Kate Hudson is not only making waves with her debut album, “Glorious,” but also reflecting on her romantic journey. During a recent appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Hudson, 45, shared insights into her relationships and how they have shaped her life today.
First Love and Marriage to Chris Robinson
Kate Hudson described her first marriage to musician Chris Robinson as her “first real love.” The two met when Hudson was just 18 and got married in 2000. They were together until 2007. Despite their divorce, Hudson looks back fondly on their time together.
“The people in my life let people make mistakes. And, by the way — not a mistake,” she said, emphasizing that her marriage to Robinson was a formative experience. Hudson expressed that while societal norms often dictate how relationships should be, her journey has led her to believe in a different kind of family unit.
Reimagining Family and Relationships
Hudson discussed her views on family and relationships, advocating for the idea that raising children and creating a family can take various forms. She pointed to her blended family with fiancé Danny Fujikawa as an example. Hudson and Fujikawa have been engaged since 2021 and share a daughter, Rani Rose, who was born in October 2018.
“For me, having the means and the ability to choose to be more healthy in relationships means that it’s easy; it’s kind of been easier for me to exit unhealthy relationships,” Hudson shared. She noted that financial independence has given her the freedom to leave relationships that weren’t right for her, but she also acknowledged the importance of creating meaningful experiences, regardless of the relationship’s outcome.
Co-Parenting with Ex-Partners
Hudson has managed to maintain positive co-parenting relationships with her ex-partners. She and Chris Robinson share her eldest son, Ryder Robinson, who is now 20 years old. Hudson also shares a 12-year-old son, Bingham “Bing,” with Matt Bellamy, the frontman of Muse. Despite the end of their romantic relationship in 2014, Hudson and Bellamy have continued to co-parent effectively.
Hudson believes in the importance of creating a supportive and loving environment for her children, even if it means redefining traditional family structures. “Just because you’re not supposed to be with someone doesn’t mean you can’t create a big beautiful experience,” she said, reflecting on her ability to foster a positive family dynamic.
Impact of “Almost Famous” and Future Plans
In addition to discussing her personal life, Hudson also opened up about her career. She credits her role in “Almost Famous” with changing her life and opening up numerous opportunities. The film remains a significant milestone in her acting career.
Looking ahead, Hudson and Fujikawa have plans to get married “soon,” as she mentioned during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live. Despite her busy schedule, Hudson remains committed to both her career and her family.
Embracing New Musical Ventures
Hudson’s recent foray into music has been a long-time dream. She began working on her album “Glorious” in 2021, inspired by her passion for music. While she has no plans to leave acting behind, singing has brought her a new sense of fulfillment.
“Music was my first love,” Hudson said. “I’ve always wanted to explore this side of myself, and now feels like the right time.”
Conclusion
Kate Hudson’s journey through love, family, and career highlights her resilience and versatility. From her first marriage to her new musical endeavors, Hudson continues to inspire with her openness and determination. Fans eagerly await her future projects, both on screen and in the recording studio.
