During their time together, Gould came to be known as Mr. Streisand, in reference to Streisand's quickly ascending stardom at that time. How their relationship ended notwithstanding, Gould and Streisand became '60s style icons while together, and to this day, Gould has some fond memories of those early years together, as InStyle goes on to note. Referring to his time with Streisand, and their relationship as parents with their son, Jason, Gould said he recently told the singer (via "CBS Sunday Morning"), "We did great ... We made it very fast and nobody has what we have. There's you and me and our kid. We had a great life."
Referring to her marriage with Gould, the "Yentl "star said in 1973, just two years after they got divorced (via The New York Times), "Once you have loved someone, they become part of what you were and therefore part of what you are." Those warm feelings aside, by the late '60s, the pressures of stardom finally caught up with Gould and Streisand, and as a result, their marriage began to fall apart.
