“Lovers and Liars” actress Goldie Hawn and her partner Kurt Russell have been together for 40 years. Despite the success of their relationship, they have never gotten married, a decision their children agree with. They have, however, had their share of challenges and once almost split up. They also build their home from scratch and love doing house chores, despite being worth millions of dollars.

“The First Wives Club” actress Goldie Hawn and her partner “Escape From New York” actor Kurt Russell have been together for decades, and despite the challenges they have been through, their love continues to grow.

The lovebirds have achieved a lot together, from featuring together in films such as “Overboard,” “The Christmas Chronicles 1&2,” “Swing Sheet,” “Private Benjamin,” “Cactus Flower,” and “Foul Play,” among many others, to establishing a relationship that, to many, remains a dream.

Besides work, the two have also had successful personal lives after blending their families, having a son together, and raising seven grandkids. But where did it all start?

Hawn and Russell first met in 1966 on the set of the live-action movie musical “The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band.” They were both determined not to date other actors at the time, so they did not hit off immediately.

There was also the issue of their age difference. Hawn was 21 while Russell was 16, and while she thought he was adorable, and liked him a lot, the “Everyone Says I Love You” actress also felt he was too young.

Days passed, then weeks and years, and in 1983, 17 years after their initial meeting, the pair again found themselves set to appear in the same film, “Swing Shift.”

When Hawn arrived to read the script with Russell, the actor recalls blurting out the first thing that came to mind: “Man, you got a great figure.” He was severely hungover and knew his pickup line was corny, but when Hawn answered with a “Why thank you,” he knew he might stand a chance.

Russell told Conan O’Brien that he did not know Hawn outside of working together nearly two decades earlier, but when he saw her again and what a great body she had, he could not stop himself. Luckily, she was not mad about his approach.

They went on their first date soon after, starting with dancing at the Playboy Club in Los Angeles. Russell’s role in the “Swing Shift” was the guy who played the trumpet, and because Hawn is a professional dancer, Russell wanted them to go somewhere where they would dance to that kind of swing music, and the only place that offered that was The Playboy Club.

They then decided that the night was still young and left for a house Hawn had purchased and was renovating. They soon found their way around the imaginary furniture and into the imaginary bedroom, where things started getting steamy. They did not remember then that they had broken in to get into the house.

They only realized their mistake when the police walked in on them. Russell admits the situation was bizarre, but it did not dampen their spirits, and they just took their date somewhere else — to a hotel room, where they ended their date peacefully.

The pair fell in love on the set of the movie, and Hawn would later disclose that she knew he was the right guy for her when she saw how well he interacted with her kids, Oliver and Kate Hudson, from her previous marriage to Bill Hudson. She said:

“He was amazing with them. He was such a natural.”

In July 1986, the lovebirds welcomed their first baby together, son Wyatt. Their family now felt complete. They had four children, Hawn’s two and Russell’s son Boston, from a previous marriage to Season Hubley. In addition to building an incredible family life together, the two continued featuring in films, and in 1987, they appeared in “Overboard.”

The two continued to use their combined effort to take the world by storm, and in 1989, they presented together at the Oscars. And in September 1996, Russell supported Hawn by hitting the red carpet for the premiere of the cult classic “The First Wives Club.”

Among their many achievements is being honored with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The two received their stars in 2017, a ceremony that turned out more emotional than they had anticipated after Russell gave his speech:

“Simply put, Goldie, I cherish you. All the stars in the sky or on the boulevard can’t hold a candle to that. There’s no one else I’d rather be next to for all of that than Goldie Hawn.”

The two have weathered life storms together and are only growing more in love as the years pass. However, like any other relationship, they have had their challenges, some so intense that they almost split.

An insider told Closer Weekly that the lovebirds were having trouble communicating. When they could no longer see eye to eye, Hawn took off to India to spend time with former cricket player turned politician Imran Khan.

Khan had, for years, held a reputation for his amorous life, and Russell’s jealousy kicked in despite Khan denying any improper involvement with Hawn. And when Russell expressed his wish not to see Hawn, she left for their Malibu house while he stayed at their Pacific Palisades home.

Even though it appeared that the two had reached the end of the tether, they did bounce back, their children informing their decision to work things out and get back together. The insider concluded:

“It doesn’t take much for them to kiss and make up, and their bond became stronger after that turbulent split.”

Even though the two have been together for four decades, they never desired to get married. Hawn had been married and divorced twice before Russell, while Russell also went through a divorce, and she admits that if she had married Russell, they would have already divorced.

Hawn said she wakes up every morning with a choice to love Russell and be there with him, not necessarily because she is bound to him by marriage. She said of her view on marriage:

She believes that no one should care about them being married or not as long as they are okay with that decision. She also disclosed that they had asked their kids if they cared about them getting married, and they did not. And if their kids ever felt the need for them to get married, they would.

Inside the House They Build from Scratch
Hawn and Russell boast several homes in Vancouver and New York, but their property in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, steals the show. The white Southern-style structure they designed together and built from scratch in 2016, moving in in 2017, is a sight to behold.

The house, situated on just over half an acre on top of a bluff, is a piece of art comprising a luxurious living room, an epic garden, and even a home gym.

Hawn and Russell opened their doors to their fans, albeit virtually, with videos of their beautiful home. In their luxurious living room is a fireplace with an ornate white mantelpiece with matching houseplants atop it and a TV set mounted in the middle. The room also features wooden floors with a fluffy cream rug and a wood and wire shelving unit to the side.

The living room features oversized couches, a master chandelier, beautiful and expensive art pieces, and crafts made by her grandkids. A photo of the actress with her daughter Kate Hudson and former son-in-law Chris Robinson on their wedding day sits atop a white piano.

The main living room also boasts a sweeping staircase with brown and white touches that is the home’s centerpiece. A second living room features a white-and-blue patterned wallpaper and a marble coffee table in front of the fireplace.

Another room featured on Hawn’s Instagram videos has white wood paneling, a large plant in front of a window, and white wicker chairs and furnishings.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room feature white walls, intricate furniture, and a lovely large bed for their dogs. The dining table also boasts unique colorful legs that make a statement to the style of the home.

The ground floor boasts double doors leading into the garden where a Buddha model sits, and the actress possibly meditates. Her lovely garden also features a giant cow, neatly cut grass where she plays with her dogs, and an alfresco dining table.

Their epic gym is equipped with a barre, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, a treadmill, a spin bike, a bar on one wall, and a mini trampoline. Their bedroom features a cream theme, large bay windows to bring in natural light, and an embellished throw on the bed.

Sharing Home Chores and Doting on Their Grandbabies
Much like their work together on numerous films, Russell and Hawn love sharing chores at home. After so many years together, the pair has established a system that works for them.

Russell admits that Hawn is a vastly superior chef, and he tries to stay out of her way when she is whipping up some tasty dishes. However, he also disclosed that he found it fun cooking with her every once in a while.

Russell also opened up about domestic chores and what they meant to men saying that not many men cared much if chores were done. He says he comfortably takes out the trash and does not mind the task at all. In 2020, Hawn posted a cute short video of herself with her family as they did dishes while dancing with the caption:

“Washing dishes doesn’t have to be a chore. It can be a dance. It’s all up to us.”

Despite their combined net worth of $160 million — Russell is worth $100 million while Hawn is worth $60 million — they do not hire help to do house chores and instead do the chores themselves.

In 2019, the actress proved her love for cooking when she posted a video on her Instagram showing her making chicken bone broth in the kitchen.

The two also love spending time with their grandchildren, who refer to Hawn as “GoGo.” Hawn always wanted to be a grandma, and in 2003, Hawn said she would love to be a grandmother. She confessed she was not trying to push the matter or rush her children into having kids, but she thought it would be so much fun.

Her wish was answered shortly after when her daughter announced her pregnancy and delivered Hawn’s first grandchild months later. According to an insider, Hudson’s children share a special bond with Hawn.

Their seven grandkids include Ryder Robinson, Hudson’s son, with her ex-husband Chris Robinson. Bingham is Hudson’s second son with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, while Rani is her lastborn child with musician Danny Fujikawa.

Wilder Brooks and Bodhi are Oliver Hudson’s sons with Erinn Bartlett, while Rio is his youngest and only daughter. Buddy Prine, Wyatt’s son, is the youngest of the bunch.

Hudson’s children Ryder and Bingham say their GoGo is fun, and time with her is filled with fun and laughter. They especially love to visit when their parents are out of town because, at their grandparents’ home, anything goes. An insider shared:

“All the grandkids have a blast at GoGo’s, and that’s made Kate and Goldie’s bond even tighter.”

Russell is equally a doting grandparent to their seven grandkids. He admitted that he loved his title as a grandpa and hoped their children had even more kids because he was happy when kids played around.

Hudson recognizes how much Russell loves his children and grandchildren and appreciates him every Father’s day. In June 2020, Hudson posted a cute photo of Russell holding one of his grandbabies as Hawn looked on, with the caption: “I love him to pieces. Happy Father’s Day to our Pa.”

Bill Gates and Paula Hurd attended Mukesh Ambani’s son’s wedding. Bill and Paula have appeared in media-covered events before. Bill Gates and Paula Hurd attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s engagement celebration in August 2023. They also frequently hung out.

Eddie Murphy and Paige Butcher are officially married.

The Oscar nominee, 63, and the Australian model, 44, tied the knot after first getting engaged in September 2018, PEOPLE can exclusively confirm. The two also share an 8-year-old daughter, Izzy Oona, and a 5-year-old son, Max Charles.

Murphy and Butcher got married on Tuesday, July 9 in Anguilla during a small private ceremony in front of family and close friends. Butcher wore a corseted gown adorned with lace designed by Mira Zwillinger, while the groom wore a white Brioni suit.

This marks the second marriage for Murphy and the first for Butcher.

Eddie Murphy Joined by 3 of His Daughters and Fiancée Paige Butcher at Premiere of Beverly Hills Cop Sequel

The news of their nuptials comes less than a month after Murphy and Butcher stepped out together during the Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F premiere in Los Angeles on June 20. At the Netflix event, the two were joined on the red carpet by his daughters, Bria, 34, Shayne Audra, 29, and Bella Zahra, 22 — whom he shares with ex-wife Nicole, 56.

Britney Spears is ready to get into a new zone. The pop star’s love life has been full of highly publicized drama for as long as she’s been famous, and now it sounds like she’s reached her wits’ end. Spears recently revealed she’s “single as f*ck,” confirming her breakup from her ex Paul Richard Soliz, and went on to declare she’s wearing off men forever.

Renowned American actress Rachel Ward gained fame through her role in the 1983 series “The Thorn Birds.”

Despite being in her mid-60s, fans argue that she hasn’t aged much since her iconic appearance in the series.

Ward not only found fame in “The Thorn Birds” but also love. She and her husband, Bryan Brown, met on set, and their on-screen romance evolved into a real-life connection.

Playing the lead in the series, with Bryan Brown as her on-screen husband, their fictional relationship blossomed into reality, although their initial attraction was “basic.”

Married for four decades, Ward and Brown’s enduring love story began a few months after the filming of “The Thorn Birds” concluded.

Ward, grateful for the opportunities the show brought into her life, particularly values the enduring marriage with Brown.

While shooting together, Brown read Ward’s palm, predicting she would have three children. Later, he humorously clarified that he didn’t specify they would be his.

Their decision to marry had an unconventional origin. During a heated argument in Ireland, Brown suggested that if they were going to argue so intensely, they might as well get married. They tied the knot in Ward’s childhood home before settling in Sydney, Australia.

Celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in April 2023, Ward and Brown have openly shared the secrets of their enduring and happy marriage. Ward, at 65, continues to showcase ageless beauty.

In February 2023, Ward shared a photo from the premiere of her movie “Rachel’s Farm” at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. Fans marveled at her stunning appearance, with some describing her as a “goddess” and “fantastic.”

Beyond her acting career, Ward, along with Brown, built a family. They have two daughters, Rosie and Matilda, and a son named Joe, all of whom pursued acting. Matilda also ventured into directing.

Matilda, at 36, has credits in “Lessons from the Grave” and “How God Works.” Rosie, at 39, appeared in “Luther,” “Black Mirror,” and “See How They Run.” Joe, 31, starred in “Rake” and “Let’s Talk About.”

Proud grandparents, Ward and Brown welcomed their first grandchild, Zan, in 2019, delivered with Brown in the room, an unexpected yet cherished moment.

Despite careers slowing down and children finding their paths, Ward and Brown’s marriage remains strong. They cherish moments spent with family, treating them as sacred.

The couple, now with more time on their hands, shares a passion for horseback riding. This shared interest has taken them to various locations worldwide, from Bulgaria to Canada and Israel, with plans for more horseriding trips, even in New Zealand.

Beyond outdoor activities, the couple enjoys cozy nights watching British TV shows. Brown jokingly shared his philosophy for a lasting marriage, advising men to always say ‘Yes’ to their wives and, if anything goes wrong, say ‘It’s my fault.’

This philosophy, coupled with shared passions and a deep love, has contributed to Ward and Brown’s enduring marriage. The couple often showcases their happiness and love on social media, where Ward proudly displays her husband, emphasizing their beautiful and lasting connection.

A Hollywood Legend’s Disappointment

Robert De Niro, the renowned actor known for his candid views on politics and societal issues, has expressed his deep frustration with the current state of affairs in America. In a heartfelt statement, De Niro has revealed his plans to leave the country, citing a lack of respect as one of the main reasons behind this decision.

A Time When Respect Existed

“There was a time when there was respect here. Now, I don’t see it anymore,” laments De Niro, highlighting the erosion of respect and values in American society. As a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, De Niro believes that the country no longer aligns with his personal values and the level of respect he considers vital.

Searching for a New Home

Although De Niro has not disclosed his intended destination, he assures his fans that finding a place that respects his beliefs and way of life is essential for his peace of mind and overall well-being. This decision marks a significant moment, as it reflects the sentiment of many others who also feel disillusioned with the current state of the nation.

A Hollywood Legend’s Departure

Robert De Niro’s departure from America is not only a loss for Hollywood but also a reflection of the broader sentiments of those who share his frustrations. Throughout his illustrious career, De Niro has not only been a legendary actor but also a vocal advocate for causes he believes in. His decision prompts us to consider the importance of respect in public discourse and the need for constructive dialogue in society.

Mixed Reactions

The public response to De Niro’s announcement has been diverse. Some understand and support his frustrations, while others perceive his choice as overly dramatic. Nevertheless, De Niro remains resolute in his decision, hoping to find a place that resonates more closely with his values.

An older woman leading a solitary life in a nursing home unexpectedly receives visits from her relatives after inheriting a $2.3 million fortune, only for them to face karma and learn a lesson the hard way.

Lola Simpson sat in a wheelchair, admiring the small garden through the window of her room at Big Hearts Nursing Home. Yet another year had passed, but Lola’s life saw no significant changes. Her daughter, Natalie, and son-in-law, Roger, didn’t return her calls and didn’t bother to check on her again that year.

Exactly six years ago, when Lola was 80, her health began failing her. She needed assistance with the most basic tasks and could barely get things done on her own. Lola had always been a lively and cheery woman, but who could beat the effects of aging?

When Natalie realized she’d have to care for her ailing mother, she just kicked her out to live in a nursing home, then settled in her mother’s house with her husband. That time, Natalie very enthusiastically promised Lola that she would visit her often, but year after year, Lola just kept waiting and neither Roger nor Natalie showed up.

One day, Lola was very upset. She had a small family album that she’d brought with her when she was admitted to the nursing home, and as she was looking through the pictures of her and Natalie in them, her tears wouldn’t stop falling.

A young nurse named Mary saw Lola crying and her heart went out to the poor woman.

“Mrs. Simpson,” she said, approaching her. “Can I help you? Are you okay?”

Lola shook her head, wiping her tears. “What do I tell you, darling? This year, my daughter didn’t visit me again. I’ve been waiting for her visit for six years now. Every year, my heart wonders if I’m wasting my time waiting for her. Will she even show up?”

Mary sighed, unsure of how to comfort the older woman. She had heard Lola’s story from the other nurses when she started working at the nursing home. She knew Lola’s daughter and son-in-law had evicted her from her home and had never visited her. She had to do something to cheer up Lola’s mood.

So Mary forced a smile and said, “You see, Mrs. Simpson, they say that patience always bears fruit. I am sure your life will change one day, and you’ll have so much love around you. Plus, crying doesn’t suit a pretty lady like you. Come on, I want to see a smile on that gorgeous face!”

Lola blushed. “Oh, you really have a way with words, darling. I’m sorry for bothering you with all of my troubles. But you know what? I feel a little better. Thank you for listening to me….”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Simpson. I’m around if you ever need someone to listen to your worries. In exchange, I might just ask you for some beauty tips on how you have such beautiful skin!” she joked and Lola chuckled.

“I don’t think an old soul like me can take any more of that flattery. I was wondering if….” Lola began talking to Mary about the things on her mind, having forgotten all her troubles.

That night at home, Mary couldn’t take Lola out of her head. She was feeling terrible for the woman and had an idea in the back of her mind to help her. But for it to work, she needed to talk to her husband first.

“Josh,” she began while they were having dinner. “I know we have a lot on our plates with a small home and three children to look after, but there’s a woman at the nursing home where I work, and she’s really lonely. I was wondering if we could take her in.”

Josh lowered his fork and pursed his lips. “We can’t, darling,” he flatly refused. “We’re already straining to make ends meet. That would put us under too much stress.”

You can’t sow the seeds of bitterness and expect to grow a plant of love.
“But, honey, her family kicked her out. She has no one to care for her. Of course, the nurses are there, but she longs for a family. I’m not putting any pressure on you, but—”

“What did you say? She was kicked out?”

Mary nodded. “And her son-in-law and daughter never visited her after. She hopes they will come to see her someday. She’s been waiting for 6 years…I doubt they’ll come.”

At that point, Josh regretted refusing Mary. He remembered how his mother was all alone in her final days since he was too busy working to support his family and rarely visited her. Josh couldn’t bear the thought of someone else spending their final days in such grief and misery, so he agreed to Mary’s request.

“Alright,” he sighed. “I guess we’ll somehow manage….”

After the documentation was done and Lola came to Mary’s home, Lola felt like her life had gotten another chance. She loved being around Mary’s kids, who called her grandma, and Josh and Mary loved and respected her so much.

Lola lived in Josh and Mary’s house for several months, and she forgot about her troubles. She was finally happy and Mary was delighted to see her that way.

One morning, Lola received a letter and immediately recognized the sender’s address. “You look really happy, Mrs. Simpson. What is the letter about?” Mary asked her as she saw her running her hand smoothly on the letter’s envelope and smiling.

“Oh, it’s from someone special, darling. Just a minute….”

Lola opened the letter to read it and her tears did not stop. It was a letter notifying her that she had inherited $2.3 million from none other than her older stepbrother, Morgan, who had obtained Mary’s address through Lola’s lawyer.

The thing was, Morgan had promised their mother that he would always look after his younger sister, Lola. Sadly, he was bedridden for a long time, and now that the doctor had told him he only had a few months to live, he decided to leave his money to Lola because he didn’t have his own family.

Word reached Natalie and Roger that Lola had become a millionaire after Lola’s lawyer visited Lola’s home for some formalities, only to learn she was in a nursing facility. The couple decided to take Lola back in, but when they went to the nursing home to get her, they learned Lola had left the facility several months ago.

“But where did she go?” Natalie asked the receptionist, confused.

The receptionist slid a slip toward her and said, “She’s somewhere she deserves to be. I’m giving you this address so that you learn that your mother doesn’t need you to be happy!”

When Natalie and Roger arrived at Mary’s house, they pretended to be the lovely relatives they weren’t. But Lola was having none of it and slammed the door in their face. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know you,” she told them. “My daughter and son-in-law don’t let strangers in, so please leave….”

In the end, Natalie and Roger got what they deserved, and so did Lola. Through Mary, she received a priceless treasure: a loving family. In gratitude, Lola decided to leave her riches to Mary’s family after her death. Meanwhile, she sued Natalie and Roger, claiming her right to her house, and though the lawsuit took time, she won.

As of now, Lola doesn’t know where Natalie and Roger are and she doesn’t care either. When Morgan left for his heavenly abode, Mary and Josh took care of his funeral arrangements. Lola’s health is doing much better and she is happy with the family she got in Mary, Josh, and their children.

Patsy, 68, shared a heartfelt swimsuit photo from her Miami vacation with husband Donald on Facebook. Unfortunately, her daughter-in-law Janice’s hurtful comment marred the moment, describing Patsy’s body as “wrinkled” and their kiss as “gross.” This deeply wounded Patsy, prompting her to take a stand.

During a family barbecue, Patsy courageously addressed the disrespect. Displaying Janice’s screenshot to the group, she emphasized the importance of respect regardless of age: “Love and kindness should prevail over superficial judgments,” Patsy declared. Janice, visibly ashamed, approached Patsy later to apologize, admitting her mistake: “I’m sorry,” she said earnestly, promising to reflect and change.

Age-shaming, especially within family circles, cuts deep. Patsy’s response reflected her belief in valuing life’s journey, “complete with its wrinkles and greys,” stressing the importance of mutual respect. This incident serves as a poignant reminder that age is merely a number, and everyone deserves dignity and kindness regardless of appearance or age.

Patsy’s approach resonates with many who have faced similar challenges. The episode highlights the lasting impact of words and the power of standing up for oneself with grace and dignity. Ultimately, it encourages us all to reflect on how we treat others, especially in the face of societal pressures and age-related biases.

In a world where appearances often overshadow deeper values, Patsy’s story stands as a testament to resilience and the enduring importance of respect in all relationships. It serves as a call to embrace diversity and celebrate every stage of life with understanding and empathy.

Bo Derek is a treasured memory for children of the 1970s. She was one of the most stunning bombshells of her era, with her signature blonde hair, flaming blue eyes, and braided hairstyles that dispelled any negative connotations associated with them.

Many people have been curious in her life since her brief period of stardom, like where she ended up, why she quit acting, and what her current circumstances are. Let’s see what Bo is getting up to these days.

The Early Years of Bo Derek

Mary Cathleen Collins was born in Long Beach, California, on November 20, 1956, before she became known as Bo Derek. Mary was raised by working-class parents in a typical American household. Her father worked as a sales executive, while her mother was a cosmetics artist. Mary had two areas of great interest when she was a teenager. She was first and foremost an avid horsewoman because she loved horses. She would compete in many events, proudly showcasing her talents. She also cherished acting. To improve those abilities, she decided to take acting classes.

Keith Urban, the talented and charming musician from Australia, has stolen the hearts of millions. But it’s his love story with actress Nicole Kidman that truly captivates us. In a 2007 interview with Vanity Fair, Kidman revealed that she was secretly engaged to someone else when she first met Urban in 2005. Fate had a different plan, though, as the two fell in love and got engaged just three months later.

Kidman admitted that they didn’t truly know each other until after they were married, but there was an undeniable connection between them from the start. “Meeting at a certain age makes a difference. And I trust my gut instinct,” she said. “From the first minute I met him, there was a feeling of, Ahhh OK, somehow I’ve met home. And he had the same feeling. That was all we had but that was the essence of what we worked from.”

Their love story blossomed, and together they welcomed two beautiful girls into the world. But Urban’s journey to becoming the man he is today was also shaped by the influence of his late father, Robert. Sadly, Robert lost his battle with prostate cancer, a disease that also affected other members of Urban’s family, including his uncles.

In 2018, to honor his father’s memory and raise awareness about prostate cancer, Urban attended the “It’s A Bloke Thing” luncheon in Toowoomba. His dedication to the cause was evident as he performed at a fundraiser for prostate cancer awareness, offering his talents for free. The event was a huge success, raising a record-breaking $2,024,000.

These selfless acts exemplify the kind of person Keith Urban is. Not only is he a gifted musician, a loving spouse, and a devoted parent, but he also has a heart of gold. His passion for raising awareness about prostate cancer shows his commitment to making a positive impact in the world.

Let’s celebrate Keith Urban, the man who has touched our hearts with his music and his kind spirit. Share this article with your family and friends on Facebook to spread the love and admiration for this incredible artist. Together, we can make a difference!
