Goldie Hawn and her longtime partner Kurt Russell shared a kiss in their recent Valentine’s Day photo. In the caption, Hawn wrote, “🎶 Love is a Many- Splendored thing 🎶 Happy Anniversary Loverboy ❤️🔥.”
The couple spoke to People Magazine about their relationship back in 2020, emphasizing their secret to lasting love. “You’ve just got to want to be together,” she said at the time. “I don’t think there’s any way other than do it.”

Russell chimed in with his thoughts, too, saying, “For people like us, the marriage certificate wasn’t going to create anything that otherwise we wouldn’t have. I don’t know. 40 years isn’t enough to finally say, ‘Well I guess…’ ”

“Our children got married,” Hawn interjects. “I mean, they didn’t not get married. Oliver’s very happily married and Wyatt’s very happily married. Katie got married once and that didn’t work, and she’s with this most amazing human and I don’t know if she’ll marry again. The point is that we all tried marriage and sometimes marriage doesn’t work.”
She continues, “It’s okay. It’s not about the marriage. It’s about the people and the relationship, and the will to stay together. And that’s a big one because if you want it, you can have it. You’ve got to give things up, but the joy and the excitement of being together and touching the toes of somebody at night is really a nice feeling.”
Funny enough, it was actually Hawn that convinced her son, Oliver Hudson, to propose to his now-wife as he originally didn’t want to get married. “I thought that the perfect relationship was Kurt and Mom,” he said at the time. “I mean, I was a child of divorce, that didn’t work, and then I saw this working.”
It just goes to show ya, sometimes things are perfect the way they are.
