Kate and Oliver Hudson Explain Why They Declined Kurt Russell's Adoption Offer

The siblings share their reasons for saying no to Russell's offer, despite considering him a father figure since childhood.

Kate and Oliver Hudson revealed on their podcast that Kurt Russell offered to adopt them during his early relationship with their mother, Goldie Hawn, in the 1980s.
The siblings declined the offer, saying they felt the love and connection with Russell was already strong and didn't require formal adoption.
Oliver and Kate have been open about their estranged relationship with their biological father, Bill Hudson, though they have recently started reconciling.
Oliver described Russell, who has been with Hawn for over 40 years, as a significant father figure who shaped the person he is today.
Both siblings acknowledged the emotional challenges of growing up without their biological father but emphasized their deep bond with Russell, whom they affectionately call 'Pa.'
