Goldie Hawn’s Ex-Husband Bill Hudson Says She’s “Poisoned” the Kids Against Him

Before Goldie Hawn entered her long-lasting relationship with partner Kurt Russell, the celebrated actress married actor and musician Bill Hudson. The couple met in 1975, and later, had two children, Kate and Oliver Hudson.

But the end of Hawn and Hudson’s relationship was more than dramatic. In fact, today, the father doesn’t even speak to Oliver or Kate. The two don’t want anything to do with their father.

At the same time, Bill Hudson isn’t fond of his ex-wife Goldie Hawn either, and he revealed the truth about her in his memoir. He wrote that he was sick and tired of the image of her, adding that he got caught up in her world and is still paying a painful price.

Goldie Hawn’s relationships

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s love story is one of Hollywood’s finest. They met for the first time while filming The Only and Only, Genuine Original Family Band in 1966 when Goldie was 21 years of age and Russel 16.

However, it took a while before they found each other.

Goldie Hawn married actor Gus Trikonis in 1969, but the couple separated after four years. She was granted a divorce in June 1976, and just a couple of weeks later, she married musician and actor Bill Hudson.

Bill Hudson was in the band The Hudson Brothers with his brothers Brett and Mark at the time. He and Goldie Hawn met for the first time in 1975, while on a flight from New York to Los Angeles.

Hudson recalled seeing her in first class, while the band was sitting in economy class drinking.

“About 30 minutes out, I was told to go back to first to prepare for landing and my brother Brett said, ‘Hey, why don’t you go talk to Goldie? She’s hot,'” Russel recalled.

“I had a nice wine buzz on, so I went to chat to her. In the flesh she was luminous. Her skin was perfect and she had this mane of blonde hair and that wonderful throaty laugh that got you grinning the second you heard it, he added. “The attraction was instant for both of us. She agreed to see me for dinner that night.”

However, when he turned up to the restaurant for the date, Goldie Hawn was there with her then-husband Gus Trikonis.

Dramatic birth of her son

A year later Hawn divorced her first husband, and just a couple of weeks later after, she married Bill Hudson.

The couple had two children, Oliver Hudson (born in 1976) and Kate Hudson (1979).

Oliver’s first hours in life were dramatic. He was born via cesarean section, but everything didn’t go as planned. Shortly after his birth, Goldie was told that her baby boy might not make it.

According to the doctors, Oliver had Goldie meconium aspiration syndrome. Unfortunately, the tiny infant swallowed meconium during the delivery and went into his lungs.

Oliver was rushed to the NICU, and the only thing Goldie could do was pray for his recovery. And it worked. Slowly, Oliver healed.

“I don’t think there’s any question that prayer can work. I’m a spiritual person. Although I was raised Jewish, I’m not a religious person, and I like my tribe and where I came from. But that was a beautiful thing, phenomenal,” Goldie told People in 2017.

Oliver’s life-threatening condition was severe, but today he’s a grown man with a family of his own.

“I mean, he’s such a gift. They’re all gifts, all my children,” Goldie says.

A year later Hawn divorced her first husband, and just a couple of weeks later after, she married Bill Hudson.

The couple had two children, Oliver Hudson (born in 1976) and Kate Hudson (1979). However, the story of Hudson, Hawn, and their two children would take on quite a dark turn later on in their lives.

In 1982, Hawn and Hudson got divorced. The following year, Kurt Russell met Hawn once again while filming Swing Shift. He didn’t waste any time to try and impress her, saying: “Man, you’ve got a great figure.”

“I was severely hungover and I didn’t know Goldie at all outside of having worked with her those many years before,” Russell said in a 2017 interview with Conan O’Brien.

“I just didn’t have in my mind what I was going to see, and she had a great body. So the first thing that came out was, ‘Man, you’ve got a great figure.’ It came out quickly and it could’ve gone wrong, and she said, ‘Why thank you.’”

One night after work, Goldie and Kurt went out – and from that day forward the two were inseparable.

But it wasn’t only Goldie Hawn that Kurt Russell had to impress. She had children Kate and Oliver, and Russel stole their hearts from the start.
