In August 2001, she officially announced her engagement with actor Josh Brolin. Before that, there were two boyfriends Taylor Hawkins and Matt Damon. In October of the same year, it was announced that the relationship with her boyfriend had broken. One of the reasons for claiming to break up with her boyfriend is that her stepmother Barbra Streisand repeatedly tried to interfere with her wedding.
