Hollywood power-couple Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have explained why they never got married in their 37 years together.
Kurt, 69, and Goldie, 75, have been together for almost four decades but have stayed an unmarried couple.
Now the pair have discussed the importance of marriage or lack thereof while promoting their new Netflix film The Christmas Chronicles 2 where they play Santa Claus and Mrs Claus.
Speaking to People, Kurt explained why marriage was not necessary for the couple.
Kurt revealed: "For people like us, the marriage certificate wasn't going to create anything that otherwise we wouldn't have."
Goldie then spoke about how their children had gotten married but it is not necessarily important to romantic happiness.
Russell has a son named Boston from his first marriage, while Hawn has daughter Kate Hudson, 41, and son Oliver Hudson, 44, from her previous marriage.
The pair share 34-year-old son and Black Mirror star Wyatt Russell, who himself married actress Meredith Hagner in September last year.
He was previously married to stylist Sanne Hamers from 2012 until their divorce in 2017.
Meanwhile, Oliver has been married to actress Erinn Bartlett from 2006, while Kate was married Chris Robinson from 2000 to 2007 and then was in a relationship with Muse singer Matt Bellamy from 2010 to 2014.
She is now in a relationship with Danny Fujikawa who she has been seeing since 2016.
"It's okay. It’s not about the marriage. It's about the people and the relationship, and the will to stay together," Hawn notes.
"And that’s a big one because if you want it, you can have it.
"You've got to give things up, but the joy and the excitement of being together and touching the toes of somebody at night is really a nice feeling."
Goldie also notes that the key to being together for so long is the "want" to be together.
The interview also saw the couple express the importance of "gratitude" if they are to be happy.
The Christmas Chronicles 2 is available now on Netflix.
