When you think of Hollywood power couples, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are names that instantly come to mind. These two legends have graced the big screen for decades, but it’s the life they’ve built together outside of the spotlight that truly shines. Their relationship, enduring ups and downs over the years, has proven to be “worth everything” and more. This dynamic duo, proud parents of four children—Oliver Hudson, Kate Hudson, Boston Russell, and Wyatt Russell—have shown us what it means to build a family that withstands the test of time.
A Conversation on Love and Family
Goldie Hawn, now 74, opened up during an appearance on CBS Sunday Morning on November 15, sharing her heartfelt thoughts on relationships. Sitting alongside her partner Kurt, 69, she expressed the reality of love and the beautiful chaos it brings. "You can actually survive a relationship in a way that when you get older, you think, 'I’m so glad I got through whatever period that was,'" she revealed. Goldie emphasized the importance of family, stating, "Because relationships go through periods, sometimes really hard times, but there’s nothing sweeter than having a family." Her words resonated with anyone who has ever navigated the complexities of love and commitment.
The Secret to Their Success
During their candid chat with host Tracy Smith, the First Wives Club star got personal about their iconic decades-long romance. Goldie and Kurt, who started dating in 1983, revealed that there’s no secret formula to maintaining their unbreakable bond. It’s all about wanting to be together. "For me, anyway… it’s that you both want to be together. I mean, you’ve got to want to be together," Goldie explained. Kurt agreed, sweetly holding her hand as he chimed in, "It’s up and down, it’s sideways, whatever. At the end of the day, how do you explain it? I don’t know. For me, it’s the same thing as what Goldie is saying — I call that love."

The Early Days
Even though Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are one of Hollywood’s strongest power couples, Kurt admitted he wasn’t in the best state of mind when they first met. Their paths crossed on the set of Swing Shift in 1983. "When I met Goldie, I was at a time in my life where I was definitely gonna put my worst foot forward when it came to any kind of relationship," he confessed. "I put my worst foot forward, and if you can handle that, then maybe there’s a chance of some reality there of us being together." Goldie, ever the optimist, argued that he was fun despite his claim of not being on his A-game because he was "horribly hungover" at the time.
