This American musician and actor is the father of a famous actress and her brother.

They share the same mom, Goldie Hawn, who was his ex-wife.

The siblings have a tough and distant relationship with their father because he “left” them to start a new family with his late wife, Cindy Williams.

Cindy tried to bring the two families together, but it didn’t work out.

The actor was very upset and told his children they were “dead” to him.

The musician first met Goldie Hawn in 1975, when they were both at the height of their careers. They crossed paths on a first-class flight from New York to Los Angeles, and it was love at first sight.

At that time, he was well-known in the music industry as part of The Hudson Brothers. He and his brothers performed with popular bands like The Beach Boys, The Osmonds, and The Monkees. Besides music, he also acted in several films and TV shows, including the movie “Hysterical.”

He remembered that when he and Goldie Hawn first met, there was an immediate spark. He described their connection as instant, saying, “The attraction was instant. I invited her out to dinner that night, and that was it.”

He also talked about their physical relationship, saying it was “mind-blowing.” Even when other parts of their relationship were tough, he said the physical aspect was always amazing. Despite their challenges, there were times when things seemed to get better for them.

In 1976, the couple got married while Goldie was expecting their first child, a son. After their son was born at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, he was diagnosed with meconium aspiration. This is a serious condition that happens when a newborn breathes in amniotic fluid mixed with meconium.

Their son needed to be kept in isolation for three days after birth, which was a very tough time for them. The singer later said, “Goldie and I were beside ourselves” as they went through this stressful period.
