According to Goldie Hawn, the key to a happy relationship is not a wedding, but an intact sex life.
What is the secret of their more than 40-year relationship? At least not a marriage certificate. Goldie Hawn (78) and Kurt Russell (73) don’t need that. The actress has now revealed that “good sex” is the key.
The actor couple has been in a relationship since 1983 and has a son together. Goldie Hawn talked about her recipe for a functioning relationship: “You have to have good sex. Because sex is something that connects you and creates more belonging.”
On the sidelines of a charity event for her Goldie Hawn Foundation, whose success she proudly shares, she chatted from her bedside table: “People who have healthy sexual relationships tend to last much longer [Anm. der Red.: in einer Beziehung]. But it’s not just because of the act, it’s because of the warmth and intimacy it creates.”
“But you don’t have to share everything.”
Hawn also joked at the event, which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the foundation’s MindUP mental health program: “You have to be nice to each other sometimes. […] Do we laugh together? Do we share certain things? But you don’t have to share everything. I think we have a lot of expectations when it comes to relationships, ultimately you have to like the person. This is very important.”
Kurt Russell, who accompanied his partner and her daughter Kate Hudson (45, from a relationship with musician Bill Hudson) to the event, added that most long-term couples have one thing in common: “That’s what you’re after You will have experienced pretty much everything there is to experience together for so many years. All the ups and downs…”. He concluded: “I love the fact that we met. We still enjoy being together.”
