Kate Hudson’s relationship with her mother Goldie Hawn’s longtime partner, Kurt Russell, has always been so sweet. Hudson, who is remarkably distant from his biological father, always speaks highly of Russell – whom she considers her own father, for having grown up with him. Now that Hudson has his own children, Russell has taken on another loving role in his life: caring for the grandfather of Hudson’s children. The actress went to Instagram to share a photo of Russell and his daughter Rani Rose on the golf course, and this is absolutely melting our hearts.
“He’s a very good grandpa” Hudson put the caption on his post. The photo shows a bare-chested Rani Rose and Russell concentrated on what appears to be a 3-foot putt. (Did the future LPGA golf professional go down? By the way of that second photo, yes!)
Hudson was raised by Hawn and Russell alongside his brothers Oliver, Wyatt and Boston – which Russell shares with his ex-wife Season Hubley. She always refers to Russell as her “dad,” and on his birthday earlier this week, Hudson talked about the father figure in his life in a long Instagram post (see the sweet birthday tribute here).

“I’m going to gush because I don’t usually talk about this man, but I think that, since he’s 70, I’m going to let that go. Besides, he will never see that 😂 ”Hudson started. “I often wonder how different our life would have been if he had never come on the scene. How different I would be. Let me inform you. “
She added: “He is original. Unique in kind. A powerful, intelligent, talented and loyal family man. He taught me that we can all exist with immense love through our differences. And your dedication to my mother and your struggle for love forever is as admirable as possible. I love this man so much! “
Hudson ended his tribute with “a note to all parents of girls”, saying: “He gave me the gift of confidence, instilling in me the knowledge that I deserved everything I worked for and knew that he would always support me in any challenges may be ahead. When you have a father who gives you permission to have confidence, you live with courage. And this is my instant love letter to my father, who lived 70 years today. ❤️ Happy Birthday, Pa. ”
We love to see Russell embrace his role as a grandfather – and we are delighted to see excerpts from that loving family on Hudson’s IG page.
