Kate Hudson and ex Chris Robinson reunited to celebrate son Ryder's college graduation.
In an Instagram story posted on Saturday, May 16, Hudson, 47, smiled as she rested her head on son Ryder's shoulder while standing under Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Ryder, meanwhile, wore a purple graduation gown and black cap as she stood next to Robinson. Hudson added three purple heart icons above Ryder's head in an instant.
Hudson welcomed son Ryder in 2004 with Robinson, whom she married in 2000. They split in 2007. Hudson was later briefly engaged Matt Bellamy, who also welcomed son Bingham in 2011. The actor later moved on with him Danny Fujikawa and the two welcomed daughter Rani in 2018. Three years later, Hudson and Fujikawa got engaged.
Before Ryder's college graduation, Robinson made some unusual comments about their son's ambitions and hinted that he might plan to follow in Hudson's famous acting footsteps instead of stepping into his father's singing shoes. (Robinson is the lead singer of The Black Crowes.)
“He's his own guy, so there's that. I'm proud of him. I think he's going to lean a little more on the leading man in his life and not so much the weird, free, bohemian rock-and-roll of his other family,” Robinson said in an interview. Entertainment Tonight at the Elton John AIDS Foundation's Oscars viewing event in March.
He continued, “He has a lot of life ahead of him.
Two years earlier, Hudson opened up about his relationship with Robinson in an interview The Howard Stern Show.
No goodbyes needed! Kate Hudson has had her fair share of ups and downs over the years – but she's managed to get along with almost all of her seniors. “As much as I can say that I don't recommend it to many, my situation is really surprising,” Hudson said in September. […]
“My relationship with Chris was very good and there was a lot of love there, but I really grew up, and it was a very difficult breakup,” Hudson said in 2024. “That wasn't an easy breakup. I loved him dearly, but it wasn't going to be for the rest of my life.”
“I was like a kid,” Hudson continued. “When my health started to really go downhill and I wanted to go to different places, we just weren't in the same place to continue.”
Hudson went on to describe Robinson as “intelligent” and “really funny” but said she aspires to live as a “traveler and musician,” which can be difficult in a relationship.
Robinson got married Allison Bridges in 2009. The two welcomed daughter Cheyenne Genevieve that same year before splitting in 2018. Two years later, Robinson exchanged vows with Camille Johnson.
