Meet Barbra Streisand’s Only Son, Who ‘Looks So Much Like His Mom’ – Stunning Transformation

Barbra Streisand’s son has led a unique life, balancing his love for the arts with a desire for privacy. Fans can’t help but notice how much he looks like his famous mom, and his transformation over the years has only deepened their fascination.

Barbra’s experience of becoming a mother seemed to have brought a fresh perspective on her own childhood. She opened up about the deep emotional impact of losing her father at only 15 months old, describing it as a significant void in her life.

In her memoir, “My Name Is Barbra,” the actress also described her complicated relationship with her mother, who was emotionally reserved.

“I was angry that I didn’t have a father,” Barbra recalled, adding that her mother avoided talking about him, fearing it would only intensify her grief.

When Barbra questioned her parent’s lack of affection, her mother explained, “My parents never hugged me … but I knew they loved me,” to which the singer responded, “Well, I didn’t know you loved me.”

In addition to the painful revelations about her family, Barbra also reflected on her journey into motherhood. At 21, she married her first husband, actor Elliot Gould, in 1963, and not long after, they encountered an unexpected surprise.

Barbra recalled her reaction to discovering she was pregnant, describing it as a shock. She admitted, “For years I had honestly thought there was something wrong with me, because I had never gotten pregnant. Having a baby seemed like something for other women, not for me.”

The celebrity recounted a passionate evening with Elliot during rehearsals in London, noting how an intense mix of emotions led to a moment of vulnerability.

“And that’s when it happened … I could feel the moment when I conceived,” she stated. Filled with joy, she described how pregnancy made her feel “normal for once,” an experience that brought her immense happiness.

Barbra and Elliot welcomed their son, Jason Gould, in December 1966. However, their marriage ended after eight years. Despite the separation, Barbra and Jason formed a close bond, sharing a mutual love for music.

He later reflected on his early musical inclinations, sharing, “As a child, I was always a kid who would sit at the keyboard and come up with little melodies, but I never knew how to develop them into a full-fledged song.”

Jason admitted that he only began attempting to write lyrics several years ago but felt that music had always been “a part of me.” Like his mother, he ventured into acting and singing, embracing the artistic path that had defined Barbra’s own career.

Though Jason initially resisted music due to his mother’s fame, he eventually accepted it, surprising Barbra with his singing talent in 2012.

“I was very afraid of exploring that part of myself,” he admitted in an interview. He only shared his first recording, “How Deep Is the Ocean,” with her years later.

Determined to pursue his passion, Jason joined a songwriting workshop and connected with other artists, saying his journey “just unfolded so organically.”

Since then, he’s released a debut EP, an album titled “Dangerous Man,” another EP, “Dark Grey Skies,” and several singles, including his latest release.

Despite his musical success, Jason has never sought fame, admitting, “I sort of like being out of the spotlight.” Open about his sexuality since the ’80s, the songwriter recalled the aftermath after he came out as a gay man.

He once saw a tabloid cover falsely claiming he had married a male model and called the story “shocking because it’s so untrue.” However, Jason clarified that he was never uncomfortable with being identified as gay. “I never felt like I needed to come out because I never felt like I was in,” he shared, expressing comfort in his own identity.

Now 57, Jason is frequently seen on his mother’s social media, where fans adore his resemblance to Barbra. In December 2023, the mother of one shared a heartwarming photo of herself and Jason in a warm embrace, sparking enthusiastic comments from her followers.

“He’s so handsome,” one admirer noted. Another wrote, “Looks like his beautiful Mom, a very nice man and son.” Other comments echoed similar sentiments, “Handsome,” “Looks so much like his Mom,” and “He is so handsome, he’s talented like his beautiful mom.”

The bond between Barbra and Jason has clearly remained strong, and she has always cherished her role as a mother. Reflecting on motherhood, the doting parent once shared, “I love being a mother. It’s amazing. The unconditional love that you feel for your child or children, I mean, it’s like nothing else.”

Motherhood has been central to Barbra’s life, but she found love again at 50 when she met actor James Brolin on a blind date. Ever direct, her first words to him were, “Who [expletitive] up your hair?” While some might have been put off, James was charmed, later affirming that he found her honesty “very” attractive.” The couple has been married for 26 years.

Barbra Streisand’s life reflects her unwavering authenticity, from her cherished relationship with her son Jason to the unexpected love she found with James. Her journey as a mother, partner, and artist continues to inspire, showing the beauty of resilience and true connection.
