Wyatt Russell and Meredith Hagner’s Relationship: All About the Hollywood Stars’ Romance

Just like his parents, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, Russell fell in love on set.

He and Wagner met in 2016 while filming Folk Hero & Funny Guy — but it wouldn’t be the last time the two worked together. The pair also starred in the 2017 film Ingrid Goes West, and Russell made a small cameo in Wagner’s 2025 film You’re Cordially Invited.

“So I’ll do a project, he’ll do a project, just kind of what’s coming both our ways, and this was my turn to work and he was kind of holding it down with the babies and I was like, ‘Babe, there’s this little cameo in the movie,’ ” Wagner told ScreenRant in February 2025 of Russell’s appearance.

She continued, “And I bullied him into it and he was like, ‘What’s the part? And then he literally cut a mutton chop beard for it.”

“It’s literally one second, which makes me laugh so hard. He did mutton chops for this one-second blink-you-miss cameo,” Wagner added.

Russell proposed to Hagner in December 2018

In 2018, Russell proposed to Hagner over the Christmas holiday in Snowmass, Colo. The actress shared the engagement news on Instagram, posting photos of her diamond halo engagement ring and the two embracing.

“the love of my dang life proposed to me. He is the best guy in the world,” she wrote in the caption. “It was an epic surprise surrounded by our closest family and I would give the proposal 5 stars on yelp!!!!!”

They wed in Aspen in September 2019

In September 2019, Russell and Hagner tied the knot in Aspen at Hawn’s house. Russell’s dad, sister Kate Hudson and brother Oliver Hudson were also in attendance as guests were transported to their family home in school buses.

The couple also hosted a rehearsal dinner the night before their wedding at a restaurant in town where Russell and Wagner were photographed wearing matching navy blue shirts and cowboy hats, leaning into the western theme. 

Russell and Hagner share two sons

Russell and Hagner welcomed their first child together, son Buddy Prine, in March 2021. Later that month, Russell opened up to Entertainment Tonight about becoming a new dad.

“It’s everything you didn’t know it was going to be,” he said. “I think everything you hope it’s gonna be is like a mish-mash in your mind before it really happens and then after it happens, whatever happened before is almost like [it never happened].”

Russell added, “Biologically, I think it does something to your brain where you just erase half your life before you’ve lived there. And now it’s about him and your family and trying to balance everything, and time, and new, amazing problems, amazing issues to have.”

Their second son, Boone Joseph, was born in February 2024. Wagner announced the news on Instagram, sharing a photo of her and Russell kissing as she held their newborn in a hospital bed.

“Boone Joseph Russell. Born Feb 13, a week before his due date. 8 pounds 3 oz of heaven. Hearts overflowing,” she wrote in the caption.

While speaking to PEOPLE a year later in April 2025, Russell reflected on how becoming a father of two helped him understand his own parents’ perspective more.

“When you become a parent, you realize what your parents feel about you,” he said. “And so you realize that all they want you to be is happy. They want you to live a fulfilled life, and that’s all you care about for your kids. And so I’m imagining that’s all my parents care about.”

They love to travel

Russell and Hagner enjoy spending quality time together — especially while on vacation. Their trips have varied from a camping trip in Oregon to a vacation in Greece.

In March 2021, the couple opened up to Vogue about converting a Mercedes Sprinter van and taking a road trip while expecting their first child. The van had a stovetop, dining banquette and sleeping areas.

“Vacations were always a little difficult because we have to plan last-minute because of our jobs,” Russell said, highlighting the convenience of an RV.

Hagner also noted that the trip sounded more glamorous than it really was, joking that “more often than not you’re in a timed shower in a rest stop, laughing because you didn’t get enough quarters and the water stops while your hair’s still covered in soap.”

Russell and Hagner prefer to keep their relationship private

The actors tend to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, with Hagner previously referring to Russell as her “Instagram loathing dream person.” However, they have attended a few red carpets together, including the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar party and the 2022 Apple TV+ Primetime Emmy party.

In January 2024, Wagner stepped out with Russell for the premiere of his film Night Swim. The actress shared photos from the night on Instagram, praising her husband’s work.

“film was SO. GOOD . SO. SCARY! Amazing performances. Endlessly proud of my guy who’s so talented and humble and being his plus one is so fun,” she wrote in the caption.

Most recently, Hagner was by Russell’s side at the premiere of Thunderbolts* in April 2025.
