At the 2026 TIME100 Gala, Kate Hudson shared the most important lesson she hopes her three children will learn from her. The actress, known for her role in Running Point, emphasized the value of hard work and discipline, and the importance of family above all else.
"My hope is that they see how hard I work," Hudson told E! News on April 23. "And that they understand. I know that's how I feel about my parents. It's just work ethic. Discipline, work ethic."
Mother to Ryder, 22, Bingham, 14, and Rani, 7, Hudson also highlighted the collaborative spirit of her career and the sense of community she cherishes.
"What we do—and what I know my kids are gonna do—is we're a community," she said. "It's a real community, and we can't do it without each other. It's a really collaborative medium."
The 47-year-old reflected on the support system that has sustained her through decades in the spotlight.
"To make friends, to really celebrate each other and celebrate each other's work," she said. "I hope that's what they take from what I'm trying to model."
Above all, Hudson made it clear that her children have always been her priority.
"Family always comes first, no matter what," she stated. "Nothing matters as much as your children and your family."
Hudson has previously predicted that some of her kids may follow her into the entertainment industry, a tradition that runs in her family, which includes parents Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, as well as brothers Oliver Hudson and Wyatt Russell.
