Hawn and Russell initially met while working in The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, which was released in 1968.

The actress was previously married to Gus Trikonis, and their marriage lasted from 1969 to 1976.

Russell was also previously married to Season Hubley from 1979 to 1983.

The two began a relationship and brought a 36-year-old son named Wyatt into their lives in 1986, and co-starred in Overboard, which was released the following year.

The couple have remained selective about appearing together ever since, though they did play Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus in 2018’s The Christmas Chronicles, as well as its 2020 sequel.

Hawn and Russell opened up about their relationship during an interview with Peoplewhere the latter expressed that he and his partner did not feel the need to formalize their relationship.

“For people like us, the marriage certificate wasn’t going to create anything we wouldn’t have otherwise,” he said.
