Goldie Hawn has revealed the secret to her successful longtime relationship with Kurt Russell that has spanned more than four decades.
‘You have to have good sex,’ Goldie, 78, said on Friday at her Love-In Gala celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Goldie Hawn Foundation and MindUP, according to an article by 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 continued.
Goldie jokingly added: ‘You have to be nice to each other upon occasion.’
The Oscar-winning actress and Kurt, 73, have been together since 1983 and have son Wyatt Russell, 38, along with daughter Kate Hudson and son Oliver Hudson from Goldie’s second marriage.

She also brought up that couples don’t always agree and that should be welcomed.
‘You know you’re not the same person,’ she 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.’
Goldie also suggested that people should stay realistic about their expectations in a relationship.
‘We have a lot of expectation, I think, around relationships, but you have to like the person. That’s very important,’ Goldie said.
Kurt also shared his advice on forming a strong partnership.
‘Most people that have been together for a long time, I think, share one thing in common,’ Russell told E! at the gala in Beverly Hills, California. ‘And that is that after that many years together, you will have experienced just about everything there is to experience together and understand all the ups and downs and what it means.’
‘I just love the fact that we met and we still doing it. We still like being together,’ Kurt added.
Kurt also has son Boston Russell, 44, with his ex-wife Season Hubley, 73.
