In an Instagram post, Kate Hudson looked back at her journey as a mother. The photos featured her son, her ex-husband Chris Robinson, and former partner Matt Bellamy.
The actor explained, “I remember staring into the eyes of baby Ryder. I was young but unwavering as a mother.” Hudson further added, “I thought I knew exactly what I was doing. Isn’t time a beautiful reminder to allow reflection and consideration of all we thought we knew, yet had no idea?”
Furthermore, she recalled the questions she had during Ryder’s birth. “The future was ahead, and I wondered, ‘Who will this child be one day?’ ‘What will be their favorite food?’ ‘Will they be funny? Serious? Difficult?.”
The Hollywood star also shared whether the child will “be fun to be around?, adding, “Please, God, make them cool.” Hudson continued, “Will they get through life with perspective? Will they be happy?’ The last being the most important to me, but the endless questions.”
She spoke of the anxiety that accompanies parenthood. “It floats daily, and I believe that most mothers have it even if they can’t quite pin down the feeling,” she shared. “‘I haven’t heard from them in a couple of days. Are they staying out of trouble? Are they being kind to people?…I’ve spent most of my adult life with this floating friend, anxiety.”
Despite those worries, Hudson couldn’t help but celebrate the young man her son has become. “He is fun, vibrant, and kind. His friends are all awesome and unique, none the same,” she wrote, “He loves his family, his siblings, and, gosh darn it, he loves his mom.”
Concluding her tribute, Hudson revealed how proud she felt as she watched Ryder step into a new chapter, “On this celebration party night, I felt a young man carrying great love out into the world.” She wrote, “And that is the greatest comfort as a mother. To witness him, ready for the next adventure.”
