In 1975, the famous musician Bill Hudson met Goldie Hawn at the height of his career. They met on a flight from New York to Los Angeles, and it was an instant attraction. The Hudson Brothers member, known for his collaborations with The Beach Boys, was also an actor.
The couple married in 1976, when Goldie was expecting their first child. After their son was born at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, he was diagnosed with meconium aspiration, a serious condition caused by inhaling amniotic fluid contaminated with meconium.
In 1979, they had a daughter, completing their family of four. For several years, their lives were filled with “deep love” and happiness. However, their marriage fell apart in 1981 after Goldie’s infidelity became known. The musician, who valued traditional marriage, found his values and Goldie’s lifestyle incompatible.
After the divorce, Goldie began a relationship with actor Kurt Russell in 1983. They met in 1968 while filming The One and Only, Real, Original Family Band.
Goldie’s daughter Kate has only vague memories of her biological father’s presence. In an interview with Howard Stern, she spoke about how her father gradually became less involved in their lives. She also spoke about how her strained relationship with her father affected her career decisions. She was initially hesitant to pursue music for fear of not living up to her father’s legacy, but eventually found her own path.
Cindy, who married Bill and had children with him, tried to include Goldie’s children in her family life. In a 1985 interview with People, Cindy recounted an occasion when they went to pick up Goldie’s children, indicating an ongoing effort to bring their families together.
While the relationship with their biological child remains less than ideal, Goldie’s children Kate and Oliver are focused on developing positive relationships and moving forward.
