• Fans expressed concern over Boyd's recent appearance.

Celebrated for his dynamic roles in action-packed films, Josh Brolin shares a captivating off-screen narrative. His wife, Kathryn Boyd, recently sparked a wave of concern among fans due to her weight loss.

Brolin, a versatile actor with an illustrious career, is no stranger to the limelight. He has starred in several films including "Dune: Part One" and its sequel, "Dune: Part Two" which premiered in February 2024.

The California native has garnered wave reviews from fans for his stint in the movie franchise. Fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter), and other online mediums to praise him for his role as Gurney Halleck.

“Josh is so handsome,” wrote an online user. Another echoed, “Josh is very handsome, I don’t care about this poem, but he is good-looking and [a] great actor.”

Someone else commented, “I love Josh Brolin, he is (still) so hot! He was even hotter looking together with Diane Lane. Both from another planet, I guess.”

“Does Josh Brolin age? He looks fantastic," said one person. Another penned on X, “Best actor in Dune for me was Josh Brolin that man was ready to die for Oscar loved it.”

“Josh Brolin delivers some of the best line reads in Dune. Still get chills when he hits “BRUTAL” so hard,” commented one user. One other wrote, “The more I read Dune the more I realise how Josh Brolin as gurney hallick is possibly the best casting in film history.”

“[I] saw Dune 2 last night in IMAX and I have to say it’s up there with best sequels ever made. Incredible filmmaking with some great performances. Shoutout to you Josh Brolin. MAY THY KNIFE CHIP AND SHATTER,” someone expressed.

Another lamented, “I don't think anyone else is going to think this, but my favorite character/performance in the Dune movies is Josh Brolin as Gurney. He's just so freaking cool and rougish. I also think Brolin is one of the best modern actors, so I'm likely biased. Remember him in Denis' Sicario?”

Meanwhile, Brolin's personal life, particularly his marriage to Boyd, who was once his assistant for nearly two years, has captured the public's interest, paralleling his professional achievements.

The Hollywood couple's evolution from professional collaboration to a deep personal bond is a testament to their unique romantic connection.

The romance between Brolin and Boyd blossomed under Hollywood's watchful eyes in March 2013, following Brolin's divorce announcement from his second wife, Diane Lane. It was finalized in November 2013.

Fast forward to February 2014, Brolin and his new love Boyd, were spotted packing up on the PDA in Rome while touring the Eternal City. Their relationship moved swiftly from professional to personal, engaging fans and the media alike.

Brolin and Boyd got engaged in April 2015, his rep confirmed at the time. Later that month, Boyd debuted her beautiful engagement ring while attending Brolin's "Sicario" movie premiere at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

In the weeks that followed, the lovebirds headed down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where they were seen celebrating their engagement at Bar Esquina with a group of friends.

An eyewitness recalled seeing the couple among their circle of friends, being affectionate with each other. Boyd reportedly sat on Brolin's lap throughout the entire evening. "They were kissing each other a lot, had their arms around each other. Super affectionate all night," the observer revealed.

Boyd and Brolin officially married in September 2016 in Cashiers, North Carolina, and their union was celebrated among friends and family, including Barbra Streisand and James Brolin.

In a November 2017 interview, Brolin gushed about married life with Boyd. Still in the honeymoon phase at the time, he could not pinpoint exactly what he loved the most about being her husband.

"Oh, everything. When it’s good, it’s good. When it’s not good, it’s not good," said Brolin," while alluding that he enjoys being around the mother of his kids.

Like her spouse, Boyd is also part of show business as an actress and producer. She is best known for appearing in "Everest" (2015) and "Reptile" (2023). On her Instagram account, Boyd also describes herself as an entrepreneur and a photographer.

Announcing their expectancy of a baby girl in May 2018, Brolin and Boyd embarked on a new chapter. The father-to-be revealed he and his spouse would be starting their family on Instagram.

"There’s a new sheriff in town, and she’s no bigger than a sweet potato. Hang on to your hats," the movie star captioned his social media post. He shared photos of him and the expectant mom in the outdoors, with her growing belly visible.

Brolin got candid about starting a family with Boyd in a June 2018 interview. “I’ve been a parent for so long, since as long as I can remember basically. I got out of high school, two years later we had a kid. So I don’t really know life without having kids," he said of his children from his first marriage. The proud father further added that he is “massively looking forward to” meeting his daughter.

Brolin, a father to Trevor and Eden whom he shares with his first wife, Alice Adair, embraced the expansion of his family with the birth of Westlyn Reign Brolin in 2018.

The proud parent posted a video of the newborn smiling on Instagram and wrote, "We are blessed to the core." Brolin and Boyd's journey into parenthood once again was warmly received by fans, marking a joyous period in their lives.

In July 2020, Brolin announced online that he and Boyd were expecting another child together. He shared a picture of the couple's eldest child hugging her mother's tummy.

Brolin reflected on fatherhood in December 2022, sharing a throwback photo of him holding his first child, Trevor. The devoted parent paid tribute to all his offspring including his youngest child, daughter Chapel. He became a dad at 19 and more than three decades later, is now a father of four.

Months after gushing over all of his kids, Brolin expressed appreciation for the females in his life: his wife Boyd, and eldest daughter Eden, including Westlyn and Chapel.

In addition to being parents, the couple attends public events together. Brolin and his current wife Boyd attended the movie premiere of "Dune: Part Two," in February 2024. In the sci-fi/adventure franchise, Brolin stars alongside Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, and Rebecca Ferguson.

The pair posed for pictures with their arms wrapped around each other. Brolin donned an all-black suit while Boyd opted for a beige two-piece attire featuring a crop top and a long skirt, showing off her physique.

Boyd's recent public appearance alongside her husband has led to fans expressing concern over her apparent weight loss. The observation from online users has triggered a plethora of worries and speculation about the mother of two's health and well-being.

"Has K lost more weight? I can see her bones,” asked one person. One other commented, “Was she sick recently? Seems like she lost a lot of weight.” “She just changed. I’m worrying about her weight loss,” said another.

Their story, interweaving love, commitment, and shared experiences, deeply resonates with fans. As Brolin and Boyd navigate the complexities of life in the public eye, their bond remains a powerful narrative of resilience and dedication.
