Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have shared the secret to their enduring 37-year relationship, which they say is no secret at all. In an interview with People magazine, the couple, who have never married, explained that the key is simply wanting to be together.
'You've just got to want to be together. I don't think there's any way other than do it,' said Hawn, 75. Russell, 69, added: 'For people like us, the marriage certificate wasn't going to create anything that otherwise we wouldn't have.'
The couple met on the set of the 1966 film The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band but did not begin dating until they worked together on the 1984 film Swing Shift. They have one son together, Wyatt Russell, now 34, and have raised children from previous marriages: Hawn's daughter Kate Hudson, 41, and son Oliver Hudson, 44, and Russell's son Boston, 40.
Hawn reflected on her children's experiences with marriage, noting that Oliver and Wyatt are happily married, while Kate's first marriage ended in divorce. 'The point is that we all tried marriage and sometimes marriage doesn't work,' she said.
The couple are set to appear together in The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two, currently streaming on Netflix. Hawn, who plays Mrs. Claus, said she was excited to bring more depth to the character. For the holidays, they plan to focus on gratitude for family and love.
