Kate Hudson posted a nostalgic photo with dad Kurt Russell for Father’s Day 2020. In the photo, she snuggles up next to her bonus dad, Kurt Russell. That scene shared online emphasizes the deep bond and familial relationship between Hudson and Russell. For many, especially for Kate Hudson, he’s played an integral part since her mom, Goldie Hawn, began dating him in 1983. Hudson’s family life is a reflection of the love and creativity that are evident every day in their dynamic blended family.
Born in 1979 to Hawn and her subsequent ex-husband Bill Russell, Hudson grew up in a household where creativity and talent surrounded him. Her mother is a famous actress, so it was easy for her to accept a life of travel. At such a young age, she was already experiencing a global lifestyle. Flaunting art, fashion, and culture, Hudson dazzled audiences, dancing freely through the streets of New York City with Hawn. As evidenced by their deep bond, the pair’s connection has clearly stood the test of time.
A Blended Family Bond
Hudson’s family tree is deepened by Hudson’s close relationships with her step-siblings. She lives with her stepfamily with brothers Oliver Hudson and Wyatt Russell who are her blood brothers. Boston Russell, her paternal half-brother, completes the family. This combination of relationships has really created a special camaraderie, allowing the Peters family to feel truly united in purpose as a family.
When Hudson writes about family, especially her reflections on motherhood, we often see the comfort, support, and love she gets from Russell. In a heartfelt tribute, she described him as “fun, adventurous, passionate, determined, honest, devoted, amazing father and the best head of hair in Los Angeles! Lucky us!” This feeling highlights the deeply personal impact Russell has had on her life.
Memories on the Red Carpet
In addition to her successful campaign, Hudson has financed both her mother & step fathers campaigns. She even showed up at the premiere for Kurt Russell’s movie “Executive Decision” in 1996, proving her loyalty to him beyond doubt. Just that same year, she performed alongside Goldie Hawn in a benefit for The First Wives Club. This single moment captured just how close they all are as a family.
Hudson’s experiences on the red carpet reflect not only her growing career as an actress but the enduring connections she maintains with her family members. These exchanges are quoteworthy, tinged with sentimentality, and encapsulate the deep connection that keeps them rooted to one another.

A Legacy of Love
The legacy of love and support that runs through Kate Hudson’s family is apparent in the way they communicate with each other and the experiences they’ve shared. Having Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell as her formative mentors has had a deep effect on her life. Their faith and guidance has made her the person she is today. This supportive culture helped Hudson thrive as an individual and an artist.
It’s clear Hudson is carefully crafting the next steps of her career in Hollywood. She doesn’t waver on the values her parents and stepfather drilled into her. It is this familial foundation that inspires her work. It reminds her, she says, of the power of relationships.
