Kate Hudson recalls the heartbreak she experienced amid her divorce from ex-husband Chris Robinson.
Hudson, 45, appeared on SiriusXM The Howard Stern Show on May 7 to promote her debut album as a recording artist and also discuss her marriage to Robinson, 57, a musician best known for her work with the band The Black Crowes. Speaking to Stern, Hudson recalled spending time with Robinson and his band while on tour while they were married from 2000 to 2007.
“My relationship with Chris was so beautiful and there was so much love, but I really grew out of it and it was a very difficult breakup,” she said, after mentioning their divorce. “It wasn’t an easy breakup; I was very much in love with him, but it wasn’t the rest of my life.”
“Chris is brilliant – he’s brilliant and he’s really funny and he’s one of the great vocal instruments – an amazing frontman, and with that comes this sort of nomadic artist life that can be hard on relationships,” Hudson added.
The Almost famous star noted that she was just 21 when she and Robinson tied the knot and was still in her early 20s when they welcomed their son Ryder, now 20 himself.

“I was like a baby. When my life really took off and I wanted to go in different directions, we literally just weren’t in the same space to continue,” she added about why her and Robinson’s marriage didn’t work.

Hudson doesn’t often comment on her past relationship with Robinson. In February 2023, the actress told Sara Foster and Erin Foster The first podcast in the world that her marriage to Robinson “was so important in teaching me what it feels like to be loved unconditionally.”
No matter how complicated the relationship became at one point, the most important moment for me was that I met him and that he allowed me to understand what it feels like, she said then.
