After her divorce from Bill Hudson, the “Private Benjamin” actress Goldie Hawn was skeptical about her ex-husband’s new beau Cindy Williams’ intentions to create a cross-family relationship between her kids and their half-siblings.
Bill Hudson married Cindy Williams after his divorce from Goldie Hawn, with whom he shared two kids, Oliver and Kate. After their divorce, Hudson and Williams went on to have other kids.
In 1975 Hudson was on a flight from New York to Los Angeles when he met Hawn, who had boarded the same plane. The pair developed a relationship and married just a year later, on June 3, 1976.
On September 7, 1976, the pair welcomed their first child, Oliver Hudson, two months after they tied the knot. Their second child, daughter Kate Hudson, was born on April 19, 1979.
A year after their daughter was born, the couple’s relationship declined, and Hudson filed for divorce on August 15, 1979. Since their breakup, Hudson and Hawn’s relationship has been strained. The former does not have a good relationship with his kids as well.
Williams, whose family was the most important thing to her, passed away in January 2023 after battling a short illness. Her children shared the news, saying she was a wonderful woman who would be sorely missed.
