When we mention “Kate Hudson” and “music industry,” most people recall her Oscar-nominated role as Penny Lane in “Almost Famous.” However, Hudson is now making headlines as a musician. Her debut album, “Glorious,” officially went on sale last Friday. This marks a significant shift in her career.
From Acting to Singing
Kate Hudson spoke with Jimmy Fallon earlier this month about her journey into music. “It’s like too much to explain. It’s just the greatest feeling,” she shared. Hudson has loved music her entire life. She has been writing songs for years but never considered releasing them until the COVID-19 pandemic. “I just thought it was something I’d only have for myself, until COVID. And then I was like… ‘I’ll regret not just putting it out in the world.’ So I did,” she explained.
Performance on “The Voice”
Hudson’s new venture into music reached a wider audience when she appeared on NBC’s “The Voice” Season 25 finale. She performed a song from her album “Glorious,” surprising many fans with her vocal talent. This performance marked a significant moment in her music career.
Family Life
While many know about her famous mother, Goldie Hawn, and her stepfather, Kurt Russell, Hudson also has a family of her own. Hudson was married to Chris Robinson, the founder of The Black Crowes, from 2000 to 2007. They share a son, Ryder Robinson, who is now 20 years old.
In 2010, Hudson began dating Matt Bellamy, the frontman of Muse. They have a son named Bingham, who turned 12 last summer. Although they were engaged for several years, they eventually called it off. Hudson has always been open about her relationships and how they shaped her life. “I knew it was the right thing to not be in those relationships,” she said on the Table for Two podcast.
Relationship with Danny Fujikawa
Hudson began dating Danny Fujikawa in 2016. The two had known each other for over a decade before they started dating. They welcomed their daughter, Rani Rose, in 2018. The baby girl was named in honor of Danny’s late grandfather, Ron Fujikawa. Hudson and Fujikawa announced their engagement in September 2021. They are currently planning their wedding. “Right now, planning a wedding feels insane,” Hudson said on the Table for Two podcast. “But I’m excited to plan a wedding.”
Hudson’s Parents
Kate Hudson was born to Bill Hudson and Goldie Hawn. Her parents divorced in 1982 after six years of marriage. Hudson was estranged from her father until recently. Her mother, Goldie Hawn, has been in a long-term relationship with Kurt Russell. They were never officially married but have been together for decades. Hudson has an older brother, Oliver, who also reconnected with their father recently.
Future Plans
Hudson’s debut album, “Glorious,” is just the beginning of her musical journey. She plans to continue both her acting and singing careers. Fans are eager to see what she will do next. Hudson’s ability to balance her career and personal life is truly inspiring. She is excited about the future and the opportunities it holds.
