James Brolin has been married to Barbra Streisand for nearly 30 years—and says their secret? It starts with the mattress.

On the Today show, Brolin joked, “The best investment we’ve ever made is our mattress—we love sleeping late!”

The couple often does work side by side in bed—reading, taking calls, and staying close even during busy days.

Another tip? “Take a walk,” Brolin said. "When things get tense, breathe and take a break—just like animals do."

The couple met on a blind date in July 1996 and married exactly two years later, on July 1, 1998.

Streisand celebrated their anniversary in 2024 with a heartfelt post: “28 years today since we met honey… Love you.”

Brolin previously shared that patience and negotiation are also essential for making a relationship last.

Before they met, Streisand was married to Elliott Gould and Brolin had two previous marriages.
