GOLDIE HAWN & KATE HUDSON
BABY NEWS BRINGS THE DUO CLOSER TOGETHER THAN EVER
With Kate’s new baby on the way, the mother-daughter duo are closer than ever!
Kate Hudson was bursting with joy in a gender-reveal video that she posted online on April 6. As pink confetti exploded from balloons, the mom of sons Ryder, 14, and Bingham, 6, jumped up and down over the news that she and beau Danny Fujikawa, 31, were having a daughter. “My kids, Danny, myself and the entire family are crazy excited! A little girl on the way,” she beamed. Among the precious few who knew she was pregnant before that video was mom Goldie Hawn, 72. “They are super close and tell each other everything,” an insider shares with Closer. “As soon as Kate found out she was pregnant, she texted her mom!”
PARENTAL GUIDANCE
Goldie, who perfectly balanced a personal life with her thriving career, has been a great role model for Kate, 39. “I always remember my mom saying there’s only one thing in life she refused to fail at: raising her children,” Kate says. “A good family is the answer to happiness,” insists Goldie. “I look at our kids and grandkids and there’s nothing in the world that could make me as proud as I am of all of them.” (She and longtime love Kurt Russell, 67, also have two grandsons and a granddaughter thanks to Kate’s brother, Oliver Hudson, 41.)
“She sees her grandchildren all the time,” the insider says. “She gets in the sandbox, blows bubbles and acts silly.” In fact, hearing Kate’s latest news made her go absolutely wild. “Goldie’s an elephant advocate, so she’s already bought the baby a huge pink elephant,” the insider reveals, though the best gift of all is how she’s always there for Kate. “It’s all about laughter, shared secrets, long talks, heart-to-hearts about children,” Goldie says.
