Kate Hudson has shared her parenting philosophy, stating that raising fame-obsessed children would make her feel like a 'failure' as a mother. The 46-year-old actress, known for her roles in films like 'Almost Famous' and the upcoming Netflix series 'Running Point,' spoke to Fox News Digital about her priorities for her three children: Ryder (22), Bingham (14), and Rani (7).
Core Facts
Hudson emphasized that she hopes her children do not equate significance with fame or success. 'If my kids' drive or purpose is for fame and success, then it's something that would feel like a failure of mine,' she said. She believes that valuing fame and success as the primary measures of significance is 'a lie.'
Parenting Philosophy
Hudson stressed the importance of her children feeling 'self-possessed' and understanding their own values. 'The most important thing for me with my kids is that they understand what really drives purpose,' she explained. She added that if her children prioritized fame and success, she would have a 'big sit down' with them to discuss their values.
Fulfillment Beyond Fame
Hudson noted that fame and success do not create a fulfilling life. 'What does is that the work they're doing is bringing them, hopefully, purpose and community purpose,' she said. She reflected on her own upbringing, raised by her mother Goldie Hawn and her partner Kurt Russell, who instilled in her the importance of earning her own way.
Background
Hudson shares Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson, Bingham with ex-partner Matt Bellamy, and Rani with fiancé Danny Fujikawa. She has previously spoken about her privileged upbringing but emphasized that her parents taught her the value of hard work and self-sufficiency.
