Kate Hudson, Boyfriend Danny Fujikawa Welcome First Child Together
Actress Kate Hudson is a mom for the third time!
On Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2018, the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star took to Instagram with a series of text-posts to announce the birth of her first child with musician boyfriend Danny Fujikawa, a baby girl named Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa.
"She's here," Hudson wrote alongside the pink-and-black text-posts, completing her caption with a heart emoji. Revealing that the happy couple welcomed their daughter on Tuesday, Oct. 2, she shared with her 9 million followers, "We have decided to name our daughter Rani (pronounced Ronnie) after her grandfather, Ron Fujikawa. Ron was the most special man who we all miss dearly. To name her after him is an honor."
The proud mom added, "Everyone is doing well and happy as can be. Our family thanks you for all the love and blessings that have been sent our way and we send ours right back."
As Nicki Swift previously reported, Hudson, 39, and Fujikawa, 32, first announced that they were expecting their first child together in April 2018. At the time, the movie star shared a cute video from her gender reveal party on social media. "We have been trying to keep this pregnancy under the radar for as long as possible but I'm a poppin now! And it's too darn challenging to hide, and frankly hiding is more exhausting then just coming out with it!" Hudson wrote in part at the time, adding, "My kids, Danny, myself and the entire family are crazy excited! A little girl on the way."
Hudson and Fujikawa have been romantically linked since March 2017. However, they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the world premiere of Snatched, which starred Hudson's mom, Goldie Hawn, that May. Their newborn daughter is the Almost Famous star's third child. She also shares 14-year-old son Ryder with rocker Chris Robinson and 7-year-old son Bingham with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy.
A number of other celebs have shared exciting baby announcements of their own in recent weeks — including James Bond star Daniel Craig. In late September, multiple media outlets reported that he and his wife, Disobedience star Rachel Weisz, had welcomed their first child together, a baby girl. Around that time, it was revealed that actress Rashida Jones had given birth to her first child, a baby boy named Isaiah Jones Koenig, with longtime boyfriend and Vampire Weekend singer Ezra Koenig in late August.
Congratulations to Hudson and Fujikawa on their baby news!
