Though James, 74, claims he immediately knew that Barbra was 'the one,' it took the "Funny Girl" star a little bit longer to decipher how she felt for him, she admitted.
"It took me a couple of months," she told Meredith, adding she doesn't remember when she fell in love with James because it seemed to just happen naturally over time.
And now, after 16 years of marriage, the couple are happier than ever, Barbra revealed.
