One of Hollywood's longest-lasting relationships, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, is a prime example of how to successfully navigate a blended family. The couple has been together for decades, though never married, and have such a close-knit relationship with their kids it almost seems too good to be true. The couple met for the first time on the set of the Disney film The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, but didn't actually fall for each other until starring together in Swing Shift years later. They fell fast and hard and have been together ever since, combining their children from previous relationships to have an incredibly happy family. It's a love story for the ages and an inspiration for folks everywhere on how to successfully navigate relationships with your adult children.
One of the coolest things about their family is how close their children are. Kate and Oliver Hudson are legitimately best friends and even started a podcast together, Sibling Revelry, where they share personal stories about their family. They also interview other prominent siblings in entertainment, sports, and politics, you name it. In an interview with Health, Kate and Oliver talked about how close their families were and how much they enjoyed their upbringing.
"We're lucky to have parents who love our individuation and who allow mistakes," Kate explained. "We have one of those families that is almost too close. As you get older, you always criticize your parents, right? But when I look at it really objectively, I'm like, 'Whatever I don't agree with right in this moment, they clearly did something right because there's no one I'd rather spend time with than them.'"
Not only are their children close, but all of the grandkids spend a ton of time together as well. This family genuinely loves getting together constantly, and it's so refreshing to see Here's a closer look at Kurt and Goldie's blended family.

Only daughter Kate Hudson is the spitting image of her mom Goldie Hawn. Like her mother in Private Benjamin, Kate has a knack for comedy and has starred in countless romantic comedies, including How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, Fool's Gold, Raising Helen, Bride Wars, and Mother's Day. She was even nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Almost Famous. These days, outside of her podcast, she's focused on being the co-founder of Fabletics as well as raising her three children — Rani Rose Fujikawa, Ryder Robinson, and Bingham Bellamy.
