Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been the epitome of a Hollywood power couple for decades. Despite being together since 1983, they have never felt the need to formalize their union with marriage. In fact, Hawn has been quite vocal about her views on marriage, and it’s clear that she and Russell are perfectly content with their decision.
In a 1991 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Hawn revealed that she and Russell had a private ceremony, but it was not a wedding. She joked that they were “far, far too together” for marriage. Russell had even given her a sparkling ring to commemorate their time together, which she wore on her wedding finger.
Hawn’s views on marriage are refreshing and pragmatic. She believes that a piece of paper doesn’t define a couple’s love for each other. She and Russell have always felt that their commitment to each other is what truly matters. As Hawn put it, “It is a piece of paper; it is a vow, but it is a vow that you take every day. You don’t stop taking it once. You take it every day.”
Russell has echoed similar sentiments, stating that for people like them, a marriage certificate wouldn’t have created anything that they didn’t already have. It’s clear that their love and commitment to each other are what truly matter.
Both Hawn and Russell have been married before, and they have a blended family with four children. Despite their children getting married and having kids of their own, Hawn and Russell have never felt pressured to tie the knot. They’re happy with their decision and are enjoying their life together.
In fact, Hawn has said that she can’t imagine life without Russell, and she’s grateful for their enduring love. On Russell’s 70th birthday, she posted a sweet message on Instagram, joking about how they’ve never gotten married but their love continues to grow.
Hawn’s daughter, Kate Hudson, has also found love again and is engaged to Danny Fujikawa. While marriage may not be in the cards for Hawn and Russell, it’s clear that their love story is one for the ages.
