What Lesley Ann Warren Said about Her Rocky Marriage to Jon Peters and Barbra Streisand

In 1967, Warren married former hair and make-up stylist turned film producer Jon Peters. Before divorcing in 1975, the ex-couple had a son – Christopher Peters, who, like his parents, started a career in the entertainment industry as an actor and producer.

When Warren became a mother, she was absolutely thrilled. During a Q&A session with Closer magazine, she disclosed her feelings on motherhood:

“I was madly in love with [Christopher] in utero, and that’s remained the same. I can’t imagine my life without him. [Though] it was challenging because I was a single mother working out logistics, I’m so proud to be his mom [and] we’re extremely close. He has a wonderful wife [whom] I love [but] they don’t want to have [kids], which is a drag because I love babies!”

During the time Peters was married to Warren, he had met Streisand in 1973 when he was asked to create a wig for her comedy “For Pete’s Sake.” Streisand and Peters hit it off immediately, and reportedly, prior to their encounter, Peters had expressed to several people that he wanted to cut Streisand’s hair so badly that he was willing to work for free.

After spotting a hair-do at a party that the “Yentl” talent really liked, she was given Peters’ contact details, and the meeting was booked shortly after. The time was set, although Streisand arrived an hour late to the appointment. A frustrated Peters had just decided to leave when the star appeared, and he found himself immediately enthralled with her presence.

Warren got her groove back after her divorce and was largely unapologetic about it.

A romantic relationship that was described as “cosmic” by Streisand herself began to blossom between the pair. The duo even went on to have a collaborative relationship outside of a romantic one and worked together on productions like the 1976 remake of “A Star Is Born.”

Peters had such a deep love for Streisand to the point where her name still gets brought up by him in recent interviews today. In a 2017 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Peters shared that she remains the love of his life:

“She was the most captivating, interesting, [and] creative person I have ever met. I will always owe her for giving me the life that I’ve had.”

Several reports stipulate that Peters had allegedly started dating Streisand while he was still married to Warren. When asked about her relationship with Streisand after the scandal broke, Warren said:

“She was with [him] for ten years and [even] helped raise Christopher, and her son was at my house. She [is aware] that I’m a gigantic fan [and I even] went to see her when I was sixteen but didn’t get to meet her until she started dating Jon. We [had] talked about our children and [the way in which] we hoped the other would respectfully help [raise them, and] I have tremendous love and respect for her.”

Despite the belief and accounts of many claiming that Peters was not divorced before dating Streisand, Warren maintains that she had left him first. She said that she had to leave the relationship to take care of herself and revealed that in an effort to keep a friendship, she and Streisand make it a point not to broach specific discussion topics in conversations.

How Lesley Ann Warren Fell in Love at First Sight with Her Husband, Ron Taft

After divorcing Peters, Warren was free to live the life she wanted, and her career continued to soar.

By the time 2000 rolled around, Warren found her second chance at love in her current husband of 23 years, American actor and assistant director Ron Taft. The happy couple met each other in a hair salon, and Warren fondly remembers the love at first sight-encounter:

“I said, ‘https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/lesley-ann-warren-recalls-the-first-time-meeting-husband-ron-taft/?’ [and] he said, ‘I know who you are.’ He left and [returned] with a note for me, but I was still there. He asked if he could call me, and I never do this with people I don’t know, but I said yes. It was love at first sight.”

Taft and Warren have been inseparable ever since they first met. According to the “Pure Country” talent, the difference between her two marriages could not be anymore vastly distinct:

“[This marriage] couldn’t be more diametrically opposed. I am not who I was when I got married at 20, and there’s so much that I don’t want in my life anymore that that marriage encapsulated. It’s utterly different, and I worked on having this for a long time.”
