‘We Said No’: Oliver Hudson Says Kurt Russel Offered To Adopt Him And His Sister Kate As Kids But They Refused; DEETS

As a lifestyle expert with a deep appreciation for the complexities and nuances of family dynamics, I find this story to be both heartwarming and thought-provoking. Kurt Russell’s offer to adopt Kate Hudson and Oliver speaks volumes about his character, his compassion, and his genuine care for Goldie Hawn’s children.

In an intriguing turn of events on the November 24 episode of the Sibling Revelry podcast hosted by Kate Hudson and her brother Oliver, it was disclosed that Kurt Russell nearly assumed the role as their father. This is because, when they were children, Russell proposed adopting the siblings after he began dating their mother, Goldie Hawn.

In a podcast discussion, Kate and Oliver (Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson’s kids) talked about their family’s relationships. Following their parents’ separation, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell took care of them as they had little contact with their biological father at that point in time. Additionally, the pair have a half-brother named Wyatt Russell who shares their father, Bill Hudson.

In this podcast episode, Oliver had Tish Cyrus-Purcell (Miley Cyrus’s mom) and Brandi Cyrus as guests. They discussed their experiences in dealing with a family that has its challenges, particularly under the public eye. Brandi, who was taken in by Billy Ray Cyrus after he began dating her mother, shared insights about growing up as an adopted child.

While she shared her stories, Oliver pondered upon his personal history. “You see, my father was with us for a short while, and then he left,” he explained. “Nowadays, we have a strong bond, but it took an incredibly long time to reach this point… but we’ve managed,” Oliver concluded.

Moving on to the subject of adoption, it was disclosed that the actor from Silkwood considered the legal process of adopting him and his sister. “Kurt entered my life when I was around five or six years old… essentially, he became my guardian… I owe a great deal of who I am today to him,” he stated.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but reflect on a poignant moment when he inquired if the children were open to being adopted. To my understanding, their youth may have clouded their comprehension of what adoption truly entails. Instead, I suspect they declined due to feeling content with the love that was already surrounding them. “The affection is right here,” he emphasized.

Consequently, he continues to show the actor a deep respect akin to a father figure and refers to him as “Pa.” Yet, he acknowledged that the strained relationship with his biological dad had left its mark on him. “It’s difficult to fill that void no matter what,” Oliver said. “There was always something… not absent, but there was always an unfulfilled aspect to it.
