Kate Hudson's 6 Siblings: All About Her Brothers and Sisters

Kate Hudson comes from a large, blended family.

The Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery actress and her brother Oliver Hudson were born to actors Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson in 1979 and 1976, respectively. After Goldie split with Bill, she began dating Kurt Russell, who was already a father to a son, Boston Russell, with his ex-wife, Season Hubley. Together, Goldie and Kurt welcomed one son, Wyatt Russell, in 1986.

Bill had three more children after his split from Goldie. He welcomed a son, Zachary, and a daughter, Emily, with his ex-wife, Cindy Williams, and a daughter, Lalania, with girlfriend Caroline Graham. However, Kate said she didn’t have much of a relationship with her siblings on her dad’s side growing up.

“I had this moment last year where I was like, ‘I don’t know why I don’t talk to my other siblings,’ ” Kate said on an episode of her and Oliver’s Sibling Revelry podcast in January 2024. “I don’t care what the history is with our parents … I have two sisters that I don’t speak to for no other reason than our family is separated.”

From their careers following in their parents’ footsteps to their own children, here’s everything to know about Kate Hudson’s six siblings.

They have a blended family

Kate’s older brother, Oliver, is the eldest of her siblings, born to Goldie and Bill on Sept. 7, 1976. Kate joined the family three years later on April 19, 1979. Just a year later, Goldie and Bill split, finalizing their divorce in 1982.

In 1983, Goldie began dating Kurt, who welcomed his son, Boston, three years earlier in 1980. Though Goldie and Kurt never married, they have been together since, welcoming their only child together, Wyatt, on July 10, 1986.

After his split from Goldie, Bill married his now ex-wife Cindy Williams in 1982, and the pair welcomed two children together: Emily, born the same year, and Zachary, who was born in 1986.

Bill and Cindy divorced in 2000, and the former The Hudson Brothers singer fathered one more child, Lalania, with his girlfriend Caroline Graham in 2006.

Kate, Oliver and Wyatt inherited their parents’ acting genes

Like their parents, Kate, Oliver and Wyatt have all had successful careers as actors. Oliver has starred in several widely recognized TV shows including Rules of Engagement, Nashville, Dawson’s Creek, The Cleaning Lady and more recently, And Just Like That. 

Similarly, Kate became a movie magnet in the early aughts. She got her breakout role as Penny Lane in the 2000 film Almost Famous, which earned her a Golden Globe for best supporting actress. She’s also known for starring in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Fool's Gold, Bride Wars and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

Wyatt has dabbled in both TV and film. His comedic performances in 22 Jump Street and Table 19 put him on the map; but it was Disney’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier that propelled him to TV fame. He most recently collaborated with his dad on Apple TV+’s sci-fi series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

Though Boston lives a private life out of the limelight, he makes the occasional red carpet appearance to support his famous parents and siblings. Bill's three children, however, have mainly eschewed the spotlight, opting to live out of the public eye.

Kate and Oliver have a podcast together

In 2019, the brother-sister duo launched their own podcast, aptly titled Sibling Revelry. Alongside a behind-the-scenes video montage of season one’s esteemed guests, Kate penned on Instagram that her “big hope” is to “inspire people to understand their differences with their siblings and family and always move towards more closeness and connection because that’s what we need more in this world.”

Oliver noted in his announcement that the podcast has been equally rewarding for their own relationship. “I knew we’d have fun and laugh and give each other s--- but I didnt realize how important this would be for OUR relationship,” he wrote on Instagram. “Being able to talk about the past and how we grew up and what we meant to each other has given me a deeper understanding of US, as siblings, as best friends, as parents. Every time we sit down and get into it I learn something new!”

Wyatt played a younger version of his father’s character in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

Wyatt’s acting chops were put to the ultimate test as he starred opposite his father in an AppleTV+ series that expandedthe Godzilla universe. In Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, two siblings follow “in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch,” per the series synopsis. Kurt and Wyatt portrayed the same character across different timelines.

"We were being given this opportunity to play the same person, as opposed to the father and son, so we started hammering away at it and saying, 'Let's make this good!' " Kurt told Entertainment Tonight in November 2023 during a sit-down interview with Wyatt.

Wyatt added that it was more interesting to explore their dynamic playing the same person, rather than a father-son duo.

"[Playing] father and son is like low-hanging fruit," he told the outlet. "And we've never been people, genetically, who have gone for low-hanging fruit. It's just never been interesting [for me], it's never been interesting in his career."

Kate, Oliver and Wyatt have a combined total of eight kids

Kate, Oliver and Wyatt are all busy raising families of their own. Oliver and his wife, Erinn Barlett, whom he married in 2006, share sons Wilder Brooks and Bodhi Hawn and daughter Rio Laura.

Kate also has two sons and a daughter. She and her ex-husband, Chris Robinson, welcomed their son Ryder Robinson in 2004. He became a big brother in 2011 with the addition of Bingham Hawn Bellamy, whom Kate shares with ex-fiancé Matt Bellamy. In 2018, Kate gave birth to a daughter, Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa, whose father is Danny Fujikawa. Kate and Danny have been engaged since 2021.

Following their Western-themed wedding in 2019, Wyatt and actress Meredith Hagner welcomed their son, Buddy Prine Russell, in 2021. The couple expanded their family with the birth of their second child, Boone Joseph, in February 2024.

In her 2023 Variety cover story, Goldie shared the wisdom she wants to pass on to her eight grandchildren. "You've got to work for a living, stay compassionate and stay realistic," she said. "And I'm passing that on because that was what my father taught me: Stay in reality. Don't get taken away with everything."

"The rest of it is up to them," Goldie continued. "Being there for them and knowing that they're going to have to work stuff out themselves, as hard as it is."

Kate has reconnected with Bill’s children

The Bride Wars actress may not have grown up close to Emily, Zachary or Lalania — who have all lived their lives out of the public eye — but she is reconnecting with them now, she revealed on Sibling Revelry.

"My sister and I and my brother have all just started communicating again," she said. "And honestly, I got on the phone with my sister and we just started bawling our eyes out. It was so great."

"[My sister] even said it. We start now. We start now,” she said of their reconciliation.
