Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell's Cute Quotes About Being Grandparents

Could you imagine having Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell as your grandma and grandpa? Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson‘s kids don’t have to! Since the Overboard alums took on the role of grandparents over a decade ago, their sweetest quotes prove they couldn’t be more in love with their growing brood of grandchildren.

Goldie and Kurt’s eldest grandchild, Ryder, arrived when Kate gave birth to him alongside ex-husband Chris Robinson in 2004. Following the couple’s split in 2007, Kate welcomed baby No. 2, a son named Bingham, with her then-boyfriend, Matt Bellamy, in 2011. The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star also became the mom of her youngest child, Rani Rose, with current boyfriend Danny Fujikawa in 2018.

As for Goldie and Kurt’s son Oliver, he’s also the proud dad of three kids. In 2007, the Rules of Engagement actor welcomed his eldest son, Widler, with wife Erinn Bartlett. The pair — who tied the knot in 2006 — added to their family when son Bodhi arrived in 2010, followed by their youngest daughter, Rio, in 2013.

Although the First Wives Club actress and the Escape From New York actor’s two other kids, Boston Russell and Wyatt Russell, have yet to welcome any children of their own, they sure have something to look forward to. In fact, a source close to longtime lovebirds, who began dating in 1983, once revealed how much Goldie adores being a grandma.

“Goldie is the best Glam-ma ever,” the insider exclusively shared with Closer Weekly. “She and Kate are super close, but Goldie and Kate’s children, who all call her ‘GoGo,’ have a very special bond.”

Not only is the Academy Award winner a good role model to be around, but the source said Kate and Oliver’s kids think she’s so entertaining. “Rani Rose and the boys, Bingham and Ryder, consider GoGo their go-to for fun, and Goldie loves that,” the insider explained. “It’s 24/7 fun and laughter.”

The source told Closer that the couples’ grandkiddos especially love to visit when their Hollywood parents are out of town. “Anything goes at Goldie and Kurt’s home,” the insider insisted. “All the grandkids have a blast at GoGo’s and that’s made Kate and Goldie’s bond even tighter.”

Considering the Snatched actress and the Tombstone alum share such an incredible bond with their grandkids, the duo’s children are extra grateful. “Kate knows that when she drops her kids off at her mom’s house, or Goldie comes to hers, her children are safe and sound, learning and laughing,” the insider dished. “There’s no better feeling than that. Kate knows she’s blessed to have Goldie in her life and especially her kids’ lives.”

On Spending Time With Rani

Following Rani’s birth in October 2018, Kurt opened up about spending the first Christmas with their new grandbaby.

“[Rani] is the sixth grandchild, Kate’s first daughter. Along with the other five now, it is obviously a fantastic addition, and it will be fun just to watch her little eyes looking at the lights on the Christmas tree and taking it all in for the first time,” he gushed to People.

On Rani’s Birth

Considering Rani is Kate’s first and only daughter, the Thing actor raved over watching her parent a little girl.

“We’re really glad that she got [a daughter] and had an opportunity to have her,” Kurt gushed to People. “We’re proud of Danny and the relationship that grew between Kate and Danny — the result being Rani Rose.”

On Family Traditions

“We always trim the tree on Christmas Eve and we have a big meal,” Kurt once told Closer of their family traditions during the holidays. After dinner, “the grandkids put their pajamas on and hang up their stockings. We get the fire going and when it gets dark we always choose someone to read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.”

On Learning From Kids

While being featured in People‘s “Beautiful Issue,” Goldie revealed how she uses her role as a mom and grandma to learn from her children and grandchildren.

“Listen, our children are our greatest teachers. And you should be, as a parent, available to learn, because you don’t know everything,” Goldie explained. “[Your kids] are not you. And you’re not me. And that is the one thing that we have to remember.”

On Being Good Role Models

While chatting with Closer about their kids and grandkids, the Golden Globe winner explained why she considers her and Kurt “really good parents.”

“He’s a good person. A fun, good person,” Goldie said. “We come together and appreciate all the moments we are together. We love our family, it matters that we are a unit. We are happy in our world. Happiness is the goal.”
