Her posts are filled with heartwarming photographs that highlight her affection for her grandchildren, frequently showcasing her beloved dogs alongside the family moments. As the couple approaches their 28th wedding anniversary, the joy of family appears to be at the forefront of their lives.
In a touching post from March 2020, Streisand shared a delightful photograph featuring her granddaughter Westlyn. She noted Westlyn’s early milestone of saying “hat,” mirroring how her son Jason Gould, from her previous marriage to actor Elliott Gould, had also uttered the same word.

Family dynamics are undoubtedly important to Streisand, who often uses her platform to celebrate her loved ones.
The actor’s wife, Kathryn Boyd Brolin, has also shared special moments between Streisand and Westlyn. In one charming image taken in October 2020, Streisand and Brolin were caught sharing a warm moment with their granddaughter as they exited their car. Streisand expressed her gratitude to Kathryn and Josh for the joy they have brought into their lives.
Humour often accompanies Streisand’s parenting style, as shown in a January 2020 post featuring her spoon-feeding Westlyn from a kitchen drawer, while her dogs lounged nearby. Such snapshots embody the fun and light-hearted nature that Streisand brings to her role as a grandmother.
Interestingly, one of her grandchildren, Chapel Brolin, has been portrayed as Streisand’s “youngest fan.” In a sweet photograph, Chapel is seen cherishing one of Streisand’s albums, “Release Me 2,” highlighting a bond that transcends generations.
On another occasion, Streisand celebrated a special moment with both granddaughters, Westlyn and Chapel, displaying matching bracelets. The image exemplifies the generational connections that the family cherishes and has been shared with joy on social media. “Matching bracelets…across generations!” she wrote, drawing attention to their shared bond.
The close-knit family has also been spotted sharing meals together, as seen in a photograph where Streisand beams with happiness holding Westlyn after dining at a restaurant. Her caption reflected her joy at being surrounded by family, stating, “We were at a restaurant, but the most delicious thing was my granddaughter Westlyn!”
During Thanksgiving 2019, Streisand found herself surrounded by family, which included Westlyn and even a furry companion, capturing the essence of gratitude and family spirit. Holiday gatherings seem to be one of the many cherished aspects of her life as a grandmother.
Streisand’s grandchildren were also taken on educational excursions, as illustrated by a photo from a visit to the Martin Luther King Center. She lauded her stepson and daughter-in-law, expressing appreciation for the values they instil in their children. “What wonderful parents that take their children to see things that are important. Thank you guys,” she wrote, recognising their efforts to educate the youngsters.
Reflecting on intimate family moments, Streisand shared a portrait of herself with Westlyn, created as a gift from her daughter-in-law Kathryn. The touching painting captured a beautiful moment in the garden, and Streisand remarked on the significance of their connection, stating, “The artist named it ‘a special moment’ and it sure was…we are connected.”
