Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s romance began in 1966 during the filming of “The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band.” Although there was an immediate attraction between them, they did not pursue it due to an age gap. Both went on to marry and have children with other partners before fate brought them back together in 1983 on the set of “Swing Shift.”
A Memorable First Date
Their first date was notably unconventional. After spending time at the Playboy Club, they headed to Hawn’s new house. In a twist of fate, they realized they had forgotten the key and had to break into the house, an experience that marked the beginning of their deep and enduring connection.
A Unique Relationship Philosophy
Hawn and Russell emphasize their profound “liking” for each other as a cornerstone of their relationship, considering it even more crucial than love. Despite their long-lasting partnership, they have chosen not to marry and have no plans to do so. Hawn has even mentioned that had they married, a divorce might have been inevitable.
The Secret to Their Lasting Bond
The couple attributes the success of their relationship to their ability to balance reliance on each other with a strong sense of independence. Over nearly forty years together, their partnership has proven that a deep connection and mutual respect can forge a lasting and fulfilling relationship, demonstrating that love and liking can indeed create a remarkable bond.
