Kate said that her parents shared the same values. The couple has kids from other relationships, and the family became a melting pot of a family. Goldie had two kids from her previous relationships, Oliver and Kate. Kurt had a son, Boston, from his previous marriage. They share a son, Wyatt Rusell.

Keeping their romance alive

When things get tough, Hawn said they relive their romance by watching the movies that they made together. The couple starred in Overboard, a classic rom-com that highlighted their chemistry.
"You know how sometimes you forget why you fell in love? I remembered everything and why I fell in love. It was really something to be able to watch that."
