Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell appear to have been in love for decades but have never married. Yet, the pair claims that their choice was not made lightly.
The two met on the set of “The One and Only, Authentic, Original Family Band,” which came out when Hawn was 22 and Russell was 17.
Russell’s mom predicted Hawn would earn the part after witnessing a group of ladies audition.
In an interview in 2012, Hawn, 77, remembered their encounter on set, saying Russell was adorable, but he was far too young.
They met almost 17 years later when shooting “Swing Shift” in 1983, one year after she divorced her previous husband, Bill Hudson, with whom she had two children, Oliver Hudson and Kate Hudson.
She told that she recalled liking him a lot when she first met him. But they both vowed we’d never date another actor, so it just goes to show one never knows.
They began dating shortly after reuniting and had their son, Wyatt, in 1986.
Through movies like “Overboard” and being parents, they have shown that they are always there for each other and care about each other. They have, though, remained steadfast in their decision not to marry.
Nevertheless, when presenting the trophy for best directing at the 1989 Academy Awards, the pair teased the notion of getting married in a line they wrote since they didn’t like what was written for them.
Everyone thought that their conversation was genuine, but Russell confessed 30 years later that it was all made up.
Despite the fact that they never married, the pair is still going strong. In 2020, Hawn spoke out about their years-long romance, stating, that one simply had to want to be together. She doesn’t believe there’s any other option than to do it.
It’s not about the marriage, she went on to say. It’s about the individuals and their connection, and the determination to remain together. And that’s a significant one since one can have it if one wants it. One has to give things up, but the pleasure and thrill of being together and stroking someone’s toes at night is a very lovely sensation.
In a June 2022 Instagram post, Hawn posted a snapshot of the two of them kissing.
Russell, according to Hawn, is extraordinarily smart, creative, and collaborative.
And he’s truly fantastic, she added.
