Kate Hudson reveals the story behind her name, inspired by her uncle
Kate Hudson’s name has something borrowed from a beloved family member.
The How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days star (full name Kate Garry Hudson) recently opened up about where her middle name really came from.
“Garry, with two R’s,” Kate told ETalk in a Sept. 14 TikTok video. “I was named after my Uncle Garry. My mom—her favorite uncle.”
Kate—whose parents are Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson—has proven to be a very family oriented person, even hosting a podcast, Sibling Revelry, with her brother Oliver Hudson.
And while the Almost Famous actress and her brother are honest about their lives and growing up when behind the microphone, the duo recently had to defend her mom when her brother Oliver’s comments about childhood “trauma,” went viral.
“It’s not nice when people take something out of context or they look at something you’re doing and they get all negative about it,” Kate explained in a candid TikTok post in April. “Then I started thinking about people who live in that, like myself or any kind of celebrity, where you have to get used to it because people can be so mean.”
