Love appears to be abundant in Hollywood all the time. But it’s common knowledge that partnerships in the entertainment industry don’t endure very long. Thankfully, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have not experienced it. No, they appear to have an unbreakable bond.

The two have been together for nearly forty years, and their beginnings are a beautiful tale. However, they never got married, and they still have no intentions to get married. Why? Goldie Hawn has a precise explanation, though. 

In a recent interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace, the 77-year-old actress from Private Benjamin spoke up about why she and her longtime partner Russell, who they have been dating for almost 40 years, have not been married.

“Why don’t you two get married?” “Why should we be?” was Hawn’s response when Wallace asked her on his show, “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? Isn’t it a more pertinent query?

Hawn, whose two marriages ended in divorce, responded that she and Russell, 72, have witnessed the consequences of ending a marriage, in part, when Wallace asked the same question again.

“It turns out to be big business when it doesn’t work out,” the actress stated.

“It’s always ugly,” she continued. “Somebody actually has to take a look and say, ‘How many divorces actually are fun? How many divorces actually don’t cost money? How many divorces actually make you hate the person more than you did before? How many divorces have hurt children?’ ”
