Kate Hudson On Her Failed Relationships: What Went Wrong?

Kate Hudson is no stranger to failed relationships. The beloved actress and mother of three had her share of ups and downs in the dating world.

Hudson has been married twice and had several long-term relationships in between. In 2007, she split from her first husband, Chris Robinson, and in 2014, she separated from her second husband, Matt Bellamy.

Despite failing in relationships, Kate Hudson never gave up on her dreams. After two failed marriages, she decided to invest in Fabletics – an online activewear retailer she co-founded – and turned it into a success.

Hudson’s determination to make something of herself amidst failure proved invaluable, and now Fabletics is one of the leading online retailers.

Kate Hudson’s Dating History

Kate Hudson’s first marriage was to Chris Robinson, the former frontman of The Black Crowes. The couple tied the knot in 2000, but the marriage ended in divorce seven years later. After their divorce, Robinson said that he and Hudson were “just two different people living two different lives.”

Here’s a look back at Kate Hudson’s dating history.

Chris Robinson

Kate and Chris wed on New Year’s Eve in 2000, only a few months after they met. It was love at first sight for Hudson and the lead singer of The Black Crowes, who was previously married to Lala Sloatman.

They married on New Year’s Eve 2000 at Hudson’s mother, Goldie Hawn’s Old Snowmass, Colorado, home after dating for less than a year.

Ryder Russell Robinson, the couple’s first child, was born on January 7, 2004. The actress told PEOPLE about her relationship with Robinson after having a child in 2004: “We’re sharing something so big now. I believe it’s the best we’ve ever felt being together.”

The pair announced their split in August 2006. Robinson separated from Hudson three months later, and the divorce was finally formalized in October 2007.

Owen Wilson

Kate and Owen dated hotly after meeting on the 2006 movie You, Me & Dupree set. Although they briefly reconciled after their breakup in 2007, the actors called it quit in 2008.

Lance Armstrong

Hudson was rumored to be dating cyclist Lance Armstrong in 2008. While neither of them ever confirmed the relationship, they were spotted out and about together multiple times, and Hudson even attended the Tour de France during Armstrong’s victory in 2009. The couple seemed to have gone their separate ways soon after, with Hudson later saying she was “not a fan” of Armstrong.

Alex Rodriguez

Alex Rodriguez, a baseball player, and The Glass Onion actress, initially became associated in May 2009. Rodriguez was a member of the Yankees at the time, and Hudson was seen watching a game and dining with him at Mustang Grill in New York City.

After over a year of dating, the two allegedly broke up in December 2009. Rodriguez and Oliver Hudson, the sister of the actress, became close friends, and in 2020, Rodriguez even made an appearance on an episode of his podcast Daddy Issues.

Adam Scott

The Australian golfer Adam Scott is only one of several athletes kate Hudson dated. After being captured on camera together on a Hawaiian beach in 2009, the two became romantically linked.

Derek Hough

According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly at the time, Kate and the Dancing With the Stars pro were allegedly seen making out in 2014.

Matthew Bellamy

After a year of dating, the Muse rocker and actress said they were engaged in April 2011. Bingham Hawn Bellamy, their son, was born after two months. In 2014, they broke off their engagement.

In October 2015, Kate stated to Allure, “We made the decision to move on because we had different ideas about how we wanted to spend our lives.” “That doesn’t mean, though, that we can’t rebuild something that would be the best thing for the kids.”

While speaking on the “Reign With Josh Smith” podcast in December 2022, the Fool’s Gold actress commented on the end of her and Matt’s romance. “I think that’s when things started changing for me — when I started taking far more accountability for my own s—-,” she added. “That was when it started to shift because that’s where I think you discover your power.”

Nick Jonas

According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, the actress and Jonas Brothers singer got together in 2015. In a 2016 interview with Complex, Nick Jonas discussed their relationship.

The “Jealous” singer gushed over Kate, saying, “she’s fantastic. We had an unbelievable connection as two individuals that really admire things about each other and see something beautiful in each other.” “Out of my best effort to respect her and her privacy, I’m not going to say if we had sex. But we did have a great relationship. Even today, I have so much affection and respect. She’s amazing.”

Dax Shepard

Kate and Dax’s dating rumors burst in 2019 when they were seen out and about together, but it wasn’t until 2020 that they made their relationship Instagram official. The two had been dating for two years since they announced their engagement in February 2021, with Hudson posting a heartfelt post on social media.

Sadly, it was reported that the pair had called off their engagement in April 2021. Hudson has since opened up about the split and said in an interview that she’s “doing great,” and that the breakup made her realize how strong she is.

Danny Fujikawa

When Hudson was seen kissing Fujikawa in Los Angeles in March 2017, there were reports of a possible relationship. They had been pals since they first met more than ten years ago through her closest friends, Erin and Sara Foster (his stepsisters).

The actress described the unplanned circumstances of their first date in a post on Instagram from December 2017. “A year ago today,” Hudson said in the caption, “Danny took me on a hike. What I thought was just a hike with a family friend transformed very fast into an unexpected first date.” “On this first date, nothing was done, and it took him months to make the first move. So, on our 15th year of knowing one other, we were able to open our hearts to each other and feel such pure love, and it’s been simply great!”

In September 2021, the couple announced their engagement after five years of dating. Hudson revealed the news through Instagram with a snapshot of the duo and the comment, “Let’s Go!” Just hours later, the actress showed off her new jewels at the Met Gala in a baby pink dress by Michael Kors.

The following month, Hudson appeared on Watch What Happens Live and expressed her excitement about the engagement to presenter Andy Cohen.

She admitted, “I haven’t got my head around the planning phase. However, I believe I will only invite the individuals I love the most, and I have a hunch that it may be pretty big.
