Hollywood’s star-studded 2025 Oscars showcased not just the glitz and glamour of the film industry but also the enduring romance of beloved couple Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The pair walked the red carpet with undeniable chemistry, with Goldie, 79, turning heads in her stunning butter-yellow gown, adorned with jewels and elegantly draped, exuding both style and sophistication.
Kurt Russell, 73, matched her classic elegance donning a traditional tuxedo paired with his signature bowtie. The couple's joy was palpable, their smiles lighting up the dazzling affair at the Dolby Theatre on March 2, 2025. Hawn sported minimal jewelry, accentuating her radiant gown with a statement chain-link necklace and an exquisite 18-carat gold diamond ring. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders elegantly, completing her glamorous look, proving once again why she remains a fashion icon.
The evening held special significance for Hawn, who was set to present awards for the Animated Feature and Animated Short categories alongside Andrew Garfield. The Oscar winner, who took home the Best Supporting Actress statue for Cactus Flower back in 1970, shared light-hearted moments during rehearsals, laughing and bonding with Garfield as they prepped for their presenting duties.
This love story, thriving for over four decades, has captivated fans and admirers alike. Hawn and Russell, who began their romantic relationship back in February 1983, have blended their families—both share son Wyatt and have children from previous relationships. Hawn has two children, Oliver and Kate Hudson, from her marriage to Bill Hudson, and Russell shares his son Boston with ex-wife Season Hubley.
Reflecting on the secret to their long-lasting relationship, Hawn, speaking at MindUP's The Goldie Hawn Foundation charity event, emphasized the importance of intimacy, stating, "You have to have good sex. Because sex is something connects you and creates more belonging. People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer," she explained, adding, "It’s not just because of the act, it’s because of the warmth and the intimacy it creates." This insight really encapsulates the depth of their bond.
Russell echoed her sentiments, expressing, "I am the last person to think I should give advice to anybody. It’s just day to day." He elaborated on how their partnership thrives through mutual respect and spontaneity, sharing glimpses of their daily life. “We just kind of say, ‘What do you feel like? What do you want to do?'” he said, highlighting their enjoyment of spending time together and their dedication to their family.
Interestingly, both stars have made headlines over the years for their choice to remain unmarried, yet their relationship remains strong and committed. Hawn shared her perspective, noting, "You have to be nice to each other upon occasion." She also addressed the inevitable challenges of relationships stating, "You have to accept [that] you’re not the same person... you have to measure: are we having fun, or is this something we want to do? Do we have laughs together?" Her wisdom resonates not only with those enchanted by her romance but also with anyone striving for lasting relationships.
