Together for more than forty years, Goldie Hawn is getting candid about why her relationship with Kurt Russell is so successful.
On Friday, while celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Goldie Hawn Foundation and MindUP, the actress revealed a key element to their love story.
“You have to have good sex,” the 78-year-old said bluntly in an interview with E! News.
“Because sex is something that connects you and creates more belonging. People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer. But it’s not just because of the act, it’s because of the warmth and the intimacy that it creates,” she explained.
“You have to be nice to each other upon occasion,” she teased.
Although Hawn said having that intimacy is important, it’s also the time spent recognizing your differences that really makes a relationship stick.
“People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer. But it’s not just because of the act, it’s because of the warmth and the intimacy that it creates.”

“You know you’re not the same person,” the “Overboard” actress said. “You don’t think the same way oftentimes. And you have to accept that, but you have to measure are we having fun, or is this something we want to do? Do we have laughs together? Do we share certain things? You don’t have to share everything.”
“We have a lot of expectation, I think, around relationships, but you have to like the person. That’s very important.”
The couple is also famously not married.
“I think that if we were married, there probably could have been times, when you go, ‘Oh c’mon. I’m done,’” she told Shepard. Still, Hawn said, “I’m really happy I stayed.”
