Having been practically raised by "The Thing" actor Kurt Russell after he began dating their mom Goldie Hawn in the early 1980s, Oliver and Kate Hudson's father, actor and musician Bill Hudson, has been mostly out of the picture - and his two children with Hawn have always made this quite clear.
In the latest turn of events regarding Oliver and Kate Hudson's father, the Oscar-nominated actress recently revealed to the press that she didn't have any sort of relationship with her biological dad, having always thought of Russell as her dad, while it's clear that both she and her brother deeply resent Bill over not trying hard enough to have a relationship with them growing up.
"Kurt's not my real dad but Kurt was amazing. He raised us from the age of three. Only until (sic) I got older did I really look at it and go, 'That's a real taking on for a man...'" the actress said when asked about Kate Hudson's father by Philly.com "That kind of makes him your real dad."
Later, the 36 year-old actress, who recently split from longtime fiancé and Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy, went on to state that she doesn't have any relationship with Kate Hudson's father, saying that it had just "never panned out that way."
As Business Standard reports, drama unfolded further during Father's Day this year, when Oliver took to Twitter to say it was "abandonment day" for he and sister Kate.
However, it's not all lost with Kate Hudson's father, as it seems her older brother Oliver is currently improving his relationship with their biological dad Bill, who was mostly absent from their lives after he and Hawn divorced when their children were little.
"I understood Oliver's sense of humor and since then, there's been some nice back and forth between Bill and Oliver and that's nice to see," said Kurt Russell to E! Online during the San Diego Comic-Con, when he was promoting his upcoming Quentin Tarantino film. "You want people to enjoy life as much as they can."
Hopefully, Kate Hudson's father can make amends and earn back the love of his grown children.
