Hudson was raised by mom Goldie Hawn's longtime partner, Kurt Russell, because the 42-year-old actor is estranged from her biological father.
"I think that estrangement is unfortunately quite common," she added, referencing her relationship with her biological father."I think it's important for people to talk about that. If they can't reconnect or if it's too challenging, that it's OK, right?"
"It's a 41-year-old issue," she continued."I have a great family. I have a beautiful mother. 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. But it doesn't take away from the fact that we didn't know our dad." "I think as I've sort of gone through that process ... I kind of look at my dad and I'm, like, 'You know, the love has never ever gone anywhere. It's always been there, no matter what those complications have been. And healing is ... personal, and I think people sometimes just need to hear that they're not alone in that."Maura Hohman is a Brooklyn-based weekend editor and reporter for TODAY Digital who joined the team early in the coronavirus pandemic.
