Barbra Streisand just detonated a Hollywood bombshell that insiders say could blow up two long-running marriages.
In a candid interview with The New Yorker, the 83-year-old music icon casually admitted to once sleeping in a bed with actor Warren Beatty — and then claimed she couldn’t remember if they had sex.
That eyebrow-raising confession has now reportedly enraged both her husband, James Brolin, and Beatty’s wife, Annette Bening.
According to sources who spoke exclusively to The National Enquirer, Brolin is livid over Streisand’s decision to speak so openly about a decades-old fling. He has always taken pride in keeping their marriage private, but now feels humiliated by his wife’s latest overshare.
Marital chaos erupts over Streisand’s comment
While Streisand insisted she doesn’t recall if “penetration” happened, her vague memory of the incident has only fueled tension behind closed doors.
The insider said Brolin is furious not just at the content of her revelation, but at the cavalier way she delivered it. She treated the memory as harmless gossip, even though it involved another man and became instant tabloid fodder.
Meanwhile, Beatty’s wife of 32 years, Annette Bening, is also demanding answers. Sources claim she feels blindsided and disrespected, especially since the topic of Beatty’s notorious past as a Hollywood playboy has long been off-limits in their marriage.
A friend close to the couple said Annette believes Barbra’s remark was less about honesty and more about grabbing headlines.
Streisand slammed for “attention-seeking” behavior
Industry insiders say Streisand’s unexpected revelation is stirring deeper issues in both relationships.
One tipster told The National Enquirer that Bening is hurt by the public embarrassment, while Brolin feels sidelined in his own marriage.
The same source claimed Streisand brushed off the controversy and didn’t think her words would spark backlash. She allegedly believed her friendship with Beatty was already well-known and didn’t see the harm in recalling it.
However, Brolin has reportedly grown tired of playing second fiddle to her legacy. Friends say he’s been simmering over Barbra’s past habit of turning private matters into public spectacles — but this time, she may have gone too far.
Now, both couples are reportedly navigating the fallout, with private tensions boiling over into public speculation.
Streisand may have said she doesn’t remember what happened in that bed, but everyone else suddenly can’t stop thinking about it.
