Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been the epitome of a Hollywood power couple for decades, yet they have never felt the need to formalize their union with marriage. Their love story, which began in 1983, is a testament to the fact that a lifelong commitment doesn’t require a piece of paper.
In a 1991 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Hawn revealed that she and Russell had a private ceremony, but it wasn’t a wedding. She joked that they were “far, far too together” for marriage. Instead, Russell gifted her a ring to commemorate their time together.
Hawn has always been candid about her views on marriage. She believes that it’s not the institution that defines a couple’s love, but rather the relationship itself. Russell shares her sentiments, stating that a marriage certificate wouldn’t have added anything to their bond.
Their decision not to get married hasn’t been influenced by their previous experiences. Hawn was married twice before, to Gus Trikonis and Bill Hudson, with whom she has two children, Oliver and Kate. Russell was married to Season Hubley, and they have a son, Boston. Together, Hawn and Russell have a son, Wyatt.
Their children have followed different paths. Wyatt and Oliver are happily married, while Kate’s marriage ended in divorce. However, Kate has found love again and got engaged to Danny Fujikawa in 2021.
Hawn and Russell’s love has only grown stronger over the years. In a heartfelt birthday post for Russell’s 70th birthday, Hawn wrote, “No, we never got married, but one thing that continues to grow is our love.” Their bond is a testament to the fact that true love can thrive without the need for formalities.
Their relationship has been filled with laughter, adventure, and a deep understanding of each other. As Hawn once said, “I also fell in like” with Russell, and that affection has only grown stronger over the years.
