Updated! A sneak peek into the family life of Kate Hudson

Virtually anyone who has spent time with her would agree that she is one excited individual who has the sweet gift of lightning up the room when she walks in. The Pretty Kate Hudson is unarguably in the league of Hollywood’s A-list actors. She started off in 1998 and since then has continued to move higher in the ladder of entertainment success. She was first a romantic comedy princess then later on began to get more diversified roles where she did exceptionally well each time.

Date of Birth: April 19, 1979

Zodiac Sign: Aries

Hudson’s private life is filled with so much stardom and some even suggest that she is a renowned actress today because she rode on her parent’s coattails. Kate has however addressed this false assumption saying she rose to stardom in her own right and has worked very hard for every role she appeared in. Her family is truly one of the top families in show-biz and we would be taking a detailed journey into the lives of each of them. Read on to see the members of her love life and everyone else in between.

Who are Kate Hudson’s parents?

Bill Hudson (biological father)

Kate Hudson's family - father Bill Hudson

Date of Birth: October 17, 1949

Zodiac Sign: Libra

Kate’s biological father is a musician and an actor best known for being a member of the pop band The Hudson Brothers (1965 – 1981). While growing up, his own father left the family when he was six and he sadly grew up to repeat this. On July 3, 1976; he married actress Goldie Hawn but their union lasted just four years and they had become parents to Oliver and his sister Kate.

Two years after his first divorce, Bill remarried another fellow actress Cindy Williams and they had two more children before their 2000 divorce. His youngest daughter is Lalania whom he had about a decade ago with a long-term girlfriend.

As Kate and her brother grew, they tried severally to make contact with their estranged biological father but it was to no avail so they had no choice but to love on Russell like their own father. Papa Hudson once mentioned that Kate and Oliver are dead too him and he sees himself as the birth father of just three kids as opposed to five.

Goldie Hawn (mother)

Kate Hudson's family - mother Goldie Hawn

Date of Birth: November 21, 1945

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio

Multiple-award winning actress Hawn is the famous mother to the How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days (2003) star. The charitable Goldie Jeanne has for over three decades now; remained a bankable star in the industry. Her first marriage was to dancer cum director Gus Trikonis for four years then a few other relationships followed until she met one of the Hudson Brothers on a first class flight from New York to L.A.

Kate Hudson's family - mother Goldie Hawn

Since early 1983, Goldie has been in a relationship with legendary actor Kurt Russell. They first met in 1986 on the set of a movie and it was not love at first sight. Nothing happened between the actors until 1983 when they were co-stars again on the set of Swing Shift (1984). Russell and Hawn have a son together and she is also the de facto stepmother to his son Boston from his previous marriage. Hawn has always been an extrovert and she is a spectacular mum to each of her children, biological or not.


Kurt Russell (step-father)

Kate Hudson's family - step-father Kurt Russell

Date of Birth: March 17, 1951

Zodiac Sign: Pisces

He was married to Season Hubley for a few years but his long-term epic romance with Hawn is more recognized and appreciated. Kurt (who is five years younger) and Goldie have been regarded as one of Hollywood’s golden couple even though they never made it officially to any altar. Both lovers are Hollywood Walk of Famers and have since lived and co-parented their kids together. After Goldie met Kurt, he adopted her kids and raised them as his own.

The lovebirds have walked endless amounts of red carpets together and they have such an amazing blended family and every member of their extended family is highly supportive of themselves. Goldie mentioned once that had she been married to the Fast and Furious 7 (2016) actor, she doubts that they would have lasted as she sees marriage as a psychological event that puts a limit on one’s freedom and independence. Both actors feel strongly that a lasting relationship is not about marriage but about compatibility and communication and they obviously do not lack these two key factors. Hence, it is right to say the Hollywood ‘role-models’ are happily unmarried!

Who are Kate Hudson’s siblings?

Oliver Rutledge Hudson (older brother from same parents)

Fujikawa studied music in New York University but did not graduate and according to his LinkedIn profile, he founded his own record company, Lightwave Records in 2013.

Although Danny and Kate made their red carpet debut in May 2017, both lovers have known each other for about 15 years. She was “enormously” pregnant with Ryder at the time when they first met and she shared that they have been in the same circle for years. The Almost Famous (2000) actress continued that her sweetheart was introduced to her by her best friends Sara and Erin Foster as he is a stepbrother to them. She added that she has known his family since forever and they have a very powerful connection indeed.

So they celebrated their 15th year of knowing each other by opening their hearts to each other to feel a love so pure that it has been truly incredible. We do not know what plans these lovebirds have for their future but all we know is that they have now consummated their love with a pretty baby girl.

Hudson also shared openly that they have been trying to keep the pregnancy off the radar for as long as possible but now that she is popping now, it’s just exhausting to hide.
