They started dating in 1983 and have a blended family of four children: Kate and Oliver Hudson, from Goldie's previous marriage to Bill Hudson, Boston Russell, from Kurt's previous marriage to Season Hubley, and Wyatt Russell, whom the pair welcomed together.

Chris Weeks / Getty Images As the post continues to grab attention online, here are more long-term celebrity couples who are not married: 1. Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell have been romantically linked since 2013, about a year after they were cast as an on-screen couple in The Americans. They are not married, although at the 2018 Emmys, Matthew memorably joked about proposing to Keri.

She said, 'If you propose to me, I would punch you clean in the mouth.' I don't have the words or the time, neither of which would do you justice, Keri Lynn, except thank you, more to come, thank you." John Shearer / Getty Images 2. Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid met in 2013 and got engaged the following year. However, they called off their engagement late in 2015 and went their separate ways for a while. They ultimately reunited in 2016, and while they never got re-engaged, Courteney has referred to Johnny as her "husband" nevertheless, stating, "We're not married. I'm married in my heart." Steve Granitz / Getty Images 3. Winona Ryder and Scott Mackinlay Hahn have been dating since 2011. In 2016, Winona revealed that she was pretty unsure about tying the knot. "Marriage? I don't know. I'd rather never have been married than been divorced a few times. Not that there's anything wrong with divorce, but I don't think I could do it if that was a possibility...
When your parents are madly in love for 45 years, your standards are really high," she said. Andreas Rentz / Getty Images 4. Maya Rudolph and Paul Anderson have been together since 2001, and have welcomed four children over the years. Despite the fact that they are not married, Maya still calls Paul her husband, explaining during a 2018 interview that she felt "ooky" calling him her "boyfriend" after giving birth to their first child. "People know what that means. It means he's the father of my child, and I live with him, and we are a couple, and we are not going anywhere," she said. David Livingston / Getty Images 5. Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley started dating in 2009, and while they got engaged in 2016, they've yet to tie the knot. In 2018, Rosie noted that marriage was "not a huge priority" for her and Jason, who share two children. She said, "We're looking forward to that time. It's also not a huge priority for us. We're so happy." Michael Buckner / Getty Images 6. Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb have been together for almost two decades, falling in love back in 2007. A few months ago, Leslie explained why she does not want to marry Sam. She said, "Listen, I love Sam Rockwell. I would put him in my pocket and carry him with me all the time. I love him. I do not want to get married," before adding, "I feel like we are married!" Cbs Photo Archive / Getty Images Leslie also admitted that she used to feel "annoyed" when Sam would bring up the subject of marriage early in their relationship. "It annoyed the crap out of me because he's like, 'Really, you don't want to get married?' I was like, 'Stop saying it. I already said I don't want to marry you. Stop asking me like I'm gonna pull like a sneak on you.' But he didn't want it either," she recalled. "Maybe it's probably something about the way we grew up, but I feel like if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Axelle / Getty Images 7. Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham started dating back in 1986, and though they actually got engaged at one point, they've decided to remain unmarried. Years after calling off their engagement, Oprah recalled in a candid essay, "I realized I didn't actually want a marriage. I wanted to be asked. I wanted to know he felt
