The only thing cuter thanKurt RussellandGoldie Hawn’slove for one anotheris their children’s love and admiration for their parents. Whether it’s supporting each other’s business endeavors, public appearances or posting sweet online tributes, the Russell-Hawn clan never fails to show up and show out for one another.

Kurt and Goldie have four children: Boston Russell, whom Kurt welcomed with ex-wife Season Hubley;Oliver HudsonandKate Hudsonfrom Goldie’s previous relationship with Bill Hudson; and Wyatt Russell, the couple’s youngest, whom they welcomed together.

Kate, for her part, doesn’t believe Kurt and her mom could complement each other any more than they do now. “Mom is kinetic and she is a butterfly, and Pa likes his family and his home.But when they’re together, it’s so powerful,” she told PEOPLE.

InPEOPLE’s 2020 Beautiful Issue, theAlmost Famousstar opened up about modeling her mom’s parenting style, especially regarding raising her daughter. “Mom was so available to being my greatest cheerleader,” Kate told PEOPLE. “It just made me think about Rani — I just hope I give her that kind of confidence.”

“As a parent, you basically raise your children to raise their children appropriately as well. So that’s thatdomino effect,” Goldie told PEOPLE in March 2022. “And as parents, we have a tremendous responsibility.”

On Mother’s Day in May 2023, Kate gave Goldie a sweet shout-out on Instagram.

TheBride Warsstar continued: “The ones she does are always a little silly, a little blurry, half smiles, half cries, chocolate faces and unbrushed hair.She gave us freedom, let us be wild, loved us endlessly and we got the pictures to prove it. I love you Mama.”

Per Kate, Oliver is quite the jokester, too. “He really isfunnier than me,” she told PEOPLE in 2021. That same year, Oliver was featured inPEOPLE’s 2021 Sexiest Man Alive issue.

Olivermarried his wife, Erinn Barlett, in 2006, though, he recalls Goldie’s motherly push to get him down on one knee. “To be honest, it was not easy. I didn’t want to get married. I thought that the perfect relationship was Kurt and Mom,” Oliver said onE!‘sDaily Popin 2022. “I mean, I was a child of divorce, that didn’t work, and then I saw this working.”

Referring to his proposal as “a major surprise,” Oliver remembered Erinn telling her parents that a wedding was more than likely not in the cards. After a heartfelt conversation with his mom, Oliver knew it was the right choice: “She says, ‘It’s [the ring] a token. You don’t have to get married right away.’ And so I gave [Erinn] the ring and it was very scary and we were engaged for two and a half years.”

Goldie and Bill’s daughter Kate was born on April 19, 1979. The 2000 filmAlmost Famousmade Kate (who starred as Penny Lane) an overnight sensation, earning her a Golden Globe for best supporting actress. Her career continued to skyrocket with films such asHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Days(2003),Fool’s Gold(2008),Bride Wars(2009) andSomething Borrowed(2011).

Kate has always praised her mother and Kurt, who helped raise Kate alongside Goldie. In honor of Kurt’s 70th birthday, Kate penned a heartfelt letter reexamining “how different our life would have been if he never entered the picture.”

“He’s an original. One of kind. A powerful, intelligent, talented, loyal family man. He has taught me that we can all exist with immense love through our differences,” she wrote onInstagram.

“He gave me the gift of confidence, instilling a knowingness in me that I deserved everything I worked for and I knew that he’d always have my back in whatever challenges may lay ahead. When you have a dad who gives you permission to be confident, you live courageously,” she added.

Kate is a mom of three herself. She welcomed her son Ryder Robinson with ex-husband Chris Robinson in January 2004. She also shares a sonBingham Hawn Bellamy, who was born in 2011, with ex-fiancé Matt Bellamy. In 2018, Kate and her fiancéDanny Fujikawawelcomed daughterRani Rose Hudson Fujikawa.

When it comes to navigating the ins and outs of co-parenting, Kate says she’s learned from the best. “I think the one thing that I learned from my mom is that no matter what you’re feeling and no matter what — when I see my friends talking s— about their ex-spouses in front of their kids, I get so upset because they don’t recognize how much that affects their child and how resentful their child will become of them,” the Fabletics founder said on a 2019 episode of theDivorce Sucks! With Laura Wasserpodcast.

“No matter what, I never heard a bad word about my father,” she said, adding, “It’s not our place to tell them [kids] how to feel about the other parents. I think that’s so important.”

While the actress wouldn’t “recommend it [her situation] to most,” she believesthe relationships she’s formed with each of her kids’ fathersare “quite amazing,” — even more amazing is the fact that the dads all get along as well!

“We might not have been able to live together and sustain the distance, but at the end of the day, there’s real love there. When the kids feel that I think, to them, it makes them feel safe and good,” Kate said.

Born on Feb. 16, 1980, Boston is Kurt’s son whom he shares with actress and ex-wife Season Hubley. The pair met on the set of 1979’sElvis,in which they portrayedElvisandPriscilla Presley. Their divorce came four years later, in 1983. Apart from the occasional red carpet appearance, Boston lives an ultra-private life, out of the spotlight.

Kate, however, remembers the first time she met Boston as a young girl. “For me, it felt like such a big moment because it was like, ‘My mom is madly in love with this guy.’ For me, at the time, it was like, ‘Is this going to be my dad?’ " she recalled on her podcastSibling Revelry. “And I was meeting his son [Boston], which meant, ‘Does this mean that this is my brother?’ It was a lot to handle at such a young age.”

“It’s everything you didn’t know it was going to be,” he told the outlet. “I think everything you hope it’s gonna be is like a mish-mash in your mind before it really happens and then after it happens, whatever happened before is almost like [it never happened].”

He continued, “Biologically, I think it does something to your brain where you just erase half your life before you’ve lived there. And now it’s about him and your family and trying to balance everything, and time, and new, amazing problems, amazing issues to have.”

In January 2024, Wyatt opened up about what it’s like tosee Kurt as a grandfatherto his son, as well as his siblings' kids, during a joint appearance with his father onLate Night With Seth Meyers.

“He’s awesome, ‘cause he can do all of the hard sort of lessons that sometimes I don’t want to have to do,” Wyatt said. “But luckily he doesn’t hide any of who he is to who my son is. So there was, like — we were going on a street when I was living in Vancouver shootingMonarch,and Buddy wants to test going on the street, and my dad goes, ‘No, no, no!’ "

“Boone Joseph Russell. Born Feb 13, a week before his due date. 8 pounds 3 oz of heaven. Hearts overflowing,” she wrote.
