Whether you think of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Day’s peppy Andie Anderson or the effortlessly cool Penny Lane from Almost Famous, it’s safe to say Kate Hudson has always been that girl.
An OG Nepo Baby, the now 45-year-old actress has cemented herself as one of Hollywood’s leading ladies in the world of romantic comedies whilst also finding time to carve out a music career on top of life as a mother of three.
Now, as the actress stars in the Netflix series Running Point, we’re rounding up everything you need to know about her children, relationship history and family life.
How many biological kids does Kate Hudson have?
Kate Hudson is a proud mother of three children; Ryder, Bingham and Rani.
The actress has never been shy about showing off her kids and frequently shares a look inside the busy household’s everyday life on Instagram and TikTok.
Kate has been open about her blended family dynamics, previously telling The Sunday Times that although it may be traditional, it worked for their household.
“It might not look traditional from the outside, but on the inside, I feel like we’re killing it,” she said of co-parenting with the three men. “The unit that I’ve created with three children with three different fathers is a seriously strong unit, and it’s ours.”
Ryder Russell Robinson, 21
The actress welcomed her first child, Ryder Russell Robinson, with her ex-husband Chris Robinson in 2004. Now 21, he is a musician and plays guitar in his band Codependence.
“Ryder — I mean, he’s clearly gonna probably follow in the footsteps of the family,” Kate previously said of her eldest during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. “And I would say he’s probably the funniest in our family. So, this is like every day for me. Nobody makes me laugh like Ryder, and he just constantly makes fun of me.”
Bingham Hawn Bellamy, 13
Kate went on to welcome a second son, Bingham Hawn, in 2011, with her former fiancé Matt Bellamy. Now 13, Kate has often shared insight into her middle child’s keen interest in the world of finance.
“He trades his own stocks. He reads at 12, he reads the news about where things are,” she told People. “He knows the class of each stock and each bond and all this stuff. It’s crazy. So he’ll be very interesting to watch grow up.”
Throughout his life, Kate has also been open about how she and Matt co-parent, often sharing their blended families enjoying time together over the holidays.
“One thing that Matt said to me, which I loved, is ‘I just want to make sure that Bing feels like he’s gaining something, not losing something,'” she told Women’s Health. “I think it’s even bonded us closer — me, Matt, Elle and Danny — because we have to trust that we’re protecting each other.”
Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa, 6
In 2018, Kate’s family grew once more after she welcomed her first daughter, Rani, with her fiancé Danny Fujikawa.
“She’s really special,” Kate told Entertainment Tonight. “She’s just this loving, funny — she’s hilarious, oh my God — and she likes to be funny. You know, she’s goofy.”
For Rani’s 4th birthday in October 2022, grandparents Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell got into the spirit by dressing up in prince and princess costumes with the birthday girl.
“Happy 4th birthday our precious Rani Rose🌹You are the real queen!” Goldie wrote alongside a photo of the trio. “I’ll take Lady in waiting everyday as long as the prince is always beside me! WE LOVE YOU!”
Who is Kate Hudson’s partner now?
Kate is currently engaged to Danny Fujikawa, a musician, actor, and co-owner of a record company. Kate’s friends Sara and Erin Forster (Who created Nobody Wants This!), are Danny’s stepsisters and introduced the couple 15 years before the pair officially began dating in 2017.
“He makes me feel beautiful every single moment of the day, even when we have fought,” she told People. “I still feel loved. His devotion to the family unit makes me feel safe and confident and secure.”
Although Danny prefers to keep out of the limelight, the couple have made a number of appearances together and in 2024 the pair collaborated on her debut album.
“I always say Danny and I could never break up because the family is just too good,” Kate told Today. “I don’t know how it happened, but it did, and I feel so lucky.”
“What makes her the most courageous… [is that] in the face of fear, she doesn’t back down. That’s for sure,” Danny said of his partner in a chat with Entertainment Tonight. “I’ve seen her do things that I can’t imagine doing myself and I’m very proud of her. And I’m in awe of her for some of the things that she is able to do when she sets her mind to it.”
In 2021 the couple announced their engagement on Instagram, and the following year Kate addressed why they hadn’t tied the knot yet.
“What makes her the most courageous… [is that] in the face of fear, she doesn’t back down. That’s for sure,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I’ve seen her do things that I can’t imagine doing myself and I’m very proud of her. And I’m in awe of her for some of the things that she is able to do when she sets her mind to it.”
What happened with Kate Hudson and her husband?
Kate was previously married to The Black Crowes musician Chris Robinson. The pair married when Kate was 21 and Chris was 34 in 2000, before divorcing in 2007.
“It was a whirlwind, we were engaged in four months, married at nine months, and then three years [later] I wanted to have a baby, and we had Ryder,” she told Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy Podcast.
“There wasn’t an ounce of me that wasn’t [sure], I didn’t question it for a second. We were so connected and Chris taught me so much about love and connection,” she added. “It was just a wonderfully passionate relationship.”
Kate went on to date Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy, and the couple were engaged from 2011 to 2014.
