In 1975, Goldie Hawn met musician Bill Hudson of *The Hudson Brothers* during a first-class flight. Their instant connection led to marriage in 1976, just before the birth of their son. The newborn faced life-threatening complications but survived, becoming their “precious miracle.” They later welcomed a daughter in 1979.

However, their marriage ended in 1981 after Bill discovered Goldie’s infidelity. Bill wanted a traditional marriage, while Goldie preferred an open relationship.

In 1983, Goldie began dating actor Kurt Russell. Their blended family faced challenges, but Kurt stepped in as a father figure. Goldie’s children, Kate and Oliver Hudson, later praised Kurt for his support, while expressing feelings of abandonment by Bill.

Tensions escalated publicly in 2015 when Oliver posted a Father’s Day message calling out Bill’s absence. Bill responded, claiming betrayal and asking his children to stop using the Hudson name.

Despite the family rift, Kate and Oliver continue to share a close bond with Kurt, who plays an active role in their lives and their children’s.
