This Little Girl Was ‘Abandoned’ by Her Star Dad – He Later Disowned Her, Saying She’s ‘Dead’ to Him.

In 1975, a renowned musician met Goldie Hawn at the height of their careers, marking a significant chapter in both their lives. The musician, who had already made a name for himself with The Hudson Brothers—performing alongside notable acts like The Beach Boys, The Osmonds, and The Monkees—crossed paths with Hawn on a first-class flight from New York to Los Angeles. Their immediate connection was palpable, with the musician recalling, “The attraction was instant. I invited her out to dinner that night, and that was it.”

 

 

The chemistry between them extended beyond their initial meeting. He described their physical relationship as “mind-blowing,” remarking that despite the relationship’s ups and downs, the intimacy remained exceptional.

 

 

By 1976, the couple had married, with Goldie pregnant with their first child. Their son was born at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles but faced a critical health scare due to meconium aspiration. The infant had to be isolated for three days, a period the musician described as deeply distressing, stating, “Goldie and I were beside ourselves.” Despite the dire predictions from doctors, their son survived, a moment the musician termed as their “precious miracle.”

The couple welcomed their second child, a daughter, in 1979. For a while, the family enjoyed a bubble of “deep love,” but their marriage began to falter. In 1981, the union ended after the musician discovered Goldie’s extramarital affairs. He had hoped for a traditional marriage, which clashed with Goldie’s desire for an open relationship. He shared, “Goldie was having affairs [and] she told me pretty much on our wedding night that she wanted an open marriage.” Ultimately, he decided to move out.

 

 

Following their split, Goldie began dating actor Kurt Russell in 1983. They had initially met in 1968 while working on “The Only One, Genuine, Original Family Band.” Kurt, who had recently divorced from Season Hubley, rekindled his connection with Goldie during the filming of “Swing Shift,” leading to a deepening of their relationship. They welcomed their son, Wyatt Russell, three years later.

Goldie’s daughter reflected on the impact of their blended family, noting the emotional weight of the transition. She recalled thinking, “For me, it felt like such a big moment because it was like, ‘My mom is madly in love with this guy.’” Similarly, Kurt’s stepdaughter described her mixed feelings about meeting her new stepsiblings.

 

 

Goldie’s ex-husband, meanwhile, entered a long-term relationship with actress Ali McGraw before marrying Cindy Williams. The couple had two children, Emily and Zachary, before divorcing in 2000. After the split, Goldie’s children felt abandoned by their father, who gradually distanced himself from the family. The musician’s son remembered his father being absent as early as six, and his sister discussed how their father’s presence dwindled over time. Despite the pain, she has expressed forgiveness, acknowledging the struggles her father must have faced.

The musician’s relationship with his children became strained, especially after a Father’s Day post by his son Oliver, which featured a hurtful caption. In response, Bill Hudson, the musician, criticized Oliver’s public message and expressed his dismay, stating, “Oliver could have picked up the phone and called me, but he hasn’t.” Bill’s frustration extended to his daughter Kate, especially after she publicly praised Kurt Russell on Father’s Day. Bill declared he no longer recognized Kate and Oliver as his children, attributing their estrangement to what he perceived as manipulation by Goldie.

 

 

 

 

Despite these tensions, there have been attempts at reconciliation. Kate has publicly expressed forgiveness towards her father and a desire to reconnect with her siblings. Oliver confirmed that he and his father had a productive conversation following the social media controversy. Goldie’s children have ensured that their kids enjoy a close relationship with their step-grandfather, Kurt Russell, who has been a supportive figure in their lives.

Though the past remains complex and fraught with unresolved issues, Goldie, Kurt, Kate, and Oliver are focusing on the positives, striving to build meaningful relationships and create a supportive family environment.
