> In December 2000 Kate
Hudson married rocker Chris Robinson in
an intimate, and private ceremony with
close family and friends. The couple
made several red carpet appearances to
Kate's movie premieres, and Kate joined
Chris on the road with his band The
Black Crowes. Motherhood wasn't far off
to add to Kate's list of
accomplishments. After being a loving
wife for more then three years, Kate
gave birth to a baby boy Ryder Russell
Robinson in early January of 2004. The
loving family was featured in a photo
spread in the June 2004 edition of the
American Vogue magazine. Kate had also
given the world an early look at her new
addition during an interview with Barbra
Walters on 20/20.
In the Beginning...
|
>
Kate had been a Black Crowes fan all her
life but when she found herself
face-to-face with the lead singer she
had no clue who he was. At first the two
never connected. However fate would have
its way and bring the two back together
in another chance encounter a few years
later at a party in New York City.
Instead of history repeating it self,
the two were surprisingly attracted to
one another this time around.
Within four days the pair were
inseparable, and already moved in
together. Kate is quoted saying that "I
met him on a Thursday and moved in that
Sunday." Her family tried to be
optimistic about Kate's sudden
relationship. Her pa was the first to
notice the whirlwind romance was the
real deal. He knew that she was really
in love with Chris because she didn't
come home and talk about him. She didn't
have to convince herself how great he
was to herself or anyone.
Seven months after meeting, Kate married
Chris Robinson on New Years Eve 2000 at
her parents 7,500-sq.-ft. home in Old
Snowmass near Aspen. According to
reports, approximately 70 close family
members and friends were in attendance,
including Chris's fellow band mates,
Michael Douglas and Sally Field. Kate
wore a 19th century-inspired, strapless
ivory silk duchesse satin Vera Wang
dress, with a hand-stitched corset
bodice. In sticking with the time of the
year, the wedding was white on white
(candles, flowers etc.) After the
ceremony, guests ended up at the Elk
Mountain Lodge, where hip country band
BR5-49 supplied the music.
In June 2003 Kate Hudson & Chris
Robinson announced that they were
expecting their first child. On January
7th 2004 Kate & Chris welcomed their son
Ryder Russell Robinson into the world.

Le Divorce...
>
On August 14th 2006 it was announced
that Kate would be separating from Chris
Robinson after nearly seven years of
marriage. After it was announced the two
would be separating, speculation in the
tabloid media began, running the gamut from
Chris's "wild rock star" ways as quoted
from one magazine, to Kate's rising
career. Every possible scenario was
written about all of which is pure
speculation and tabloid fodder. Kate and
Chris remain a close relationship as
friends, and were photographed days
after the separation became publicly
announced.. Their divorce was finalized in
the fall of 2007.
"I mean [divorce is] really, really
hard. And for both Chris and me, our
main focus is, and was, Ryder. And happy
parents, happy baby. And therefore, I
love Chris to pieces. He's my first huge
love. I spent seven years with Chris. I
was 20 when I met him. We still talk
everyday. He still cracks me up. And
Ryder feels that."
