American actress Kate Hudson has poured her heart out in a Instagram post dedicated to her stepfather, Kurt Russell on Father’s Day.
This comes after Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn celebrated 39 years together…
Goldie Hawn has been with Kurt since 1983, after divorcing Bill Hudson in 1980.
Since then, Kate has considered Kurt to be her father figure, and said: “I have a stepfather who stepped in and played a huge, huge part in sharing what it is to have a dependable father figure in our life.”
The Bride Wars actress spoke about the estrangement from her biological father: “I think that estrangement is unfortunately quite common. I think it’s important for people to talk about that.”
But her Father’s Day message has tugged at our heart strings…
Keeping the caption short and sweet, Kate expressed her love for her stepdad with an adorable throwback photo, writing all the best words that describe him, she said: “Fun, adventurous, passionate, determined, honest, devoted, amazing father and the best head of hair in Los Angeles! Lucky us! Love you Pa! Happy Father’s Day.”
Kate’s mom, Goldie, commented on her post: “Honey, I showed this to daddy. Here’s his message…”
Kate’s mom showed the precious message to Kurt, who is not on social media and there was a lot of love to be witnessed.
His message read: “Birdie, mommy just showed me this picture, this perfect Father’s Day present. I’ve never seen it before. Wow … it’s a killer.”
Kurt even got emotional and said: “Lotta water under the bridge … it’s kinda hard to see it though ’cause all that water seems to somehow have found its way into my eyes.”
But Kate’s “father-figure” felt beyond lucky to receive a message from his stepdaughter. He concluded his message on an even sweeter note: “Thanks for making me the luckiest father in the world, sweetheart. I love you, Pa.”
How sweet!
