Kate Hudson is a woman who embraces her flirtatious nature wholeheartedly, and her fiancé, Danny Fujikawa, is completely okay with it. In a recent interview with Bustle, the 45-year-old actress openly admitted, “I’m the biggest flirt on the planet. So I think anybody who’s ever been with me is very aware that I flirt with everybody—girls, boys.” Her carefree attitude toward flirting is something she’s unapologetic about, and she’s grateful to have found a partner like Danny who understands and supports her spirited personality. “Thank God Danny is my partner,” she said. “He can handle this. I met the right guy.” Hudson’s confidence and self-awareness shine through as she navigates her relationships and personal growth with grace and humor.
Hudson’s journey of self-discovery and understanding her flirtatious nature began many years ago, long before she met Fujikawa. She reflected on how her role as Penny Lane in the 2000 film Almost Famous heightened her fascination with men and her natural inclination toward playful flirting. However, this same energy led her to take a year-long hiatus from flirting in her 30s, a decision she credits with helping her grow as a person. Speaking on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast in May 2022, Hudson shared, “I was like, ‘What?’ I couldn’t flirt—none of it. But it was great.” Her therapist had encouraged her to take a break from her usual ways, and while it felt strange at first, Hudson found the experience strangely empowering. She even joked about how she’d respond when someone asked for her number during that time: “You know, no, I’m not there right now.”
This period of self-reflection also helped Hudson break free from her longtime attraction to “bad boys,” a pattern she recognized in her past relationships. “If I didn’t do that, I would never have ended up with Danny, because Danny, he’s just such a good man, and I’m not so sure I was attracted to the good man,” she admitted. Her relationship with Fujikawa, which began in 2016, marked a turning point for Hudson. The couple welcomed their daughter, Rani, in 2018, and Fujikawa proposed to Hudson in September 2021 after five years together. Despite their engagement, Hudson has made it clear that she’s in no rush to tie the knot. “I love that man… but the last thing we’re doing right now during the holidays is planning anything but the holidays,” she said in November 2022. “Yeah, we’re in no hurry.”
Hudson’s romantic history is a testament to her journey of love, growth, and learning. Before meeting Fujikawa, she was married to Chris Robinson, the frontman of The Black Crowes, from 2000 to 2007. The couple shares a 21-year-old son, Ryder, who is now all grown up. After her divorce, Hudson went on to date Matt Bellamy, the lead singer of Muse, with whom she had her second child, 13-year-old son Bingham. The two were engaged for three years before breaking up in December 2014. Through these experiences, Hudson has always prioritized her children and her personal well-being, and she seems to have found a sense of balance and contentment with Fujikawa.
Throughout her career, Hudson has been known for her charm, wit, and relatability, both on-screen and off. Whether she’s starring in films like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or opening up about her personal life in interviews, Hudson has a way of connecting with people that feels genuine and down-to-earth. Her willingness to speak candidly about her relationships, her quirks, and her growth as a woman makes her all the more endearing to her fans. As she looks ahead, Hudson appears to be in a place of peace and happiness, surrounded by her loved ones and embracing life’s imperfections with a sense of humor and grace.
In many ways, Hudson’s story is one of self-discovery and love—love for herself, her partner, and her children. Her journey highlights the importance of understanding oneself, embracing flaws, and finding the right person to share life’s adventures with. As she continues to navigate her relationship with Fujikawa, raise her three children, and pursue her career, there’s no doubt that Kate Hudson will remain a vibrant and inspiring figure, both in Hollywood and beyond.
