婚姻 與 事業
首張個人專輯面世之後, 成績嬌人; 同年, 與舞台劇演員 Elliot Gould 兩人, 從曼哈頓與朋友合租的寓所遷出, 繼而走進教堂, 結成夫婦, 及後育有一子 Jason。她婚後仍致力唱片錄音工作, 亦参予電影和音樂劇演出。可惜, 這段婚姻衹維持了八年, 至1971年告終。

第二任丈夫是演員 James Brolin, 兩人於1998年七月一日結婚; 婚後並沒有孩子; 而 Brolin 的兩個孩子是來自過去的兩次婚姻, 其中一個兒子是演員 Josh Brolin。2018年七月二日, Barbra 和 James 共同慶祝結婚二十週年, 至今兩人仍維持着安逸和愉快的婚姻生活。

Barbra Streisand 有三次被傳的緋聞; 1970年與加拿大總理杜魯多 Pierre Trudeau 的約會。1974年, 與髮型師亦是製片人 Jon Peters 過從甚密而成了娛樂新聞; 至九十年代初, 與網球名將阿加斯 Andre Agassi 兩人之間的傳聞, Agassi 2009年的自傳, 當中亦有提及這段關係, 他認為主要障礙是兩人的年紀差距。

在她的舞台生涯, 所受最大心理壓力, 就是要站在佈置華麗的舞台上演唱, 主因是缺乏安全感而引至怯場。她將恐懼症歸究於1967年, 在紐約中央公園舉行, 一場免費音樂會 "Central Park Music Festival", 在十三萬觀眾和電視現場直播, 當要唱出 "When The Sun Comes Out" 卻忘記了歌詞, 又沒有以說詞來掩飾和拖延一下而令她尷尬; 自此, 盡量迴避一些大型舞台的演唱近二十多年。


"BARBRA & NEIL" 
Barbra Streisand 在美國流行樂壇出道以來, 至今所錄製的唱片, 是最高銷量的女歌手之一。從唱片錄音、電影、電視和舞台演藝生涯, 所贏得各類獎項和美譽是多不勝數, 她的經典歌曲成為不同年代樂迷的挚愛。1964 "People"; 1974 "The Way We Were"; 1977 "Evergreen"; 1982 "Memory"; 1978年與前高中校友 Neil Diamond 合唱的經典 "You Don't Bring Me Flower" 是樂迷難忘的作品之一。

"You don't bring me flower" - Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond
You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs 

You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come through the door at the end of the day


I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night

When it's good for you, babe
And you're feeling alright


Well, you just roll over
And turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural (used to be)
To talk about forever
But used-to-be's don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor 'til we sweep them away


Baby, I remember
All the things you taught me

I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry


Well, I learned how to love
And I learned how to lie

So you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye


You don't bring me flowers anymore

Well, you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye

You don't say you need me
And you don't sing me love songs

You don't bring me flowers anymore
