For actor Josh Brolin, the third time is the charm. In his case, this third time is his third marriage and by all accounts, with Kathryn Boyd Brolin it is meant to be. While we know quite a bit about The Goonies and Marvel actor, we don’t know too much about Kathryn. So let’s see what we can find out about Kathryn Boyd Brolin.

KATHRYN BOYD IS 35 YEARS OLD AND WAS BORN IN GEORGIA

Kathryn Boyd Brolin

Kathryn Boyd was born on October 12, 1987, in Atlanta, Georgia. She grew up in Atlanta, attending The Lovett School. After she graduated there, Kathryn went to the University of Georgia where she majored in magazine journalism. She would eventually receive her Bachelor of Arts degree and while at the University of Georgia, Boyd also studied photojournalism, which would play a big part in her future.

As she was growing up in Georgia, one thing was becoming perfectly clear – Kathryn Boyd had the looks and physique to become a model. While her eventual 5’ 11” frame would cause some issues finding pants that would fit her properly, Boyd would also eventually have the perfect solution to this problem.

KATHRYN BOYD BROLIN WORKED IN HOLLYWOOD AS A PRODUCTION ASSISTANT

After graduating from the University of Georgia, Kathryn Boyd Brolin ventured to Italy where she attended the Santa Reparata International School of Art located in Florence, Italy.

There, she studied photography, again, something that would help shape her eventual career. Eventually, though, she would return to the United States and get that career started in earnest.

Kathryn Boyd Brolin began her career in Hollywood in 2011. She started as a production assistant to the Unit Production Manager on the TV series Past Life. From there, her PA duties turned to film and the first feature she worked on was the 2011 remake of Footloose which starred Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, and Dennis Quaid.

In 2012, she would then be the personal assistant to Ben Stiller on his comedy, The Watch, but it was the following year that Kathryn Boyd would meet the man of her future.

KATHRYN BOYD BROLIN MET JOSH BROLIN ON THE SET OF OLDBOY

It’s a story that’s as old as time, well, for as long as movies have been made. Actor meets assistant on set. Actor and said assistant begin their torrid romance. Actor and said assistant decide to tie the knot. Okay, this may be an oversimplification of how things went between Josh Brolin and Kathryn Boyd, and it may not be fair to the couple, but it is basically how it happened.

Kathryn Boyd met Josh Brolin on the set of his 2013 film, Oldboy, where Boyd was his personal assistant. Shortly after filming ended, the two began to date. For two years, the relationship continued to build. In 2015, Brolin proposed, and Kathryn Boyd said yes.

JOSH BROLIN WAS MARRIED WHEN THEY FIRST GOT TOGETHER

What made the meeting and eventual dating a bit iffy at the start was that Josh Brolin was still technically married. He was on his second marriage, this one to actress Diane Lane, though the two had been living separately by this time. Brolin and Lane married in 2004 and the marriage did not produce any children.

Brolin does have two children from his first marriage to actress Alice Adair. They were married from 1988 to 1994 and their two children, son Trevor and daughter Eden are both actors. In fact, Eden joined the cast of Yellowstone as Mia in the hit series’ third season and actually has a pretty impressive list of credits.

After three years of being together, Kathryn Boyd finally became Kathryn Boyd Brolin on September 24, 2016. She married Josh Brolin in a small, romantic ceremony in Cashiers, North Carolina amongst family and friends that included Josh’s father, James Brolin, and wife Barbra Streisand.

Also on board at the ceremony were A-listers Bradley Cooper and Matt Damon. And the folk-rock band the Avett Brothers, who were in the area at the time on tour, even stopped by the reception to crank out a few tunes for the newlyweds.

KATHRYN BOYD BROLIN AND JOSH BROLIN HAVE TWO CHILDREN

Kathryn Boyd Brolin transitioned from personal assistant to actress about a year before she and Josh Brolin got married. Her last PA gig was on Josh Brolin’s 2015 adventure film, Everest.

That same year, she found small parts in films such as Bad Company, Rideshare, and Ride to Vegas. And while she was building her acting career and her husband continued his fine string of films (Sicario, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2), there was one thing Kathryn Boyd Brolin was ready for – a family.

Kathryn Boyd Brolin had her first child with Josh in 2018. They named her Westlyn Reign and Josh introduced her to the world via his Instagram.

In it, he said, “Dearest Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce our little girl Westlyn Reign Brolin (Bean). Mama Kathryn was stellar during this miracle birth and Bean is a flawless gem through and through. We are blessed to the core and appreciate so much the love and support during this pregnancy from ALL who have partaken in our journey, directly and/or indirectly.”

He accompanied this caption with a video that can be seen below.

The couple waited two years to have their second child and as miracles would have it, Chapel Grace Brolin was born on Christmas Day 2020. Again, daddy Brolin took to his Instagram to announce that he and Kathryn Boyd Brolin had welcomed their second child.

Along with a cute picture of their new little one, Josh wrote: “Everywhere we have traveled the one place Kathryn and I always found a great solace in were chapels. Not being particularly religious, but a God feeling heavily inundating our lives, chapels have always been the sanctuaries where we felt most connectedly free to give thanks. Chapel Grace is, to us, a manifestation of that celestial feeling that was always felt as we meandered and knelt.”

SHE IS THE FOUNDER OF MIDHEAVEN DENIM

Kathryn Boyd Brolin is not only a mom, a model, an actress, and a producer (yes, she’s done that too) but she is also a business owner. In 2017, before she became a mom, Kathryn founded a fashion brand she calls Midheaven Denim.

This business came about because of her long-time need for clothing that would fit her long legs. She felt there were more women out there with this issue, so her brand caters to those long-legged ladies.

KATHRYN BOYD BROLIN IS ON INSTAGRAM

Kathryn Boyd Brolin remains busy. She has her young daughters that definitely keep her active, she has her business that keeps her sharp, and she continues to act in movies every now and then.

In 2021, Kathryn Boyd Brolin starred in the film The Shallow as well as the short, The Girlfriend Experience. Up next for her is the film, Reptile.
