Between the Russell and Hudson siblings that all play a part in Kate’s illustrious family tree, adding their special ingredients and flavor to this ultra-successful family, Kate is at the forefront. She is the daughter of Bill Hudson and Goldie Hawn.
To go along with her impressive repertoire of movies that have left us entertained more often than not are a couple of awards and nominations that prove Kate Hudson is a talent meant for the big screen.
Kate made her film debut in the 1998 drama Desert Blue. Since then, she’s been on the receiving end of a Golden Globe Award, a Critics Choice Movie Award, and a couple of nominations for an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. Like another well-respected actor in the industry, Matthew McConaughey, Kate was the go-to girl during the romantic comedy frenzy that was all the rage in the early 2000s.
Capitalizing on the movie-going audience’s lust for a fairy-tale kind of love, she appeared in a slew of romantic comedies like Alex & Emma, You, Me and Dupree, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Fool’s Gold, and My Best Friend’s Girl.
The success of those films catapulted her to Hollywood centerstage. But as of 2022, she’s proven acting isn’t the only talent she has a knack for. Flexing her entrepreneurial chops, she co-founded the fitness brand Fabletics, which you probably can’t go more than a few minutes without seeing an ad for on your choice of social media platform. In 2017, the company was valued at $1.5 billion.

Wyatt Russell is the youngest of Kate Hudson’s siblings at 36-years-old!
He is the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. In addition to being the youngest, Wyatt has had the most successful career in the entertainment industry behind his big half-sister, Kate. However, if Wyatt continues the success he’s had over the last couple of years, it won’t be long until he overtakes Kate’s star power in the eyes of the media.
If you didn’t catch him as the star quarterback and quasi-best-friend of Channing Tatum in the hilariously raunchy 2014 film 22 Jump Street, then you might have been introduced to him in the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Wyatt starred as the infamous anti-hero John Walker, who was a contender against Anthony Mackie’s character for Steve Rogers’s shield in the action-packed continuation of the Captain America story.
Other projects Wyatt’s appeared in include Soldier, Cowboys & Aliens, This Is 40, Love and Honor, and Goon: Last of the Enforcers. He’s currently married to actress Meredith Hagner, whom he met on the film set of Folk Hero & Funny Guy in 2015. They share one child, Buddy Russell, born in March 2021.
