later in 1998.
Streisand posted a sweet throwback photo of her and her husband on Instagram to mark the occasion.
“We met on a blind date 29 years ago tonight, and we married 27 years ago today,” she captioned the shot. “I love you honey. B xo. ❤️.”
Despite the social media tribute, a source recently told Globe that Brolin was not happy with Streisand after she made an NSFW confession about Warren Beatty.
“I know I slept in the bed with him, but I can’t remember if we actually had penetration. I swear to God, I can’t,” Streisand told The New Yorker. “There are certain things I block out.”
The insider told Globe, “Behind the scenes, he’s livid. Jim prides himself on keeping their marriage private and dignified, so for Barbra to prattle on talking about sleeping with another man, even decades ago, has really put his back up.”
“He’s always played second fiddle to her celebrity, but he’s sick and tired of being the punchline while she makes headlines by oversharing,” the source added. “What’s worse is she doesn’t seem to think she did anything wrong — she brushed off the comments like they were no big deal!”
