Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell Welcome 8th Grandbaby — First Photo & Name Revealed

Hollywood’s beloved couple, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, are once again grandparenting in style as they welcome their eighth grandbaby into the fold. In a heartwarming revelation on Instagram, their son Wyatt Russell and his wife, Meredith Hagner, shared the first glimpse of their newborn baby, named Boone Joseph Russell.

The arrival of Boone has been a beacon of joy for the family, entering the world on February 13, a full week ahead of his anticipated due date. Weighing in at a healthy 8 pounds and 3 ounces.

The name Boone resonates with a rich tapestry of meanings. It’s a boy’s name of French origin that translates to “blessing” or “lucky.” Since its debut in the US Top 1000 in 2015, Boone has ascended the charts with its lean and lanky appeal.

Fans have been quick to express their delight and best wishes to the new family of three, with comments pouring in celebrating Boone’s arrival and his distinctive name. The outpouring of love and excitement is palpable, each message expressing love for Boone’s name. One fan gushed: “Are you kidding me that’s so darn cute!”

Another fan shared that his name was reminiscent of Boone, NC. Other fans simply showered the couple with love and congratulations on their brand new baby boy. Many fans said what a lovely family they were and wished them well as they raised their sons.

Adding to the familial warmth, Kurt Russell—affectionately nicknamed “Gogi” by his grandchildren, a nod to his own childhood nickname given to him because he couldn’t pronounce words correctly yet—has expressed immense pride in watching his son embrace fatherhood. Kurt has a strong presence as a guiding force and a commitment to helping raise his grandchildren wherever possible.

Kurt shared that he was a hands-off grandfather, but Wyatt clarified that his father often helped him with his eldest son, guiding him when he needed it and teaching him right from wrong. Kurt shared that he felt blessed to be able to be part of his family as they all supported one another.

As previously reported on December 18, 2023:

Meredith Hagner reveals the gender of her second child with Wyatt Russell in a new Instagram post. She also announced their due date, which is slated for February 2024.

“Deeply, deeply grateful,” she wrote in her caption. Wyatt and Meredith are also parents to their first-born son, Buddy Prine Russell.

Back then, Wyatt gushed about being a dad. “It’s everything you didn’t know it was going to be,” he said in a candid interview. “Now, it’s about him and your family and trying to balance everything.”

In the same way that Wyatt and Meredith are happy to be parents, Goldie and Kurt are just as delighted to be grandparents. According to Goldie, her grandchildren call her “GoGo.”

Goldie and Kurt are grandparents to Kate Hudson’s kids, Ryder, Bingham, and Rani; Oliver Hudson’s children, Wilder, Bojdi, and Rio; and Wyatt’s two boys.

Goldie is so dedicated to being a grandmother that she admitted to no longer giving her children advice. Instead, she’s moved on to teaching her grandchildren by example.

“You’ve got to work for a living, stay compassionate, and stay realistic,” she said. “I’m passing that on because that was what my father taught me: stay in reality.”

Meredith Hagner, who married Kurt Russell in 2019, previously shared a pregnancy photo on Instagram with an emotional caption on motherhood. Fans praised her for her outlook and her relatable message.
