Who are Barbra Streisand's kids with husband James Brolin?

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the Brolin family saga is a fascinating study of success, struggles, and the complexities of family dynamics. The children of renowned actor James Brolin have had diverse journeys within the entertainment industry, each with their unique set of challenges.


Since their marriage in 1998, renowned performer Barbra Streisand has taken on a maternal role for James Brolin’s three kids.

James, a renowned actor and Golden Globe winner, fathered three children: Josh, Jess, and Molly.

It’s worth noting that all three of James’ offspring possess a background in the entertainment field, with Josh specifically carving out a thriving niche in Tinseltown.

Yet, more recent images depicting a heavier Jesse, found at his residence – a compact motel situated beyond the city limits of a Californian town – have sparked concerns regarding his health status.

Here are details about the Brolin children and what we know about their family relationships.

Who is Josh Brolin? 

Josh, James’ eldest child, made his big screen debut in the 1985 cult classic The Goonies.

56-year-old actor, born to James and the late Jane Cameron Agee, has been seen in movies such as Deadpool 2 and Avengers: Endgame. In 2009, he received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

In 2004, the actor found himself in news headlines following his arrest for allegedly abusing his former wife, Diane Lane, under the charge of domestic violence.

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.

In 2014, Josh shared with The Guardian that his conversation brought to mind numerous thoughts. These memories included the loss of his mother when he was in his twenties, which left a deep impression on him that he had yet to fully overcome; he was incredibly close to his mother.

‘I knew that I had to change and mature. It was like I stepped back and saw the hamster wheel.’

As a die-hard admirer, today I’m thrilled to share that my beloved idol, the actor, is blissfully married to Kathryn Boyd Brolin. Together they have four beautiful children, and it’s heartening to know that he’s been maintaining his sobriety for over a decade now. This just goes to show how much he values his family and personal growth!

Who is Jess Brolin?

Jess, born in 1972 to parents James and Agee, worked as part of the crew on projects such as The Jennie Project and Black Scorpion Returns.

The 52-year-old’s last Hollywood credit was in 2002, and he eventually left the business.

Since then, he’s encountered several tough times and, as late as 2011, found himself living in an old, worn-out pickup truck because his inherited trust fund had been exhausted.

He was seen rummaging through a public trash bin in California in 2014. 

Jess has been living in temporary housing for over a decade.

Who is Molly Brolin?

Molly is the baby of the Brolin family, being the sole child born to James and actress Jan Smithers.

Similar to Jess, who is 37 years old, has amassed several film credits and worked as a production assistant on projects like Men in Black III and John Mulaney’s New in Town.

She hasn’t worked in film since she served as an assistant producer for the 2018 film Royal Hearts.

Molly leads a tranquil lifestyle away from the spotlight and is presently overseeing So-Hum Healing, a unique establishment focusing on interpreting the Akashic Records and providing astrology consultations.

She married Justin Bearclaw Johnson, and gave birth to a daughter shortly afterward.  

How close are they with Barbra and their father?

Barbra and James are very close with Josh and Molly, but estranged from Jess.

The actress from “Funny Girl” has praised both her eldest and youngest stepchildren and went to Molly and Johnson’s wedding accompanied by James.

She’s also praised Josh for his career.

A photo of Jess with her dad and his new spouse, taken at James’ Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony, was among the latest ones captured in 1998.

2014 saw Barbra’s family members express a willingness to assist Jess, however, Barbra declined the offer.

‘We’ve given assistance and care, and we plan to keep doing that. We truly care for him and wish him nothing but the greatest success.’
