Goldie Hawn Shines at 79: Brings Entire Family to the Red Carpet — But It’s Her Granddaughter Who Stole the Spotlight 

Hollywood royalty made a sparkling return to the red carpet — and social media hasn’t stopped buzzing since. Legendary actress Goldie Hawn, now 79, stepped out in New York City on July 21, 2025, to attend the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2. But she didn’t come alone. In a rare and heartwarming moment, Goldie was surrounded by three generations of her blended family, creating a scene that was both glamorous and deeply personal.

Dressed in a shimmering blue-and-white gown that exuded both elegance and fun, Goldie smiled brightly for cameras alongside her son Oliver Hudson, his wife Erinn Bartlett, and their children Wilder, Bodhi, and Rio. But it was 11-year-old Rio, Goldie’s granddaughter, who truly lit up the event — drawing comparisons to a young Goldie herself with her golden locks, expressive eyes, and radiant smile.

As dazzling as the family looked together, it was Goldie’s playful behavior that sparked the most discussion. At one point, she struck a pose with her tongue out — a lighthearted moment that drew mixed reactions online. While many praised her vibrant spirit and unfiltered personality, others described her antics as “childlike” or “bizarre.”

But longtime fans weren’t surprised. Goldie has always brought humor, joy, and spontaneity to every appearance, whether on screen or on the red carpet. Her fans loved the reminder that age hasn’t dulled her sparkle — it’s only made her more fearless. 

The Missing Piece: Where Was Kurt Russell?

One noticeable absence from the premiere was Goldie’s longtime partner, Kurt Russell, who didn’t attend the event. However, his absence didn’t go unnoticed. Fans flooded social media with appreciation for the couple’s over-40-year relationship — one of Hollywood’s longest-lasting love stories.

They may have never married, but Goldie and Kurt’s bond remains stronger than ever. They’ve raised a beautiful and talented blended family that includes:

• Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson (from Goldie’s marriage to Bill Hudson)

• Boston Russell (Kurt’s son from a previous relationship)

• And their shared son, Wyatt Russell

In fact, fan-made AI-generated images imagining what additional children between the couple might have looked like quickly went viral, blending their iconic features into mesmerizing digital portraits. It was yet another sign that this Hollywood duo continues to captivate imaginations across generations.

A Family of Stars — and Real People

Each member of the Russell-Hawn clan has forged their own path:

Wyatt Russell, once a professional hockey player, has now carved out a successful career in Hollywood. Best known for his role as U.S. Agent in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Wyatt has become a fan favorite in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Outside of acting, he’s embraced fatherhood, welcoming son Buddy with actress wife Meredith Hagner.

Goldie and Kurt, now proud grandparents many times over, are lovingly called “Gogo and Gogi” by their grandchildren — a sweet nod to their offbeat yet loving family dynamic.

Oliver Hudson, ever the jokester, recently went viral for a hilarious video of himself streaking through the snow — completely nude. The internet couldn’t get enough. He later explained, “This is just how we are. Fun, open, always ourselves.”

Then there’s Boston Russell, Kurt’s eldest son, who prefers to stay out of the limelight. While he doesn’t chase the spotlight like his siblings, Boston is deeply cherished by the family and remains a part of their tight-knit inner circle.

And of course, Kate Hudson, Goldie’s daughter and award-winning actress, is also known for openly sharing the special bond she has with her mom. In interviews, she often recalls calling Goldie late at night for comfort — only to hear that her mother was out on the town enjoying life.

A Hollywood Family That Breaks the Mold

What makes the Russell-Hawn family so beloved isn’t just their star power — it’s their authenticity. In an industry known for fast breakups and fading fame, this family has endured through love, laughter, and a shared commitment to staying grounded.

Whether it’s Goldie’s joyful energy at age 79, Wyatt’s superhero roles, or Rio’s debut red carpet moment, the family continues to inspire across all generations. They’re a reminder that Hollywood can still offer real connection, genuine love, and multi-generational joy.

And the internet can’t get enough.
