When did Kate Hudson Give Birth to Ryder Robinson?
Ryder Russell Robinson was born on January 7, 2004, in Los Angeles, California, USA. He is the first child of actress Kate Hudson and her former husband musician Chris Robinson. His parents got married on December 31, 2000, and got divorced on October 22, 2007. Both parents share the joint custody of their son Ryder.
As Ryder’s parents got separated from each other, they started seeing other people and had other children too. As of now, Ryder shares a half-brother Bingham Hawn Bellamy and a half-sister, Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa from her mother’s side.
He also has a half-brother Cheyenne Genevieve Robinson from his father’s third marriage with Allison Bridges.
Ryder’s Comes From a Family of Celebrities
While both of his parents are in Hollywood, he also has some very famous relatives. His grandmother Oscar-winning actress Goldie Hawn and her partner of 35 years actor Kurt Russell have also been a big part of his life.
Ryder being a part of such a huge Hollywood family always had the media spotlight over him. While his parents were separated, they really tried to give him a loving home under normal living conditions.
His mother Kate Hudson once revealed in one of her interviews that oftentimes she felt like a bad mother but after raising three kids, she now has full confidence in her parenting skills.
Following the divorce of Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson, Robinson wanted to have full custody of their son, Ryder. Both of them compromised at that point in their life and decided to split the custody half and half. According to some sources, Ryder could float between either parent as long as it does not hamper his school.
However, in 2017, news came out that Ryder’s father Chris Robinson had filed a document on February 6 to reopen the child custody agreement between him and his ex-wife Kate Hudson. Apparently, he had a disagreement regarding the parenting style of Hudson and wanted to have full custody of his son in order to provide his son with more guidance. He also wanted child support from his ex-wife.
These court documents contained the consent of both parents to go through evaluation interviews and get Ryder’s thoughts regarding his living situation. All health, education, employment, and other related records of both parents were accessible for the evaluator sent by the court. Hudson was even ordered to pay the initial $7500 deposit for the evaluation costs.
As of lately, Ryder’s parents are still co-parenting Ryder. However, according to some close sources, Ryder did apparently express a desire to live with his father. Despite all of this, Ryder shares a very good relationship with both of his parents. Since both of them are very focused on their individual career, people would assume the child is being neglected but that does not seem to be the case here.
Even though his parents got divorced and most of the time, Chris is on the road promoting his music, they make the best of all the time they could spend with each other. He is always spending quality time with both of his parents.

Ryder became a big brother to a little girl and from the photos, we could tell that he really adored her. Ryder was also very helpful and caring for his mother at the time of her motherhood.
Now the family of five, they like going on strolls and spending their evenings together.
