You know that feeling when one day you're rocking your little one to sleep, and the next thing you know, you're planning nights out with them? That's exactly how Kate Hudson feels about her son Ryder. Life moves fast, and Kate's ready to embrace every moment of it.
Kate Hudson Opens Up About Her Teenage Son Ryder
Listen, we all know Kate Hudson as the bubbly actress who lights up the screen, but she’s also a mom with a front-row seat to the whirlwind of raising kids. The 39-year-old recently sat down with Rachel Ray for an interview that aired on April 22, and she shared some heartfelt thoughts about her 15-year-old son Ryder. If you're thinking, "Wow, time flies," you're not alone. Kate admitted that Ryder is growing so fast, he’s practically towering over her. "He’s almost 6 feet tall," she said, adding, "I used to dream about this day, like, ‘One day, honey, I’m going to be looking up to you.’ And the other day, he gave me a hug, and I almost burst into tears. It’s crazy, it’s amazing, it’s beautiful."

Mom Life: Kate’s Take on Growing Kids

Co-Parenting Like a Pro
Ryder isn’t Kate’s only kid. She’s got three little ones to juggle, each with their own unique story. Ryder is her eldest, and she shares him with her ex-husband, Chris Robinson, the former frontman of The Black Crowes. Then there’s Bingham, her 7-year-old with ex-fiancé Matt Bellamy, the lead singer of Muse. And let’s not forget her newest addition, Rani Rose, who’s just 6 months old with boyfriend Danny Fujikawa. If you’re wondering how she manages it all, Kate’s got a pretty simple answer: communication. “When you get divorced, you’re still in a relationship. It’s just a different kind of relationship,” she explained during an episode of “Divorce Sucks! with Laura Wasser.”

But it’s not all sunshine and roses. Kate admits there are ups and downs in co-parenting, just like any relationship. “You’re going to have good days, you’re going to have bad days, you’re going to have good weeks, bad weeks,” she said. The secret sauce? Communication. Kate also shared a piece of wisdom her mom, Goldie Hawn, passed down: never speak badly about your ex in front of your kids. “Kids are not only incredibly intelligent, but eventually they can make their mind up themselves,” she said. “They will see with their own eyes whatever needs to be seen and they need to come to that on their own terms. It’s not our place to tell them how to feel about the other parents. I think that’s so important.”
