Goldie Hawn reveals real reason why she never married Kurt Russell: Inside their 41-year love story.
Hollywood seems constantly full of love. However, it’s well known that many relationships in show business don’t last that long. Fortunately, that’s not been the case with Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. No, they share a bond that seems unbreakable.
The two have been together for almost four decades, and the story of how it all started is lovely. Yet they never married, and to this day, the couple has no plans to tie the knot officially.
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell – love story
One couple that makes me happier than the rest, however, is Kurt Russell, 73, and Goldie Hawn, 78.
Goldie and Kurt have been together for 41 years. They’ve been superstars on the big screen for a long time and have shared a loving relationship and devotion to their family.
The iconic and long-lasting couple’s commitment to each other is remarkable, and their love story through the years is even more incredible.
Goldie and Kurt first met in 1966 while filming The Only and Only, Genuine Original Family Band. Hawn recalled the meeting in an interview with BBC Radio 4.
“I was 21 and he was 16,” Hawn said. “I thought he was adorable, but he was much too young. Then, years later we met up again, and I remembered that I liked him very much when I first met him. We both said we would never go out with another actor so it just shows you never can tell.”
However, they weren’t ready to start dating.

Goldie Hawn married actor Gus Trikonis in 1969, but the couple separated after four years.
She was granted a divorce in June 1976 and married Bill Hudson some weeks later – a marriage that lasted six years.
How did Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell meet?
Why? Well, Goldie Hawn has a very clear explanation.
In 1983, Russell and Hawn met again while filming Swing Shift.
This time, the charming and handsome Russell tried to impress Hawn with the pick-up line: “Man, you’ve got a great figure.”
“I was severely hungover and I didn’t know Goldie at all outside of having worked with her those many years before,” Russell said in a 2017 interview with Conan O’Brien.
“I just didn’t have in my mind what I was going to see, and she had a great body. So the first thing that came out was, ‘Man, you’ve got a great figure.’ It came out quickly and it could’ve gone wrong, and she said, ‘Why thank you.’”
At the time, Goldie had two children from her marriage with Bill Hudson. Her son Oliver was born in 1976, and her daughter Kate was born in 1979.
While filming Swing Shift, Kurt and Goldie went out together one night after work. He brought her to The Playboy Club, where they spent hours and hours talking. Afterward, they decided to move the party to a new house that Hawn had bought. The only problem? She didn’t have the keys, which resulted in the two breaking in.
