Kurt and Goldieโs relationship shows that what works for all might not work for some, and they have proven their unconventional choice to be effective so far. However, their relationship has not been without hiccups. There had been rumors of a split between them years ago, but the couple kept it together and debunked them. A source revealed that the couple only grew closer after the โturbulent split.โ
โIt doesnโt take much for them to kiss and make upโฆ,โ the source said.
The couple prefers to stay dating
Kurt shared that while they dated for only a few years in the โ80s, people already started anticipating their marriage. โAt that time, we constantly got asked, โWhen are you going to get married? Why arenโt you married?โ And we were like, โWhy does anybody care about that?โโ Kurt recalled. “Weโd asked our kids if they cared about it. They didnโt. We didnโt.โ
Goldie added that marriage does not equate to a lasting union. โItโs not about the marriage. Itโs about the people and the relationship and the will to stay together,โ she said.
The Russell-Hawn blended family
Kurt and Goldie prefer to keep a private family life with their kids. Goldie had a daughter from her previous marriage to Bill Hudson, and Kurt has been a father figure to her since childhood. Hudson has previously remarked on her step-father, calling him a โdevoted amazing father.โ โLucky us! Love you, Pa!โ Kate Hudson wrote.
Goldie also praised her partner for making their blended family work by loving Kate and their son Wyatt seamlessly. โHow can I explain the gratitude and love I feel for the greatest father who has given us all so much in this life,โ Goldie gushed.
The celebrity couple enjoys being grandparents to Kate and Wyattโs seven children. โBeing a grandmother is amazing; I love it. It brings incredible joy. Family is so important,โ Goldie said.
