Goldie Hawn’s secret to a long lasting relationship
It’s been a big month for Hollywood splits with the announcement of the shock divorce of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, followed by that of Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber.
But just when you think that true love has no hope, actress Goldie Hawn, who has been with her partner Kurt Russell for 33 years, has shared what she believes to be the secret to a couple staying together for a long period of time. And it’s not marriage!
Speaking on Britain’s ITV Loose Women, the 70-year-old actress stated she believes the key to relationship success is freedom and never actually tying the knot.
When asked about her position, Hawn stated, “I would have been long divorced if I got married. If you need to be bound to someone, then it’s important to be married,’ she added. ‘If you are independent, then it’s important to not be married.”
Hawn added, “What is marriage going to do for us? At the beginning, you want to see each other all the time. Then you get jealous when they’re gone too long and that’s exciting. But for a healthy long-term relationship, then 68 per cent of the time is good.”
What’s your take on her comments? Do you think marriage is not all it’s cracked up to be? Or are you still a hopeless romantic? Let us know in the comments section.
