Who are Barbra Streisand’s kids with husband James Brolin?
Legendary entertainer Barbra Streisand has been a mother figure to James Brolin’s three children since the pair married in 1998.
James, a renowned actor and Golden Globe winner, fathered three children: Josh, Jess, and Molly.
All three of James’ children have experience in the entertainment industry, and Josh has maintained a successful career in Hollywood.
However, recent photos of an overweight Jess spotted at his home – a cramped motel on the outskirts of a California town – raised questions about his well being.
Here are details about the Brolin children and what we know about their family relationships.

The actor made headlines in 2004 after he was arrested on charges of spousal battery against his ex-wife, Diane Lane.
Josh was not found guilty, and the charges against him were dropped.
He was arrested two more times, and after his 2013 arrest, entered rehab for substance abuse.
‘It made me think of a lot of things. My mom dying when I was in my 20s. All the impact that had on me that I hadn’t moved past; I was always such a mama’s boy,’ Josh told The Guardian in 2014.
‘I knew that I had to change and mature. It was like I stepped back and saw the hamster wheel.’
Today, the actor is married to Kathryn Boyd Brolin, has four children, and has been sober for more than 10 years.

Jess was born to James and Agee in 1972 and served as a crew member in works like The Jennie Project and Black Scorpion Returns.
The 52-year-old’s last Hollywood credit was in 2002, and he eventually left the business.
He has since hit multiple rough patches and even lived out of a battered truck in 2011 after his inherited trust fund ran out.

Barbra and James are very close with Josh and Molly, but estranged from Jess.
The Funny Girl starlet has spoken highly her oldest and youngest stepchildren, and attended Molly and Johnson’s wedding with James as her date.
She’s also praised Josh for his career.
One of the last photos of Jess with dad and stepmom was in 1998 during James’ Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.
Barbra’s representative confirmed in a 2014 statement that his family members offered to help Jess, but he refused.
