Goldie Hawn’s 7-year-old granddaughter is pretty much a spitting image of her famous grandma

Given that Goldie Hawn is not only ageless but also has a wonderful and endearing relationship with her spouse Kurt Russell and is arguably the most entertaining person in Hollywood, you can’t help but watch her.

She is a devoted mother and grandmother to her three biological children, one stepchild, and six grandchildren, and her social media accounts reflect this.

Hollywood romances don’t usually last very long. Celebrity relationships usually come and go. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, though, are unquestionably an example of how to make it work even after a long marriage.

In 1983, Goldie began dating fellow Hollywood celebrity and the love of her life, Kurt Russell. More than three decades later, the pair is still deeply in love with and adores one another; they don’t even feel the need to be married.

“So as long as my emotional state is in a state of devotion, honesty, caring, and loving, then we’re fine. I like waking up every day and seeing that he is there and knowing that I have a choice. There is really no reason to marry,” Goldie told Woman’s Day in 2007.

Kurt stated, “Everyone has their marker on what is really important and where you draw the line,” in an interview with the Daily Mail in 2018. The kids come first was Goldie and my main principle.

Through the Goldie Hawn Foundation’s MindUp initiative, which she founded in 2003 to assist improve settings for kids so they may succeed in school and in life, Goldie puts the needs of all children first.

Every time you see her with her daughter Kate Hudson, a Hollywood star in her own right, you can tell how much she loves her own kids. With her second husband Bill Hudson, Goldie had a daughter named Kate and her older brother Oliver.

The amusing mother-daughter team recently made an appearance on the Ellen show, where Goldie made fun of how close she was to daughter Kate when she gave birth to Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa, who is now one year old.

“The doctor was in there and I could see the head and then it disappeared,” Goldie animatedly declared on the show. “And I’m looking over his shoulder, then the doctor turned to me and said ‘Goldie if you get any closer you’re gonna fall in.’”

In addition, Kate has two sons: Ryder Russell, 15, and Bingham Hawn Bellamy, 8.

My Wife Set Hidden Cameras at Her Ex-husband’s Home While He Was Away — I Told Him Everything & He Came up with a Plan

When Denise’s jealousy over her ex-husband’s new relationship drives her to plant hidden cameras in his home, she sets off a chain of events that forces her to confront her unresolved feelings. As secrets unravel, Denise must choose between holding on to the past or rebuilding her future.

Blended families come with their own unique challenges, but I never expected mine to include hidden cameras, confrontations, and a battle of egos.

I married Denise two years ago, and while I knew her past was complicated, I didn’t realize how much it would spill into our lives. Denise had a six-year-old daughter, Shelby, with her ex-husband, Elon, and their co-parenting arrangement was… tense.

Denise was overbearing when it came to our stepdaughter, and her fixation on Elon’s life didn’t help anything.

Elon, to his credit, hadn’t dated anyone seriously since their divorce. Denise often said that was better.

“There will be no witchy stepmom messing up my daughter’s life, Levi,” she said to me one night over a glass of wine and salads. “Shelby’s life will be perfect, and I’ll be the only mother she ever knows.”

But when Elon introduced his new girlfriend, Lena, into the picture, Denise’s carefully constructed narrative crumbled before her eyes.

“And you know what?! Levi! She’s met Shelby already!” she fumed over dinner. “What kind of woman just waltzes into a child’s life like that? He should’ve asked me first!”

She slammed the spoon so hard into the pasta dish that specks of food went everywhere.

I kept quiet, unwilling to fuel the fire. Elon didn’t owe Denise updates about his personal life anymore. But Denise wasn’t one to let things go. She demanded to meet Lena, claiming that it was her right as a mother to “test” anyone around her daughter.

“Seriously, Levi. I need to know if this woman is good for my child or if she’ll just cause Shelby to go to therapy.”

A few weeks later, I was using Denise’s tablet when a message from her mom caught my attention.

Have you checked the feed yet, Denise? What’s Lena like?

“What the hell? Oh, Denise, what have you done?” I muttered.

The feed?

My stomach tightened as I scrolled through their messages, piecing it all together. Denise had used the spare key Elon had given her to install hidden cameras in his house.

“This key is just in case Shelby leaves something behind when she’s with you, Denise,” Elon had said over family brunch one weekend. “I know it’s weird for you, given our history, but I’d rather know that you can get to her things if I’m not there.”

I’ll admit, I respected the heck out of him for that. Honestly, which man would just give his ex-wife keys to his house?

But this… what Denise had done… it actually repulsed me.

When I confronted her, she didn’t even look guilty.

“It’s not what you think, babe,” she said defensively. “I just need to make sure Lena’s treating my baby girl right.”

“By spying on them? In their private time?” I shot back, almost dropping my cup of coffee. “This isn’t normal, Denise. It’s invasive, and I’m pretty sure it breaks a few laws, too.”

She crossed her arms, her expression icy.

“You don’t understand. And you don’t care about Shelby the way I do. I guess you don’t… she’s not your child anyway.”

I was furious. Sure, Shelby may not have been my biological child, but she was as good as! This wasn’t about protecting her. This was about Denise’s obsession with control. And her jealousy over Elon moving on with his life.

I couldn’t let it slide. I had to be the bigger person. I had to do the right thing.

When I told Elon about the cameras, he was furious.

His jaw clenched as he paced the room, muttering under his breath. But then he stopped, his expression softened into something I didn’t expect: a sly grin.

“Thanks, Lev,” he said. “I appreciate the honesty and the heads up. But now it’s my turn to ‘test’ Denise.”

“Wait,” I muttered. “What are you going to do?”

“Nothing hectic,” he replied sheepishly. “Don’t worry, I’ll let you know everything.”

He laid out his plan.

He was going to pretend he didn’t know about the cameras and act perfectly polite and loving with Lena. So much so that it would drive Denise up the wall. Then, he was going to set the stage for a confrontation.

Look, I wasn’t sure that it was the best idea, but even I had to admit that Denise needed to learn that her actions had consequences.

Elon knew Denise would watch every second of the footage. It was something that I believed too, even though the thought of it made me uneasy.

What was Denise still holding onto? Was this really about Shelby? Or was this about Elon finding love with someone else? I didn’t know what to think.

But Elon was absolutely right. Denise did watch every moment. He and Lena played their parts perfectly, making casual but affectionate comments to each other often. One offhand remark from Lena, about Elon loving her cooking, sent Denise spiraling.

“She thinks she’s so much better than me, Levi!” Denise ranted that night, pacing the living room. “As if her cooking could ever compare to mine. Seriously, what is this man thinking? She probably only wants his money… and the house.”

The next day, Denise announced that she was hosting a family dinner. She spent hours in the kitchen, preparing an elaborate spread.

Elon, of course, thought that it was the perfect chance to expose her publicly.

“Of course, I’ll be there!” he said into the phone. “Anything to make Shelby happy! And the kiddo loves having us all together.”

The dinner started off tense but polite. Denise was on edge, glaring at Lena whenever she laughed at one of Elon’s jokes. Elon, meanwhile, played the perfect guest, complimenting the food and chatting warmly.

But Denise couldn’t hold back for long. I knew she was biting her tongue. And I also knew that she was going to explode.

As dessert was served, a large cheesecake, Denise’s act began to crumble.

“So… now you like my cooking? It’s not so bad after all, is it?”

Elon set down his fork slowly, his expression calm but cold.

“What on earth are you talking about?”

“You know what I mean!” she snapped loudly, throwing her napkin to the floor. “I’m talking about your girlfriend supposedly cooking better than me. You love her cooking, don’t you?”

He leaned back, his gaze piercing.

“What are you getting this from, Denise? When have I ever said such a thing to your face? When have I ever told anyone that?”

Checkmate, I thought, taking a sip of my wine.

Denise faltered, her composure slipping.

“Of course, you said it… to your girlfriend,” she stammered. “I overheard it… you must have been here. How else would I hear it?”

Elon stood, his tone suddenly ice cold.

“I know about the cameras, Denise,” he said evenly. “I know what you did.”

The room went silent.

“That’s low. Real low. Do you realize that I could take you to court for this? Spying on me and my personal life? But I won’t. For the sake of our daughter, I’ll let this go, but let me be clear, this is your first and only warning. Do not interfere in my life again. Don’t even think about it. I have proof, and I won’t hesitate next time.”

Denise’s face went pale. She looked to me for support, but I shook my head.

“Yes, it was me. I told him about the cameras,” I said firmly. “I couldn’t hide something like that. It’s not just your reputation at stake but mine as well. And honestly, in this situation, I’m on his side.”

That was the final blow. Denise broke down into tears, apologizing to us all profusely.

Later that night, when Shelby was in bed and Denise and I were sitting on the porch outside, she admitted her true feelings. She admitted that she’d been struggling to cope with the divorce on a whole and that while she didn’t have any feelings for Elon, she was still jealous over Elon’s new relationship.

“I need you to consider therapy, love,” I said. “There’s a lot of unresolved feelings here. And they’re going to poison our marriage, your relationship with Elon, and eventually… your relationship with Shelby.”

“But… I don’t know, Levi,” she muttered.

“Denise… if you don’t try, I don’t know if we’ll survive.”

For once, Denise listened.

It had been months since that dinner, the night everything unraveled.

Since then, Denise had started her therapy, and while the progress wasn’t instant, I could see a change in her. She wasn’t as quick to lash out, and she seemed more focused on being present for our family.

One afternoon, she approached me in the kitchen, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.

“Elon asked me to meet him for coffee,” she said hesitantly.

I raised an eyebrow while chopping the vegetables for our noodles.

“I think I need to do this,” she said. “For closure.”

Denise sat across Elon, a steaming cup of tea between them. She had rehearsed this moment in her head for days, but now, the words caught in her throat.

Elon waited patiently, his expression unreadable.

“I owe you an apology,” she said quietly.

“For what, specifically?”

“For everything. For invading your privacy, for trying to control your life, for… not letting go.”

Elon leaned back in his chair, studying her.

“Why now?”

“Therapy has made me realize a lot of things, things I wasn’t ready to face before. I was angry about the divorce, and about how easily you seemed to move on… But then, how could I feel that way when I was already married to Levi? Instead of dealing with those feelings, I buried them under my need to be… right.”

“You always did hate losing,” he said.

A small smile tugged at her lips.

“That hasn’t changed, but I’ve realized that being right isn’t the same as being happy. And I wasn’t fair to you. Or Lena. Or Levi. Or Shelby.”

“I won’t lie, Denise,” Elon said. “What you did… it crossed a line. But I do appreciate you owning up to it. Now, for the love of all that’s good, live your life, Denise. Have some fun with Levi. Make memories. New memories. Don’t worry about the past, we’re good. And we can co-parent our child in peace.”

Denise laughed softly.

“That’s the last time I’ll actually accept your instructions,” she said.
