In her biography, "A Lotus Grows In The Mud," the renowned star, who also has a son named Wyatt Russell with Kurt (his youngest), referred to Boston as her son or stepson.
Goldie said Kurt, with whom she has been romantically involved for over four decades, was God sent into her life and her then-young kids, Oliver and Kate. He opened his heart to her and her son and daughter, lighting up their lives.
The famed Golden Globe Award winner further divulged that Kurt's son Boston "brought even more joy to our family, adding petal to our flower."
