Rio Hudson Has Inherited Her Grandma Goldie Hawn's Looks

Nov 26, 2020

Goldie Hawn has had a prolific acting career throughout her life, but she has never let that get in the way of her personal life. With a partner of 37 years, she has raised her kids to be good people, and is now helping out with her grandchildren as well! With 4 children and 7 grandchildren, Hawn certainly has her hands full as a grandma. Her granddaughter Rio in particular seems to be a chip off the old block, and is taking after her grandmother! 

Goldie Hawn is one of the most well-known actresses in Hollywood, and her daughter Kate Hudson also falls into the same category. For the Cactus Flower actress, however, family comes above everything else. According to Hello! Magazine, Hawn is "incredibly close" to all her grandchildren and was present for all of their births. 

Hawn told Australian Women's Weekly, "A good family is the answer to happiness,"  as per Hello! Magazine. She added, "I look at our kids and grandchildren and there's nothing in the world that could make me as proud as I am of all of them. Being a grandmother is amazing, I love it. It brings incredible joy. Family is so important."

Hawn's partner of 37 years, Kurt Russell, also plays a big part in their family's life. The couple share son Wyatt Russel, and have co-parented all their children in their blended family. Kurt Russel has a son, Boston Russell from a previous marriage to Season Hubley, while Hawn's children Kate and Oliver with ex-husband Bill Hudson.

From Hawn's side, she has 7 grandchildren. Oliver shares three children with his wife Erinn Bartlett: Wilder, 13, and Bodhi, 10, and Rio, 6. Goldie is also grandmother to Kate Hudson's three children: Ryder, 16, Bingham, 9, from Hudson's previous marriage to Matt Bellamy, and one-year-old Rani with singer Danny Fujikawa.

Hawn posts quite a few pictures of her grandchildren on her Instagram page, and some recent pictures of her granddaughter Rio have brought forward quite a few comments on how much the little girl resembles her "GoGo" from her younger days. 

One photograph is a goofy one of Rio with her legs in the air. It seems as though Rio has inherited her grandma's goofiness as well, especially when you see older photos of Hawn from early on in her career. Social Media users were quick to catch the resemblance. One user commented, "Looks like Mini Goldie GORGEOUS", while another said, "She looks like Goldie!". Another user was also quick to point out that Rio may have learned her quirkiness from Hawn, and commented "Something her grandma taught her??"

Russel and Hawn have created a great family bond because spending quality time together is one of their priorities in life. "We always trim the tree on Christmas Eve and we have a big meal,” Russell told Closer Weekly. "The grandkids put their pajamas on and hang up their stockings. We get the fire going and when it gets dark we always choose someone to read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.'"

It is also important for Hawn to celebrate big events with her grandchildren throughout the year, such as Rio preschool graduation and charity functions for the Goldie Hawn Foundation. Photos of such events on her social media show how close the family truly feels with one another. 

In February this year, Hawn and Hudson posed for the cover of People Magazine along with Hudson's daughter Rani. “When your daughter has a daughter, it’s a big deal,” told People. “I mean, it really is.” Kate added, “And now with little Rani Rose, I was so excited. The third generation.” This was another opportunity for Hawn and her family to not only spend some time together but also to talk about how much family means to them. 

“My mom gave me the floor to be able to feel confident enough to go out and feel like my life could be my own,” said Hudson. “Mom was my greatest cheerleader. And it just made me think about Rani…going, ‘I hope I give her that kind of confidence,’ you know?”

Hawn's relationship with Russell is another important factor that has made an impact on their family. After all, 37 years is not a short time, and in Hollywood especially, having a long and healthy marriage is quite rare. Hudson said of the couple, "To live up to that is really the goal,” she said. “Just the fact that they’ve been able to maintain a unit for all of us, in times of turmoil, they really are the center of all of our lives."

Hawn also added, "When you have your children and you have a man who loves your children, that’s a very tough bond."

We always love it when celebrities celebrate their families!
