Many have wondered how Hawn and Russell have maintained such a happy, long-lasting relationship, especially in Hollywood. Hawn has been the only woman widely associated with Russell for so long due to their strong bond and commitment. However, many people may not know that Russell was once married to Season Hubley, a well-known actress from the 1970s and early 1980s.
Over time, some people have rediscovered Hubley and Russell’s brief marriage, claiming that she was more beautiful and better suited for Russell than Hawn. Keep reading to learn more about Hubley and her relationship with Russell.
Despite being together for 41 years, Hawn and Russell have no plans to marry. Hawn explained their decision in a 2007 interview with Woman’s Day, saying, “We have done just perfectly without marrying. I already feel devoted, and isn’t that what marriage is supposed to do? As long as my emotional state is one of devotion, honesty, caring, and love, then we’re fine.”
In 2015, she added, “I would have been long divorced if I’d been married. Marriage is an interesting psychological thing. If you need to feel bound to someone, then it’s important to be married. If you have independence, and like your independence, there’s something psychological about not being married because it gives you the freedom to make decisions one way or the other. For me, I chose to stay. Kurt chose to stay, and we like the choice.”
Russell echoed similar sentiments in a 2018 interview with the Daily Mail, stating that the most important value for them was that “the kids come first.” When discussing the secrets behind their enduring love, Russell and Hawn emphasized the importance of the intention to be happy, having a purpose, and a little bit of fun.
Hawn explained, “It’s not about what you do; it’s how you do it.” Russell added, “Goldie can literally walk away sometimes and make me laugh. She’s funny by nature. She just… is.”
At 73, Russell has only been married once, to Season Hubley, whom he married in 1979. Hubley was well-known during the 1970s and early 1980s, with notable roles in films like Hardcore, Escape from New York, Vice Squad, and the soap opera All My Children. Hubley and Russell portrayed Elvis and Priscilla Presley in the 1979 biographical film Elvis. A year after their marriage, Hubley gave birth to Boston Russell, Kurt’s eldest son and only child with her. However, their marriage ended in divorce in 1983.
Unlike Russell, Hubley stepped away from the spotlight, choosing a quieter life away from Hollywood. According to her IMDb profile, her last known media credit was in 1999, when she starred as Sarah Gorban in Flipper. Since then, Hubley has not appeared in any films or television series.
Despite her retreat from the limelight, some fans have remembered her on social media, comparing her to Hawn. While some believe Hubley was more beautiful than Hawn, the majority agree that both actresses are beautiful in their own ways. Many also feel that Hawn’s personality and iconic smile give her an edge, making her more lovable and likable.
For 40 years, Russell and Hawn’s love has remained strong, and Russell has played a vital role in the lives of Hawn’s children, Kate and Oliver Hudson, who have a strained relationship with their biological father, Bill Hudson. Kate and Oliver have often expressed pride in their closeness with Russell, who has been a father figure to them for many years.
