The last time we saw Josh Brolin and Diane Lane in paparazzi photos, Josh looked annoyed and Diane seemed mildly amused. That was before Josh was supposedly busted cheating, with the details published in last week’s In Touch. Josh and Diane were photographed out together earlier this week, and they were both smiling and Josh was hugging Diane in a show of solidarity. (The photos are exclusive to INF and we can’t post them, but you can see them in the latest In Touch with the Gosselin’s split on the cover) Maybe nothing happened between Josh and that woman who spent the night with him in New Orleans in a “private location,” maybe Josh convinced Diane nothing happened, or maybe she knows he’s stepping out on her and has decided to put up with it. Whatever is going on with them, they’re still together and they want us to know that everything is fine.
In Touch claims in their follow-up story this week that Josh’s stepmother Barbra Streisand convinced Diane to make her marriage work:
Diane Lane is vowing to stick by her husband, Josh Brolin, even after he was caught red-handed with another woman, and it’s her mother-in-law, Barbara Streisand, who is encouraging her to fight for her marriage. As In Touch revealed, Josh was caught getting cozy in New Orlands with local Melissa Green, and even though Josh, 41, insisted to Diane that it was nothing more than harmless flirting, an insider says that the… actress still has her doubts.
“Diane loves her husband more than anything, but she’s fed up with his bad-boy behavior,” the insider says. “This is not the first time she’s heard stories of his wandering eye.”
The insider says that Diane, 44, is now planning to spend more time in New Orleans with Josh while his finishes filming the movie Jonah Hex, an idea suggested by Barbra….
“Diane wants to make it work for the kids.”

Did Josh cheat on Diane and get caught? In Touch had plenty of evidence that there was more than just harmless flirting. Josh was photographed with the woman at night at a bar, and they were both photographed leaving a building together the next morning. A witness supposedly saw the other woman Melissa, 30, sit on Josh’s lap and make out with him at the bar. If all these details are true, it looks like Josh got busted cheating. It’s hard to imagine any other scenario considering that they were photographed outside the same building the next day looking guilty. It’s possible they were staying in separate rooms, but then why did they leave at the same time?
It looks like Diane is standing by Josh, though. They each have children from earlier marriages. Josh, 41, has son Trevor, 20, and daughter Eden, 14, from his marriage to Alice Adair, which was from 1988 to 1992. Diane, 44, has daughter Eleanor, 15, from her marriage to Christopher Lambert from 1988 to 1994. Given how close Eleanor and Eden are in age they could be good friends as well as step sisters.
