Relationship with Josh Brolin: Ex-lovers but Still Friends
Adair was 22 and Brolin was 20 when they tied the knot. Maybe it was the tinder age that was the reason behind their fast marriage and even much faster divorce. The couple decided to call it to quit in 1994 after just 6 years of marriage.
Together they have a son named Trevor Brolin who was born when Adair was still 22. Later in 1994, Eden was born. Just like their parents as well as grandfather, both the kids have laid foot in the entertainment world. Well, who can blame them when you have “Thanos” as your dad.
Even after 3 decades of their divorce, Adair and Josh find comfort in their friendship with each other. In an interview, Brolin revealed how they have still been able to maintain a healthy relationship.
She [Alice Adair] was the mother of my children. I’m still best friends with her. I ended up having two amazing kids, so it turned out OK.

Alice’s Children With Josh Brolin: Trevor & Eden
Alice is a doting mother to two kids, Trevor Brolin and Eden Brolin. Her eldest son Trevor was born on 26th June 1988 in Los Angeles, California. In an interview, Brolin revealed all the pressure he had to deal with during the teen pregnancy.
“I was acting in a TV series called ‘Private Eye’. And I was getting ready to have my first kid. And everyone told me I shouldn’t. Well, I was an idiot. A 19-year-old guy riding on a Harley-Davidson, so embarrassingly dumb. But she got pregnant and that’s what happened.”
Trevor and Eden both have already secured their position in the entertainment industry just like their parents. Born in a family of actors, he was destined to make a career in the Hollywood industry.
