Goldie Hawn Says Kurt Russell Still Makes Her Feel in Love After 43 Years

Goldie Hawn says her long relationship with Kurt Russell still feels full of affection. During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the actress spoke warmly about her partner of 43 years, telling the host that she still finds him handsome and that he continues to make her happy. Hawn also praised Russell’s personality, sense of humor and infectious laugh. She recalled a recent trip back from New York, when he was listening to something through headphones and laughed so loudly that she had to remind him not to disturb the other passengers. The story, she suggested, was part of what makes him so endearing to her. She also called him a wonderful father. The couple’s story began long before they became partners. They first met in 1966 while working on The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band. Hawn was 21 and Russell was 16. Hawn later said she found him cute, but considered him too young at the time. Their paths crossed again in 1983 on the set of Swing Shift, and their relationship became romantic. Russell once described their first date as taking an unexpected turn at Hawn’s house, which was being renovated. The two later appeared together in the 1987 romantic comedy Overboard, one of their best-known films as a pair. Their son, Wyatt Russell, was born in 1986 and is now an actor. The family also includes Hawn’s children Oliver and Kate Hudson, from her marriage to musician Bill Hudson, and Russell’s son Boston, from his marriage to actress Season Hubley. Hawn and Russell have spoken about the importance of family and the happiness their children and grandchildren bring them. They have remained together without marrying, and Hawn’s latest comments offer a glimpse of the affection she says is still there.
