They celebrated their 40th anniversary not long ago, but the rumors have persisted for a long time. Goldie and Kurt have finally decided to address them, and it’s just as we suspected  Full story in the comments…

Despite being together longer than many married celebrities, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have never exchanged vows. Hawn recently disclosed the “ugly” reason why they decide against getting married in an interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace.

Hawn addressed her dislike of marriage by saying, “When things don’t work out, it becomes big business.” She has personally gone through two divorces, so she is aware of how painful and difficult the divorce process can be.

Hawn poses significant queries regarding the actual expense of divorcing. What percentage of divorces are actually cost-free? How many divorces has the person made you hate them even more than you did before? What number of divorces have harmed children? Hawn and Russell made the decision to remain single after considering these legitimate worries.

For Hawn, making the conscious decision to be in a relationship each morning when she wakes up is something she appreciates. She is aware that maintaining a relationship takes work and that challenges must be conquered. But she may preserve her uniqueness and be a valuable member of a meaningful partnership by continuing to be independent and clinging to her convictions.

There are other indicators of a good and devoted relationship besides marriage. Without a formal contract, Hawn and Russell have discovered a unique way to express their love and commitment to one another. Their 40-year union is proof of their strong and lasting bond.
