Kate Hudson and son Ryder ‘leaned on' brother Oliver Hudson during Chris Robinson divorce
The 46-year-old actress - who has Ryder, 21, with her ex-husband - split from Chris in 2007 following seven years of marriage, and Kate has now revealed Oliver, 48, offered his support to the pair amid her divorce 'without [her] even having to ask'.
Speaking on their Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson podcast, the Almost Famous star said she felt like she could 'often' rely on her brother, and that 'the biggest time was in divorce'.
She explained: 'For me, with you in my divorce with having Ryder and being a working mom, I felt like you really stepped up without me asking.
'It's just that you just stepped up as Uncle Ollie and was really there for us and Ryder. I think that period of time, you really stepped up for me without me even having to ask for it.
'In reflection, you were so stable for Ryder and myself.'
Kate - who also has Bingham 'Bing' Hawn, 14, with her ex-fiance Matt Bellamy and Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa, six, with her now-fiance Danny Fujikawa - added that she and Oliver had 'created fun times with the kids'.
For the Rules of Engagement actor, Oliver noted there are 'micro leanings' that constantly occur between himself and his sister.
He said: 'There's little things that happen. It's not these big catastrophic events where it's like, 'Here, put your head on my shoulder.' It's the little things.'
Kate has been engaged to musician Danny, 39, since 2021, though the Running Point actress recently admitted she may never marry him as she likes to have her 'freedom'.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, she said: 'I think it's been two or three [years]. My fantasy is to get engaged and to stay engaged.
'I just don't have the same kind of like, 'Oh my God, I'm going to get married … and I can't wait for the party!' It's the opposite.
'I'm like, 'OK, I have to plan it, and then it's going to cost so much money,' and it's just a lot.
'I like the idea of being engaged forever. You have the ring, the promise, the ultimate commitment. The contractual thing is tough for me. I like my freedom … I like the concept of freedom.'

Prince William, Kate Middleton moving to new family home for ‘fresh start' after scary cancer battle
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 43, are relocating to a new family home with their three kids, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. 'The Wales family will move house later this year,' a spokesperson at Kensington Palace confirmed to Page Six on Aug. 16. The royal couple moved to their current Adelaide Cottage home in Berkshire in 2022 to be close to their children's Lambrook School, The NY Post reports. Now, they are reportedly relocating nearby to a $21 million eight-bedroom property called Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park. 'Windsor has become their home,' a royal insider told the Sun. 'However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times.' 'Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind,' the source added. Unlike Adelaide Cottage, William and Kate are said to see the move to Forest Lodge as a 'long-term' move into their 'forever home.'

The royal pair is also reportedly using their own money to pay the full cost to renovate their new dream house, and insiders claimed that they will also not have any live-in staff. William and Kate were living at Adelaide Cottage, which is not far from Windsor Castle, when the princess was diagnosed with cancer last year. 'In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful,' Kate announced in March 2024. 'However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,' she added at the time. Prince William with his family pups. Source: Instagram. After several months of gruelling chemotherapy, the Princess of Wales revealed that she was finished receiving cancer treatment in September. 'The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,' Kate said Sept. 9. 'Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.' 'The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,' she added.

But despite finishing treatment last year and announcing that she was in remission this past January, Kate is still struggling with her post-treatment recovery. 'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,' she said in July. 'You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,' William's wife added last month.

Reese Witherspoon cried 'working 14 to 17 hour' days as as single mom
Reese Witherspoon was "deliriously tired" and "cried" when she was "working 14 to 17 hour" days as as single mom . The Legally Blonde star has opened up about raising her two children - Ava, 25, and Deacon, 21 - following her split from their father Ryan Phillippe in 2006 while trying to maintain her career in Hollywood and she has confessed it left her feeling totally wiped out. In a post on Instagram, Reese, 49, shared a series of pictures of her with her children when they were younger and admitted it was "really hard sometimes". She wrote,: "Someone asked me what raising three kids and building a career in Hollywood looked like ... "It looked like spending a lot of time in trailers together ... It looked like always being on the road together ... It looked like my kids constantly giving me career advice! ... It looked really hard sometimes ... " She added: "I'd cry working 14 to 17 hours, sometimes all night long and still woke up early for carpool. I was deliriously tired. "It looked like trying to say something positive about work when I got home at night. So my kids would know that my work was meaningful to me and could be fun!' Reese ended her post by declaring the tough times were all worth it, writing: "In conclusion, even though it was challenging at times, having kids gave me perspective about what was important in life. "Nothing was better than getting to come home and hug them and hear about their day! Grateful to stand alongside other moms in this beautiful, messy journey ... Tag the working mom who needs this." Reese was in her early 20s when she first became a mom and she previously admitted she was "terrified" about becoming a mother at such a young age. During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Reese explained: "To be completely candid, I was terrified ... "I got pregnant when I was 22 years old, and I didn't know how to balance work and motherhood, you just do it. "I didn't know if I was going to have steady work, too. I made movies but I hadn't established myself as someone who could demand that it shoot close to my kids' school ... "I was just like every other mom and dad trying to figure it out. There's a lot of compromise. Every bit of that sacrifice is truly worth it. You feel like that's what makes me wake up on a Sunday, it's not movies or my job, it's my kids."

'A proper f****** rock band': Chrissie Hynde had the best time seeing Oasis live with pal Johnny Marr
Chrissie Hynde says the Oasis Live '25 Tour is "exactly what the world needs right now". The Pretenders frontwoman attended one of the Britpop legends' Wembley Stadium gigs with old bandmate Johnny Marr, and also bumped into supermodel Kate Moss - who, she says, "missed her calling" as a singer. Updating fans on Instagram , she penned: 'James and I went with @johnnymarrgram to see @oasis the other week. They were great as one would expect.' Praising support act Richard Ashcroft, she said: 'Saw a bunch of old pals in the audience and was dancing with Kate Moss to support act, the excellent voiced @richardashcroftofficial." She continued: 'I always remind Kate that she missed her calling, and could've been a singer. She reminded me that, 'For me, it was either Woolworths or modelling.' Because Kate rarely does interviews (unlike every other celebrity on the planet) people don't know what a riot she is. Well, she is, and now you know…' Moving on to the main event, the 73-year-old rocker hailed the Supersonic hitmakers - who are playing their first concerts in 16 years, after brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher put their long-standing feud behind them - "a proper f****** rock band". She said: 'Oasis were in great form. 'There is still nothing better than a rock band doing their thing with a minimal light show and no extra people cluttering the stage. In other words, a proper f****** rock band! Exactly what the world needs now.'
