Gould and Streisand met during their Broadway careers and married in 1963, making the duo one of Hollywood's hottest couples of the time. They had one son, Jason, but as Streisand's fame surpassed Gould's, they didn't "grow together," Gould said, explaining the breakdown of their marriage to People. The two later divorced in 1971.

Gould met Bogart in 1969 while he was separated from Streisand. At the time, Bogart was 18 and Gould was 31. They married in 1973 and had two children, Samuel and Molly, but divorced two years later in 1975, according to The Independent. They married again in 1978, only to divorce a final time in 1989. 

Elliott's ex-wife Jennifer leads a private life
