Kate Hudson's love life has been a pretty wild rollercoaster ride.
While the actress has had a lot of famous relationships, she's only been married once.
After opening up about her marriage to musician Chris Robinson, the actress revealed that
it was incredibly 'volatile.'
However, that’s not the reason their marriage came to an end and unfortunately, this wasn't
her only relationship that took a very dark turn.
Hudson and Robinson's relationship started fast.
They met at a party in New York City at the beginning of 2000.
Just days later, they were living together.
Kate was only 21 years old at the time, while Chris was in his mid-thirties.
While the age gap was significant, it wasn't something that phased the actress at all.
"When I met Chris, everything just seemed to become very clear," Kate admitted.
Their first week together was a whirlwind of romance, and Chris even went to buy Kate
a diamond ring.
He claimed that it wasn't an engagement ring but just a small token to show his commitment
to her.
But, that gesture of commitment soon turned to a walk down the aisle when they married
later that year, only seven months after they first met.
Their relationship was moving at lightning speed, but it seemed like Kate couldn't have
been happier.
Just a few weeks later, the actress won a Golden Globe for her role in Almost Famous.
During her acceptance speech, she was beaming with excitement when she thanked Chris in
her acceptance speech.
"My husband, Chris Robinson.
You inspire me every day," she said.
At the time, her career was taking off, and Kate's popularity was skyrocketing.
However, the actress decided to take a break from work in order to focus on spending time
with her new husband.
In fact, the suggestion to take a break actually came from her very famous mother, Goldie Hawn.
Her mother wanted Kate to enjoy the first year of marriage, and it seemed like it was
a good idea.
They barely knew each other at the time, so spending more time together to get to know
each other more, makes sense.
Kate explained in an interview that divorce was not an option for them.
They were going to do whatever it took to make their marriage work.
"For us, we will never think of not being with each other.
I'm done.
I am happy.
I can't wait to grow old.
I can't wait to retire."
The actress also shared that "being a wife to my hubby.
Taking care of him" was her favorite thing to do in her free time.
In another interview with People the same year, she talked more about loving being a
wife.
She'd learned a lot about herself, including that she loved being able to provide for her
husband.
It would always be something that she cherished, even when she was working.
"I love being able to be a wife, make dinners and invite friends over and be able to make
it all nice for him.
It's a nice thing for a man to feel that, and for me to feel that I can give that."
On the other hand, Robinson rarely spoke about his relationship with Hudson.
And things weren't always sunshine and daisies for the couple either.
Hudson admitted the beginning of their relationship was filled with intense fights followed by
quickly forgetting about the issues.
"In the beginning, we were so volatile.
We were so in love and passionate, and then we would just hate each other and throw stuff
around, and then we would travel to Paris for a week."
However, things seemed to have changed after the couple welcomed their son, Ryder, in 2004.
The actress shared that their bundle of joy made them feel like they were now sharing
something "so gigantic now," and it was the best they've ever felt being together.
Their baby made them feel like they were whole, like they were a perfect little family.
A close source to the couple also shared that the new parents' relationship was made even
stronger by welcoming their son.
"They are very happy.
They are not going anywhere.
When you are true friends with your mate, your relationship will withstand everything.
Sadly, their babymoon was short-lived.
Just two years after the birth of their son, the couple separated.
A year after that, they officially divorced in 2007.
In an exclusive interview, Kate explained that the love she had for her husband had
changed.
While she still had no question about him being in her life, she shared, "I believe
our love changed its form, it shifted…
I think we were meant to have a child, and we have this amazing little boy together,
and therefore we'll be together our entire lives."
She added that no matter who she ends up with, Chris will always be in her life because he's
the father of her son.
The couple started the usual "irreconcilable differences" when they announced their divorce.
However, it seems like their split might have been a result of one of Kate's co-stars.
Just before she and Chris separated, the actress was starring in her upcoming film, "You, Me
and Dupree," and it was rumored that she was getting a little too close to comfort with
Owen Wilson.
While everyone always knew that Kate and Owen dated back in the early 2000s, it wasn't until
a recent interview in 2022 that she actually admitted to it.
The pair met on the set of the 2006 comedy You, Me and Dupree while Hudson was still
married to Chris.
A month after the film opened, Hudson and Robinson separated, and Robinson filed for
divorce just four months later.
Then the bombshell hit the tabloids; Kate and Wilson were confirmed to be dating that
fall.
Given the timeline and her onscreen chemistry with Wilson, it was long-rumored that there
was a little overlap between the relationships.
However, Kate denied the allegations by simply saying, "That's not what happened."
Kate and Owen were as low-key as it gets.
Though they were two of Hollywood's most in-demand stars at the time, they kept their romance
as off-the-radar as possible.
But their relationship was pretty rocky from the start, and perhaps it was because Wilson
wasn't ready to settle down.
Just half a year into dating, the couple called it quits, and Owen didn't take it well at
all.
It was alleged that Kate was the one that called it quits because she questioned Wilson's
commitment to their relationship.
The breakup came at a terrible time for Wilson, and in combination with the struggles with
his mental health and his long-time battle with substance abuse, losing Kate felt all
too painful.
The actor felt like he had no one to turn to, and after Kate was spotted kissing Dax
Shepherd, he attempted to take his own life.
It was an act that could only be perceived as a cry for help, and it left his friends
and family completely shaken.
Owen was found by one of his brothers at his home, completely dazed and confused from taking
too many pills.
He was admitted to a Medical Center in LA and was immediately put on medication.
A close source revealed how hard it had been on his family, especially since Wilson was
such a wonderful person.
Even his neighbor shared that they had all been shocked by the attempt because Owen is
"a great and smart guy and never caused trouble for anyone."
They all only hoped that he would be able to get through this tough time and get better.
When asked to comment about the incident, Kate said, "Owen is such a lovely person,
and I love him dearly.
And I wish him beautiful things — health and everything that he desires in life."
On the other hand, she refused to make any comments regarding his troubles, saying that
it was something that should be left alone and not discussed in private.
Despite the attempt to take his own life, Wilson was soon back in a relationship with
Hudson.
She was often photographed wearing a huge diamond ring, which only ignited rumors that
Owen had engaged and they were planning to wed the following year.
Unfortunately, their reunion was short-lived, and they split once again in May of 2008.
A close source revealed, "It was a pretty bad breakup.
Owen said it was a tough one.
He definitely doesn't want to dwell on it.
He wants to put it behind him."
Thankfully, the former couple has no bad blood between them.
In 2012 it was reported that Hudson and Wilson had bonded over their children at the Vanity
Fair Oscar party, giddily sharing photos of their kids.
In the meantime, Kate seems to have found her true, drama-free, happy ending with her
fiance, Danny Fujikawa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQH7TNIeGjI - 0.05).
They began dating at the end of 2016.
However, they had already been good friends for 15 years.
In fact, she met Danny while she was still pregnant with her first son.
If you ask us, there's almost no better love story than falling in love with your best
friend!
It was seemingly unexpected for Kate.
Danny had invited her to go for a hike, and she thought they were just going as friends.
Little did she know, it actually turned out to be the first date.
But Danny made sure to take things slow.
"No moves were made on this first date.
In fact, it took months for him to make a first move!
And as a kiss on this bridge would have been nice, the kiss a year later was so much sweeter."
The actress gushed.
The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Rani Rose, in 2018.
Nearly three years later, Hudson announced their engagement via Instagram.
We couldn't be happier for Kate, and it seems she couldn't be happier either.
She finally got her fairytale ending after quite a bumpy road to finding love.
