Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell's brood just got bigger. The happy Hollywood couple welcomed a new addition to the family, arriving just in time for Goldie's 80th birthday

The adored actress revealed she and Kurt welcomed a rescue dog into their home and gave him an adorable name. 

In true Goldie style, she delivered the news in a quirky way. She used a photo from a recent shoot in which she sat in a wide-legged straddle on top of a living room table. Underneath the extravagant piece of furniture stood an adorable looking pup.

"Kurt surprised me with him for my birthday a few months ago. Rescued all the way from Korea through @lifeanimalrescue and already stealing the spotlight (even from under the table) during our @people shoot," she wrote, before acknowledging the other dog in the photo, their beloved pet Roy. 

"Big brother Roy loves him," she confirmed. "We all do. Lucky us."

Life Animal Rescue was one of the first to comment and wrote: "We are so thrilled for Rocky to have the most amazing family filled with love! Thank you for opening your home and hearts to this sweet boy- we are so grateful!"

Many fans said they loved the name they chose and also referenced their other pooch's moniker.

Goldie and Kurt rescued Roy as a puppy in 2021 and fans believe his name is a nod to her hit film Overboard. 

Roy is the name Goldie's character, Joanna, guessed her 'son' is called after she is quizzed by onscreen 'husband' Dean — played by Kurt. In the hit 1987 movie, Joanna loses her memory and carpenter Dean tries to brainwash her into believing she is his wife, Annie, and the mother of his four sons.

Many of Goldie's fans quickly commented that they were having an Overboard flashback.
