The Hawn-Hudson-Russells prove that it’s not DNA that makes a family; it’s love.
And there’s a whole lot of it between them.
“We’re a very tight family.
We all live very close to each other.
They’re amazing people, amazing grandparents, amazing parents,” Oliver toldUs Weeklyin 2021.
And it sure seems like the admiration is mutual.
“You’re always proud of your kids,” Kurt said in an interview withFamily Entourage’sKelli Gillespie.
While Kate is close with Hawn, she and her biological father have a complicated relationship.
Like Kate and Hawn, Bill made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
“But later on, I kind of rejected it because I was like, ‘You know what?’
As you do when you’re dealing with daddy issues.
I don’t want to connect to that part because that’s my dad.
That’s all Dad.
She echoed these sentiments again in a chat with “Sunday Today with Willie Geist.”
“I have a great family; I have a beautiful mother.
In 2015, she posted a photo of herself and Russell onInstagramand wrote, “Pa, just simply …
Happy Father’s Day, I love you to the moon and back.”
In 2022, she created another touchingInstagrampost that featured a sweet throwback of her and Russell.
Happy Father’s Day.”
Kate Hudson has also enjoyed her own success in the entertainment industry.
Thankfully, there’s no hint of competition or jealousy between the two.
“There’s no emulating Mama’s career,” she added.
“She’s an original.
She’s an icon.
It’s a different generation.”
In 2022,Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudsonjoined forces for a Stuart Weitzman campaign.
“There’s a lot of expectation coming into it.”
The mom and daughter duo are close and have a beautiful bond.
“I mean really, mom was so available to being my greatest cheerleader.”
“I pretty much talk to her every day.
I can’t really go a week.
I’ve gone a week, but it’s super rare.”
The “Bride Wars” actor has worked hard to co-parent with her exes.
with Laura Wasser.”
“It’s just a different kind of relationship.
And she’s following her example, letting her children determine their own relationship with their fathers.
Born in 1975, Oliver is the eldest child of Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson.
In 2015, things reached a boiling point when Bill publicly disowned Oliver and Kate.
“I had five birth children, but I now consider myself a father of three.
I no longer recognize Oliver and Kate as my own,” Bill told theDaily Mail.
“I would ask them to stop using the Hudson name.
They are no longer a part of my life.”
The same Father’s Day, Oliver also posted about Kurt Russell onInstagram.
“We’ve shot some texts back and forth.”
It turns out his post from three years earlier was the catalyst.
So now we’re kind of keeping in touch.”
“I did get arrested when I was 16 years old.
and I said, ‘Oh my God.
Kurt Russell,'” he shared on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” in 2022.
When it came time to call his parents, the police were in disbelief over who his stepfather was.
As Hudson remembered, Russell kept a relatively level head about all of it.
“But he was not a happy dad, let’s just say that.”
When it came time to teach Hudson a lesson, Russell got rather creative.
And yes, it involved a paintball gun.
I put that on myself.
And [Kurt] said, ‘Look, Oliver, you have to stop caring.
While Hudson acknowledges this statement is easier said than done, he values Russell’s guidance.
“I think that’s the best advice because it frees you up,” he shared.
For a long time, Oliver Hudson figured he’d do the same.
“I didn’t want to get married.
I thought that the perfect relationship was Kurt and Mom,” Hudson said in an interview with E!
News (viaPeople).
The “this” he was referring to?
Why, that would be his relationship with actor Erinn Bartlett.
Hudson figured he and Bartlett would stay happily unmarried forever, and Bartlett seemed cool with that, too.
As Hudson dished E!
However, Hudson’s mom urged him to change his tune.
Do you want to spend the rest of your life with this person or not?'"
The proposal came in February 2004, and the couple married in June 2006 on a beach in Mexico.
They now have three, with Bodhi Hawn arriving in 2010 and Rio Laura in 2013.
This is not Oliver’s first time speaking about how he and Kate make different decisions.
“[It’s] worth the risk.
You need an uncle that’s gonna let them do things.”
Oliver Hudson and Kate Hudson have a podcast
Some siblings don’t work well together.
That’s not the case for Oliver Hudson and Kate Hudson.
In 2019, the brother-sister duo launched a podcast called “Sibling Revelry.”
And they have yet to hold back.
And that’s how we grew up, being very open with our feelings."
Their podcast has been a memorable experience for both of them, and it even strengthened their bond.
He was born on July 10, 1986, making him the youngest in the family.
and starring in series like “Lodge 49” and “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.”
Once upon a time, Kurt wanted to be a pro baseball player.
Not unlike his father, Wyatt also hoped to be a professional athlete.
“I was playing minor professional hockey in Europe, which is like you’re not going anywhere.”
As for what they told him?
“Learn your lines.
Show up on time.
And don’t be a jerk,” he recalled.
Wyatt also noted how, as a parent, the focus shifts to your child.
“And now it’s about him and your family and trying to balance everything,” he said.
And as for his parents and their role as grandparents?
Family is incredibly important to Hawn.
Unlike the rest of Boston’s family, he has chosen a path away from the limelight.
Kate Hudson has said a bit about her stepbrother, all while respecting his privacy.
and I was meeting his son which meant … does this mean this is my brother?'"
Suffice to say, Hudson was right to think it was a big moment for their family.
