London: Actress Goldie Hawn says her relationship with Kurt Russell was “different” to others because they both had children from previous partners when they met.
The Death Becomes Her actress, who met Russell in 1983, said the early years of their now 29-year-long relationship were unusual, Femalefirst reported.
“The beautiful thing was he had children, and I had children – it was a different kind of romance because we loved the kids so much, it was all about the family. When we got together we had much bigger, broader views which was how much could he love my children,” she said.
The pair have remained unmarried for the time they have been together, but she said they did consider tying the knot but when they asked their children in the late 1980s, they all told them not to do it.
“I didn’t want to be married because I did that already, and it didn’t work, so why would I do it again? Kurt felt the same way. We were in love, and at that point in time a piece of paper, to us, didn’t mean anything. I failed twice, he failed once.
“We asked the kids after we’d been together about five years, ‘What do you think, should we get married?’ and they all went, ‘No! We love it!’ so we didn’t get married.” (PTI)
