Relationships with many years of experience, and in addition successful ones, are rare in Hollywood. The rush of life and the constant interest of the media are not conducive to building lasting relationships. However, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are exceptions in this respect. The star couple has been creating a harmonious relationship and a wonderful patchwork family for 40 years. Although they never got married, they do not regret this decision. What is their recipe for happy love?
They met on the set of a Disney production. It wasn’t love at first sight
Their first meeting happened long before they became a couple. They first met on the set of The One Original Family Orchestra in 1968, in which Russell played the lead and Hawn played a supporting role. However, their relationship was purely professional. The 21-year-old actress was not interested in the 5-year-younger Disney star at the time and after participating in the production, they did not keep in touch.
After the premiere of the production, Goldie Hawn focused on career development. Not only did she appear in numerous comedies on the screen, but she also produced films and even tried to make a name for herself as a country music singer. Her private life has also started to fall into place. After an unsuccessful first, she married musician Bill Hudson, and the fruit of their relationship was two children, Kate and Oliver. During this time, Russell abandoned the film industry for several years in favor of a sports career. He played baseball and was successful in this discipline, but eventually an arm injury forced him to return to his old professional path. The actor returned to the screens and began working with director John Carpenter, which resulted in a series of successful films. Privately, he became involved with fellow artist Season Hubley, and shortly after their wedding, they welcomed a son, Boston, into the world.
15 years later, they starred together again in a movie. There was a spark between them during the casting
Their paths crossed again 15 years later, but this time at the casting for the film “Quick Change”. Hawn was already divorced from her second husband at the time, and Russell was just completing the divorce formalities. – Many years later we met again, I liked him and I remembered that I liked him very much before, when we met – the actress in one of the interviews. Russell, on the other hand, wasn’t at his best at the time. He didn’t take the divorce well and partied a lot. “I had a terrible hangover, I didn’t know her very well, I only knew that we used to work together. (…) – he said in an interview with Conan O’Brien. Despite this, an old acquaintance immediately liked him and proposed to her on a date. “When I saw her audition for the film, the first thing that came out of my mouth was ‘you have a great figure,'” he told a talk show.
The actress did not refuse, she was happy with the proposal to meet. Soon after, their first, long-awaited date took place. They hit it off right away and couldn’t take their eyes off each other. At the end of a pleasant evening, they decided to look at the house Hawn had purchased for herself and the children some time before. Although the property was already owned by her, she still has not officially received the keys. However, this was not a problem for them and they decided to break in. Concerned by the noise, neighbors quickly called the police. When law enforcement officers arrived on the scene, they found the acting couple in the bedroom.
They have been together for 40 years. They never decided to get married
From their first date, Hawn and Russell were inseparable. They were connected by a common passion, profession and a huge passion, which only grew stronger as time passed. The actress recalled that she was sure it was the one when Kurt met her children. A bond was created between them right away, and the star treated them with fatherly care. After two years of relationship, they even decided to have a child together. Hawn became pregnant quite quickly, and in 1986 their son, Wyatt, was born.
Although Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have been together for 40 years, they have never married. When they started dating, they both had bad experiences and did not want to repeat them in the next relationship. As the actress admitted in the program “Loose Women”, the lack of a wedding saved them from parting. “If I had married him, we would have been divorced a long time ago,” she said with a laugh in 2016. They both agree that marriage is not necessary for happiness, and the most important thing is to cultivate love and the desire to be together. “It’s not about marriage. It’s about people and the relationship and the desire to be together. (…) You just have to want to be together. I don’t think there’s any other way,” Hawn told People magazine.
