Kate Hudson Details “Wonderfully Passionate” Marriage to Ex Chris Robinson
View Date:2024-12-23 12:49:17
If anyone thought Kate Hudson was a fool for getting married at 21, remember: even fools have their gold.
After all, in looking back on her seven-year marriage to Chris Robinson, which ended in 2007, there is very little the Fool's Gold star would change.
"I didn't question it for a second," she told Call Her Daddy's Alex Cooper of getting married during the podcast's May 22 episode. "We were so connected. And Chris taught me so much about love, connection. It was just a wonderfully passionate relationship."
"And by the way, not a mistake," Kate—who shares 20-year-old son Ryder with The Black Crowes musician—noted. "I look back at my entire life at this point, and I actually feel like I might have gotten it right."
And since her split with Chris, Kate—who also is mom to son Bingham, 12, with ex Matt Bellamy and daughter Rani, 5, with fiancé Danny Fujikawa—looks back at each moment in her past as a little bit of heaven, especially as her career soared to new heights.
"So when I met Chris, it's like when my career is taking off," she reflected, "it was also a time that could have been a whirlwind and instead I was in this very grounding, loving relationship."
And despite her past relationships coming to an end, the 45-year-old doesn't think of love as something borrowed.
"At the end of the day, I believe you love someone—if you loved them once, you really love them in some way forever," she explained. "Even if you can't stand them, if you really loved them, if it was pure, you'll love them through anything. Maybe not romantically, but that will always, always be there."
Perhaps that is why Kate seems to still have such good relationships with her exes, often mentioning them in interviews or even posing for pictures with their current partners (as she did with Matt's wife Elle Evans in June).
As she told Allure in 2015, following her split with the Muse musician, "Relationships ending are painful, and you can choose to carry that or you can choose to reframe it. If Matt and I had a great relationship, we would still be together, but we chose to move on because we had different visions of how we wanted to live our lives. That doesn't mean, though, that we can't rebuild something that would be the best thing for the kids."
And that foundational belief allowed Kate to maintain a relationship with Matt over the years. As she shared during a Feb. 2023 episode the iHeartMedia podcast Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi, "I love him so much. I'm exactly where we were supposed to be. I think he feels the same way about me."
She continued, "However I was raised, whatever environment, whatever dysfunction...it's created a very harmonious family life for me. It's totally unconventional. It doesn't make any sense. It goes against every religious grain in the book and yet, I'm happy and my kids are happy and it feels liberated. I don't feel the failure."
And the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star isn't the only Hollywood celebrity to stay friendly with their equally famous exes. For more, keep reading.
No, they are never, ever, ever getting back together. But at this point—between the birthday parties, the friendly embraces and even freaking acting out a sexual fantasy in a star-studded virtual reading of Fast Times at Ridgemont High—it feels like the former Hollywood golden couple is just taunting us.
You know you're cool when you can pop into your ex's talk show and give him a hard time. Such was the case when Silverman turned up on Kimmel's stage to chat about her new show, I Love You, America and his "cute," "bright," "funny" wife Molly Kimmel. "It's not fair!" she cracked. "She gets, like, new woke Jimmy. I had Man Show Jimmy."
TBH, we might still be mourning this relationship harder than either of its participants. Because when Faris—now engaged to cinematographer Michael Barrett—heard that Pratt was set to wed Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019, she offered to officiate. She even sent over a gift after the newlyweds welcomed daughter Lyla in August 2020. Thrilled for son Jack to become a big brother, a source told E! News, Faris "is very supportive."
It would have been super easy for the exes' relationship to become a flop. But more than four years after a messy split, the HGTV stars are still killing it at two projects: parenting kids Taylor and Brayden and turning run-down properties into someone else's dream home.
Literally "best friends" as the rocker put it in a 2013 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the parents to actress Zoe Kravitz still consider themselves kin. "We're one big happy family," Kravitz said of his ex, now wed to Jason Momoa. "It's beautiful, and it just shows you what can be done."
Since their 2015 breakup, the parents to Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel have hit the conscious uncoupling trifecta: Joint vacations, shared holidays and public displays of admiration with Affleck dubbing his ex "an amazing mother" during a 2016 interview with E! News.
Nina and Ian may have called it quits in 2013 after three years of dating, but they've remained close friends since then. In 2014, the Vampire Diaries star started dating Nikki Reed and tied the knot later that year. Naturally, Dobrev befriended the Twilight actress.
The two called it quits in July 2016 after five years together. The singer said on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show the following October that she's "very close" to Kinney, adding, "He's been my lover and a friend for so long," she said. "We love each other. That's it."
The Office's on-and-off pairing remained so tantalizingly close after the series wrapped in 2013 that even Kaling gets why people are still shipping them. "If I was on the outside looking at it, I would think the same thing," she told GoodHousekeeping.com in 2019 of naming him godparent to her eldest. "But the truth is that B.J. is so much more like family now than a platonic friend. He's the godfather to my daughter, he comes over like once a week. Sometimes he'll come over just to hang out with her."
The exes had no trouble coparenting their son, Bronx, after finalizing their divorce back in 2011. The Fall Out Boy star has even said his former wife is "an awesome mom."
So she's over those "7 Things" then? The JoBro musician has said he's "really friendly" with his ex. "We've got a good relationship."
The Dexter stars first met on set in 2006 before things got romantic in 2008. And although they divorced in 2011, Carpenter assured there was "nothing but love and respect" between the exes a few years later.
Long the gold standard of copacetic exes, the parents to daughters Rumer, Tallulah and Scout remain so tight that the decision to ride out coronavirus stay-at-home orders together in Idaho was a no-brainer. Quarantine dance party anyone?
Some four years after their 2014 divorce, Lopez was still giving her former spouse, dad to her twins Max and Emme, props. "While I was married to Marc, he really helped me with my confidence and he saw where I suffered," she said on a 2018 episode of Sunday Today. "He was like, 'You're a great singer. Don't ever let anybody tell you you're not a great singer.' And I respected him so much 'cause I consider him one of the best singers of all time."
Even if it hasn't been his day, his week, his month or even his year, the actress will be there for her former husband and Scream costar. "I mean, as divorces go, I would say it's one of the better ones. For sure," she shared on Running Wild With Bear Grylls eight years after their 2010 split. Raising daughter Coco, she continued, "We're good co-parents together."
Their real life romance may have fizzled in 2007. However, that doesn't mean the two couldn't heat up the screen in the 2011 movie Bad Teacher.
Sure, the initial few months of their 2013 split were rough going, but the actors have now reached the group vacation stage of their divorce. "I really like her husband and I think he's a great guy," the Twilight alum told LaPalme Magazine of a 2017 trip to Cancun that included Garth, Dave Abrams, Facinelli's now-fiancée Lily Anne Harrison and their three daughters Luca, Lola and Fiona. As for his relationship with Garth, he continued, "People come into your life for a reason and relationships can change," he told LaPalme. "Just because we aren't living together doesn't mean you can't love each other."
Despite a surprise separation in September 2012, the couple decided to put on a united front for their children. "As you know, Will and I are very, very good friends," she explained during a 2014 interview with Howard Stern. "We are doing a really good job. I don't think a 10-year marriage constitutes a failure. I think relationships are really tough."
