Kate Hudson and her three adorable children are a “seriously strong unit”

And it’s clear the actress is a proud and loving mum!

Kate Hudson may be an Oscar-nominated actress but she’s also a proud mother!

The 44-year-old welcomed her first child, Ryder Robinson, back in 2004. She shares Ryder, 20, with her ex-husband Chris Robinson – the lead singer of The Black Crowes.

Then in 2011, Kate gave birth to Bingham Bellamy, 12, who she shares with ex-fiancé Matt Bellamy – the lead singer of Muse.

And last, but certainly not least, Kate welcomed her third child – and only daughter – Rani Hudson Fujikawa in 2018. Kate shares little Rani, 5, with her fiancé, musician Danny Fujikawa.

Kate has always been extremely candid about all of her children having different fathers.

She told the Sunday Times in 2022, “It might not look traditional from the outside, but on the inside I feel like we’re killing it.

“The unit that I’ve created with three children with three different fathers is a seriously strong unit, and it’s ours.”

As Kate said, it’s clear she’s “killing it” and is as close as a mother can be with her kids – perhaps it’s because she grew up in a blended family herself.

Kate and her brother Oliver Hudson were raised by their mother Goldie Hawn and her longtime partner Kurt Russell, and had limited contact with their biological father Bill Hudson.

Kate and Oliver also have four half-siblings: Wyatt Rusell (Goldie and Russell’s son), Emily and Zachary Hudson (Bill and Cindy Williams’s children) and Lalania Hudson (Bill and Caroline Graham’s daughter).

The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star joked about coming from a blended family and then producing one herself during an appearance on Sunday Today with Willie Geist.

“I’ve got multiple dads, [and] I’ve got kids all over the place,” Kate said.

But jokes aside, it’s evident by the multiple Instagram posts Kate shares of Ryder, Bingham and Rani, that she loves her little ones more than anything in the world.
