In the book, titled Two Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family, one of the shocking claims that the musician makes is that his ex-wife, and mother to Kate, Goldie Hawn, carried on a series of brazen affairs during their relationship and begged Bill for an open marriage.
Bill alleges that Hawn had dalliances with her Shampoo co-star, Warren Beatty, and French actor Yves Renier, while she and Bill were still married. And he details the time he says Goldie informed him she was having an affair with a Swedish man named Bruno.
He writes in his book: “I have something to tell you,” Goldie said. “I’ve been seeing this guy in Sweden. His name is Bruno, and he’s coming to the States on Monday. He’s going to stay here for a couple of weeks before I leave to start shooting the movie in Denver with George Segal.”
“My mouth dropped open. I didn’t know how to respond. ‘Wait, weren’t we just saying how much we love each other? Didn’t we just make love for days on end? And now you tell me this guy is coming here and staying with you? Are you going to tell him about us?’
“She glared at me but didn’t say a word. That was all the answer I needed. ‘When you are finished with Bruno, you can call me. You have my number.’ And I left.”
Bill goes on to claim that after her encounter with Bruno, Goldie returned to him in tears — he writes: “I’m in love with you,” she said sobbing. “You’re my soul mate. I know it in my heart. It’s just that I’ve always believed in an open marriage.”
