Why she never wed her longtime lover Kurt Russell, according to Goldie Hawn

Russell, 72, and Hawn, both divorced from their first spouses, she said, and she recognized that when a relationship doesn't work out, "it's always ugly."

"Someone needs to look at the situation and ask, 'How many divorces are fun? How many divorces are genuinely free of expense? How many divorces have made you detest the individual even more? How many divorces resulted in child abuse? she questioned.

The freedom from being tied down to a marriage, according to Hawn, allows her to actively choose each morning whether or not she wants to remain in the union.

Relationships are difficult, she declared. They aren't always simple. There are several obstacles that we face. We have common ground in terms of both our beliefs and our lack of beliefs.

In her final statement, Hawn said, "So I think ultimately staying independent with independent thinking is important so you can hold onto yourself and actually have that feeling."

The pair has remained steadfast in their choice not to get married during their protracted relationship.

Russell clarified a situation at the 1989 Oscars that led to rumors that the two were getting hitched shortly in a March interview with Variety.

     

The pair hinted at getting married while presenting the prize for outstanding directing since they disliked the script.
