Goldie Hawn Reflects on Why She and Kurt Russell Have Never Married
Goldie Hawn is no longer fazed by the questions about her longtime relationship with Kurt Russell.The A-list pair, who have been together since 1983, have long fielded inquiries about their marital status, with many questioning why they won't just tie the knot already. The latest to pose the question to Hawn is CNN's Chris Wallace, who sat down with the actress for an interview, posted this week, and asked again, point blank.«Why we get married? Isn’t that a better question?» Hawn fired back.The reality of the situation, Hawn explained, is that both she and Russell already had experiences with marriages ending poorly when they got together in the '80s. Hawn was married twice, first to performer and director Gus Trikonis from 1969-73, and then to musician Bill Hudson from 1976-82 — with whom she shares two children, actors Oliver and Kate Hudson.For his part, Russell was married to actress Season Hubley from 1979-83, and the pair shares a son, Boston.Hawn and Russell went on to have a son together, Wyatt Russell, in 1986, but she said that they never wanted to put their new, blended family through the pain of divorce again.«When it doesn’t work out, it ends up to be big business,» Hawn said.
