Barbra Streisand Grandkids Guide: Meet the Star’s Grandchildren

Barbra Streisand spent the last few decades traveling the globe as an iconic singer and actress, starring in Hollywood classics like Funny Girl, Yentl and The Way We Were. These days, though, she’s relishing her role as a doting grandma to her four grandchildren, Trevor, Eden, Westlyn and Chapel.

Barbra is a dedicated grandparent thanks to her stepson and husband James Brolin‘s child Josh Brolin, whom the actor shares with his ex-wife Jane Cameron Agee. Josh is the dad of his older kids, Trevor and Eden, with his former spouse Alice Adair, as well as his younger girls, Westlyn and Chapel, with wife Kathryn Boyd Brolin.

Ever since Barbra’s stepson introduced her to the world of being a grandmother, she’s absolutely adored watching her grandbabies grow up. “Oh, I love it, I love it,” the A Star Is Born actress told Parade in 2009, noting she doesn’t have to think twice about choosing her grandkids over her Hollywood career.

“Our granddaughter came over the other day, Josh’s daughter. [Eden is] the sweetest thing — she just wanted to spend time with us,” Barbra gushed. “I canceled all my appointments. I had a lawyer’s appointment and a business appointment and I said, ‘I can’t make it today.’ It’s so much fun to be with her. That’s more important now. More important than business.”

The film legends’ love for parenthood skyrocketed tenfold when her younger granddaughters came into her life. James once revealed how much his wife cherishes her role as a grandma, telling Closer that she turns into “just mush” whenever she’s around them.

“Barbra, by the way, these are not her blood grandchildren and she is just mush,” the Sweet Tooth star exclusively shared in August 2020. “She just turns to melted putty the minute … they talk on the phone. They send videos every other day of what the kid is doing. So we’re all very close.”

Opening up about the arrival of their youngest grandchild, Chapel, in December 2020, James said the lovebirds were “jumping” for joy when Josh and Kathryn told them they were having another baby. “You get another one like this one, there couldn’t be anything better!” he marveled, saying they can’t get enough of their “darling” little ones.

Trevor Brolin

The eldest of Barbra’s grandchildren is Trevor, who was born to his dad, Josh, and mom, Alice, on June 26, 1988. Trevor was introduced into Barbra’s life when she married Trevor’s grandfather, James, in 1998.

Considering Trevor comes from a family of actors, it’s no surprise he tested his own talents in Hollywood. Trevor is best known for his roles in 2008’s X, 2011’s All Kids Count and 2011’s Felt. Aside from acting, he’s a director, writer, cinematographer and producer.

In August 2020, James revealed their grandson pursued a new career as an electrician. The Marcus Welby, M.D. star told Closer that Trevor now lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Eden Brolin

Eden is Barbra’s oldest granddaughter, having arrived on November 30, 1994, to Josh and Alice. The former couple wed 1988 but called it quits shortly after Eden’s birth.

Since becoming Eden’s grandmother, Barbra has loved watching her follow in the family’s acting footsteps. According to IMDb, Eden is most famous for her role as Charlie Singer in the Beyond TV series and as Mia in the hit TV series Yellowstone. The I Dream Too Much actress has also appeared in other shows and films, including 2020’s Arkansas, 2019’s Blood Bound, 2016’s Emerald City and many more.

During his chat with Closer in August 2020, James gave a glimpse inside his bond with his older grandkids. “I think our relationship more is like fishing,” the actor teased, saying Trevor and Eden don’t typically come to him for help. “Yeah, no … I don’t know if anybody likes my advice.”

While he quipped they think of him as “old stupid, old pop,” he’s confident they pay attention to what he says. “I do hear them when I do talk,” he shared. “I hear them repeating what I said later without realizing it, so they did listen somewhat.”

Westlyn Reign Brolin

Westlyn was born on November 4, 2018. From the moment the toddler came into Barbara’s life, the star couldn’t help but go overboard with love. “She spoils the baby completely,” an insider told Closer in May 2019. “[Barbara] buys gifts online from all over the world. It’s kind of out of control, but cute. She loves babies, and she treasures Westlyn.”

Barbra is one to show off her love for Westlyn on social media, sharing the cutest photos of the little girl. In July 2020, the Broadway icon uploaded a snap of her granddaughter sitting on her lap, writing, “Our three doggies captivated by Westlyn.”

Chapel Grace Brolin

Barbara’s youngest grandchild, Chapel, was born on Christmas Day 2020. Days after Chapel’s birthday, Josh explained the meaning behind his fourth child’s name.

“Everywhere we have traveled, the one place Kathryn and I always found a great solace in were chapels,” he shared on social media. “Not being particularly religious, but a God-feeling has heavily inundated our lives and chapels have always been sanctuaries where we felt connectedly free to gives thanks. Chapel Grace is, to us, a manifestation of that celestial feeling that was always felt as we meandered and knelt.”

Considering Barbara and James were “jumping up and down” when they found out about the couple’s pregnancy with Chapel, it’s no surprise the actress is taking every chance she can to spend time with the youngster. In August 2021, Barbara uploaded the cutest photo of Chapel holding one of her albums, writing, “My youngest fan.”
