After Nearly Four Decades Of Romance, Kurt Russell Knew The Perfect Way To Surprise Goldie Hawn

If you’ve been with your partner for nearly 40 years, you may think there’s little you could do to astonish them. Surely they know you inside out by now? But Kurt Russell – who, let’s not forget, has romanced Goldie Hawn since 1983 – proves you can still leave your other half awestruck after all that time. Yes, in November 2020, the Silkwood star wowed his love with a gesture that, although simple, seemed to make Hawn’s day. No wonder the pair are still total couple goals...

The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two

And Russell’s adorable surprise came on the promotional trail for 2020 release The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two. The holiday movie saw Hawn and Russell finally reunited as leading actors in the same production, ending a 33-year hiatus from starring on screen together. Yes, although the actress had enjoyed a brief cameo in the first festive film, now she would be up front and center as the wife to Russell’s Santa Claus.

A Shocking romantic Gesture

The couple looked like they were having the time of their lives, too, while promoting The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two. But things got even better for Hawn when Russell shocked her in the most perfect way. And the romantic gesture just went to prove that the spark was very much still alive for the two love birds.

Four Decades of Love

That’s quite some feat, given that Hawn and Russell have one of Hollywood’s most enduring relationships. They’ve been together for nearly four decades, after all. But the couple have known each other for even longer, having first become acquainted on the set of the 1968 Disney film The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band. Still, back then, their five-year age difference apparently seemed like a bridge too far.

Their Initial Encounter

During a 2012 appearance on the BBC radio show Desert Island Discs, Hawn explained of that initial encounter, “I was 21, and [Kurt] was 16. I thought he was adorable, but he was much too young. Then, years later, we met up again, and I remembered that I liked him very much when I first met him. We both said we would never go out with another actor, so it just shows [that] you never can tell.”
