We all know that Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have very famous children – if this family could have a reality TV show, it would make millions of dollars. But there’s one child that’s possibly less famous than his other siblings, and that’s their youngest son, Wyatt Russell. Wyatt is the only child of Goldie and Kurt, and he has three adoring older siblings – Boston Russell from his father’s side, and Oliver and Kate Hudson from his mom’s side. Despite being part of a highly talented and well-known family, Wyatt’s own fame and recognition have been relatively understated compared to his siblings.
An actor like his parents, the 37-year-old doesn’t have a social media presence of his own, unlike his famous half-siblings, making him a lot more private than the rest of the brood. While his siblings often share glimpses of their lives on platforms like Instagram and Twitter, Wyatt prefers to maintain a low profile. However, that doesn’t mean he is completely disconnected from his family. The Russells do have an active WhatsApp group, where they likely keep in touch and share updates with each other.
In a rare public appearance together, Kurt, 72, and his youngest were photographed together at the Hollywood photocall for their new Apple TV+ series “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.” This series presents an opportunity for Wyatt to shine, as he plans to portray a younger version of Kurt’s iconic character. The resemblance between father and son is uncanny, a testament to the strong familial ties that exist within the Russell household. From the photos, it’s evident that they are not only related but also share a great bond and genuinely enjoy promoting the series together.
Wyatt is happily married to Meredith Hagner, an actress, and the pair have been together since 2015. The couple tied the knot in 2019 and welcomed their first child, a son named Buddy Prine Russell. Wyatt and Meredith are reportedly expecting another child, who will bring further joy and love into their growing family. Despite his famous background, Wyatt values the importance of self-reliance and hard work, instilled in him by his parents from a young age.
In a 2016 conversation with Interview Magazine, Wyatt revealed that his father always emphasized the value of doing things for oneself, regardless of the privileges of wealth. Goldie Hawn, his mother, shared the same sentiment. They taught their children not only to appreciate the opportunities that come their way but also to understand the responsibility that accompanies them. Wyatt spoke about how he never relied on his parents for assistance, even when he transitioned from playing hockey to pursuing an acting career.
Wyatt and Meredith’s relationship started on the set of the film “Folk Hero & Funny Guy” in 2015. Their connection grew over the course of three years, leading to a magical Christmas proposal in 2018. Surrounded by their loved ones in Wyatt’s native Colorado, he popped the question, and Meredith joyously accepted. The heartfelt moment was shared with the world through Meredith’s Instagram, where she expressed her love for the man she considers “the love of my dang life.”
Wyatt Russell may be the lesser-known child of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, but he is carving his own path in the entertainment industry. Despite not having the same level of fame as his siblings, Wyatt’s talent and dedication to his craft shine through. With his loving wife by his side, he is building a beautiful family while staying true to his values of independence and hard work. It’s time for the world to recognize Wyatt Russell’s unique talents and contributions, as he continues to make a name for himself in Hollywood.
