Kate Hudson is giving us major mother-daughter goals. The actress shared a heartwarming photo of herself with her 7-year-old daughter, Rani, capturing a tender kiss before heading out for a press event.
"Monochrome mood," Hudson captioned the photo, referencing her latest fashion-forward press tour look, which included a brown leather jacket paired with matching pants. While Rani didn’t sport a matching leather ensemble, her pink floral pajamas complemented her mom’s look in the sweetest way.
It’s not the first time Hudson has shown off life with her youngest. Just last month, the proud mom posted a video of Rani getting her ears pierced. “You're being very cool right now,” Hudson praised her daughter in the clip. “I love how brave you're being.”

Rani, born in October 2018, is Hudson’s only child with her fiancé, musician Danny Fujikawa. The couple began dating in 2017, and Fujikawa proposed in September 2021 after five years together.

Rani has already shown interest in cooking, fashion, beauty, and even home improvement, helping her mom with a backyard project in a December 2022 episode of HGTV’s 'Celebrity IOU.'

A few weeks prior, she shared photos of Rani and her siblings enjoying Halloween at a pumpkin patch, cementing the image of a close-knit, joyful family.

The mother-daughter similarities extend beyond looks. Hudson describes Rani as having her same flair and particular attention to wardrobe choices: “She's so magical. She's definitely her mother's daughter. It takes her forever to get out of the house. She's very particular about her wardrobe and her clothes and her vibe.”

Ryder’s middle name honors Hudson’s longtime partner, Kurt Russell, and he is following in the family footsteps as a musician. In June 2022, he celebrated his high school graduation, and in 2024, he attended the Max Mara Resort show in Venice with his mother.

The couple became engaged but ended their relationship in 2014. Hudson has spoken about co-parenting with care. “One thing that Matt said to me, which I loved, is, 'I just want to make sure that Bing feels like he's gaining something, not losing something.' I think it's even bonded us closer — me, Matt, Elle, and Danny — because we have to trust that we're protecting each other.”

Hudson embraces her blended family with pride. “It might not look traditional from the outside, but on the inside I feel like we're killing it,” she told The Sunday Times in 2022.
“The unit that I've created with three children with three different fathers is a seriously strong unit, and it's ours.” She often jokes about the dynamics of her family. “I've got multiple dads, I've got kids all over the place,” she said in a 2021 appearance on Sunday Today With Willie Geist.
