Recently, there has been a lot of attention on the family dynamics of actress Kate Hudson and her extended family. This is mainly due to the comments made by her brother Oliver, who mentioned experiencing “trauma” as a result of their mother Goldie Hawn’s “lifestyle.” However, Oliver has since clarified that there was no actual trauma, and Hudson has encouraged him to ignore any negative comments or criticism.
The 45-year-old actress is now sharing her own thoughts and speaking up, but this time it’s about another family member.
During an interview to promote her upcoming debut album set to release next month, Hudson found herself compelled to talk about her father, Bill Hudson, a musician with whom she has had a strained relationship for the majority of her life.
During an interview with “CBS News Sunday Morning,” she praised the Hudson Brothers for their incredible musical talent and skill as songwriters. She also mentioned that her father is a highly accomplished songwriter.
Bill and his two brothers, Brett and Mark, established the group in the late 1960s, gaining popularity in the 1970s, but eventually disbanding in the 1980s. Bill tied the knot with Hawn during their peak fame, but their marriage ended in divorce after just four years in 1976. Throughout their brief union, they welcomed two children.
Hudson confessed that she and Bill don’t really have a relationship anymore when asked to provide more details about their current connection.
“It’s getting warmer,” she mentioned. “There are signs of warming happening. But whatever will be, will be, you know? I don’t have any expectations regarding my father,” she expressed.
“I simply want him to experience genuine happiness.”
In February 2023, Hudson opened up about the difficulties in her relationship, shedding light on how it had influenced her choice to pursue a career in music.
In a recent interview on the “Table for Two” podcast with Bruce Bozzi, Hudson reflected on her journey with music. She shared that although she initially felt a strong connection to music early on in her career and even considered pursuing it, her experience filming “Almost Famous” changed her perspective. Hudson explained that as she navigated her own personal issues with her father, she began to distance herself from music, feeling a reluctance to embrace that part of herself because it was tied to her dad.
She admitted that if she were to release her work and it didn’t resonate with people, it would have a profound impact on her. The thought of failing to create that special connection she had with him was something she couldn’t bear. She simply wasn’t prepared to face such devastation.
As we grow older, our perspective on life shifts. We start to realize the value of the things we have, like my Hudson car. I was fortunate to have been raised by my amazing father, Russell, who has had a tremendous impact on my life. Of course, I also love my biological father, and over time, I’ve been able to mend that relationship. Ultimately, what truly matters to me is putting family above everything else.
