\nKate Hudson Marks Kurt Russell’s 74th Birthday with Throwback Family Photos: ‘You Are Truly One of a Kind’\n
Kate Hudson is celebrating another year for her “Pa,” Kurt Russell.\n
On Monday, March 17, the Running Point star shared a post on Instagram in honor of Russell’s 74th birthday, featuring a few family photos from throughout the decades.\n
In the post, Hudson, 45, included snaps of her with her head on Russell’s shoulder in 2008, hanging out together at a basketball game, walking the red carpet at a black-tie event and spending some quality time with the whole family, including her mother Goldie Hawn, 79.\n
“Love this man so much! Happy birthday Pa! You are truly one of a kind,” Hudson captioned the Instagram post, before reposting one of the images on her Instagram Stories, set to James Taylor’s “How Sweet It Is.”\n
Some friends chimed in with their own birthday wishes in Hudson’s comment section, as Jeremy Renner, Chelsea Handler and stylist Sophie Lopez were among those to leave comments. “Happy Birthday,” Renner wrote.\n
\n
Russell and Hawn share four kids: Boston Russell, who Kurt welcomed with ex Season Hubley; Kate and Oliver Hudson from Goldie’s past relationship with Bill Hudson; and their youngest Wyatt Russell. After Bill Hudson and Hawn finalized their divorce in 1982, she started dating Russell in 1983, with Kate having considered him to be her stepdad for over 40 years.\n
For Father’s Day in 2024, Hudson lovingly called Russell “Pa” in an Instagram caption. “I love my Pa so much! What a man, lucky me. Love you Pa. Happy Father\u2019s Day!” she wrote at the time.\n
Kurt’s birthday festivities come after Goldie and Kurt stepped out together at the 2025 Oscars, when Goldie opted for a custom bright yellow Dolce & Gabbana strapless look as Kurt stuck with a classic tuxedo. While the longtime couple has been making headlines for years, Kate confirmed earlier this year that a potential stint on reality television is out of the question for her famous family.\n
\n
“It’ll never happen,” Kate told Entertainment Tonight at the Los Angeles premiere of her new Netflix series.\n
“Listen, my dad, he’s just too cool. He’d rather just be in Colorado just being dad… Snake Plissken doesn’t do reality,” she added, referencing Kurt’s character in the movies Escape from New York and Escape from L.A.\n
In Running Point \u2014 which is loosely based on the life story of L.A. Lakers President Jeanie Buss \u2014 Kate stars alongside Brenda Song, who told PEOPLE in February that she gets “so nervous” around her fellow actress’ parents.\n
\n
\u201cTo this day, I still get so nervous every time I\u2019m around them because they\u2019re such wonderful parents,\u201d Song said. \u201cThey\u2019re at Kate\u2019s shows, and every time I\u2019m around them I like clam up and I\u2019m so scared. Every time.\u201d\n
\u201cOh my God, [I\u2019ve met them] a few times and every single time I still like clam up,\u201d she added. \u201cThey\u2019re so iconic \u2014 literal legends.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
