How Kate Hudson’s Famous Brother Helped Her During Her Divorce

Kate Hudson is opening up about a time her brother, Oliver Hudson, stepped in when she needed him most. During the July 21 episode of their podcast ‘Sibling Revelry‘, the siblings answered fan questions about moments when they leaned on each other. Kate didn’t bat an eyelid before naming hers.

“For me, with you and my divorce, with having Ryder and being a working mom, I felt like you really stepped up without me asking,” Kate, 46, shared with her brother. “You just stepped up as Uncle Oli and was really there for us and Ryder.”

Kate and “The Black Crowes” frontman Chris Robinson divorced in 2007 after seven years of marriage. Their son, Ryder, now 21, was just two years old when the couple separated in 2006. Kate reflected on how that transition was made easier thanks to Oliver’s consistent presence.

“In reflection, you were so stable for Ryder and myself,” she told Oliver. “We had so much fun, and we created fun times with the kids.”

She credited her older brother for helping during that “period of time” in her life by doing things without even being asked.

Oliver, 48, chimed in with his thoughts about their dynamic, noting that their support often comes in small, daily gestures rather than major life events. “There’s little things that happen,” he said. “It’s not these big catastrophic events where it’s like, ‘Here, put your head on my shoulder.’ It’s the little things.”

Still, Oliver admitted that asking for help doesn’t always come easy to him, especially during more difficult moments. “It’s interesting because… you’re presenting weakness when you feel like you have to lean on somebody,” he said. “You have to express a certain vulnerability, and you don’t want to at times.”
