Kate Hudson’s ex-husband Chris Robinson revealed that their son Ryder plans to follow in his famous mother’s footsteps as he pursues an acting career.
The 59-year-old musician made the rare confession during an interview on Sunday Entertainment tonight at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars viewing party.
“He’s his own young man, so there’s that. Very proud of him. I imagine he’ll focus a little more on the handsome leading man in his life and not so much on the crazy, unnecessary, bohemian rock ‘n’ roll part of his other family,” Chris told the outlet.
“There’s a lot of life ahead of him. I’m just very proud of him,” he added.
For those unfamiliar, Chris and Kate were married from 2000 to 2007 and welcomed their son Ryder in 2004.
Kate was nominated for Best Actress at the 2026 Academy Awards for her performance in the film Song sung blue and later joined her son at the Vanity Fair Oscar bash.
In an interview, Ryder discussed his own ambitions to make a mark in Hollywood.
“I’m doing my best. I want to get into the business. I have big shoes to fill,” he said.
