Goldie Hawn Reacts to Granddaughter Rio, 12, Joining Hollywood

Goldie Hawn is throwing her reservations overboard.

Besides passing on her acting talent to her daughter, Kate Hudson, and sons, Oliver Hudson and Wyatt Russell, the Oscar winner playfully hinted that her eldest granddaughter – Rio, who is 12 years old and son of Oliver – may soon follow in their footsteps and venture into show business.

Goldie expressed to Entertainment Tonight that frankly, there wasn’t much of a choice for her during their recent joint interview with Oliver and Rio (on Instagram Aug 17), and she believes the same goes for Kate – they didn’t have any other option, and it seems like this time around, they don’t have a choice either.

Despite the humor, it’s clear that the 79-year-old emphasized, “My only wish for her is happiness. Everything else doesn’t matter to me.

Oliver, who is happily married to Erinn Bartlett and has two boys, Wilder (age 17) and Bodhi (age 14), supports his daughter’s aspirations as well. However, he emphasized a cautious approach in pursuing them.

He revealed that she desires it, referring to the outlet. He also praised her dancing skills, stating they’re inherent. However, before moving on to plays, he mentioned they plan to focus on dance first.

Oliver emphasized, “We’re gonna go slowly.”

As a devoted grandparent, I take immense pride in fostering and nurturing the career aspirations of my children and grandchildren. It’s an honor to play this significant role in their lives.

She expressed her affection for being a grandmother during an episode of Hoda Kotb’s Making Space podcast in November. She clarified, however, that she isn’t their leader. Instead, she sees herself as someone who brings joy to them and provides a listening ear when needed.

Goldie has also been vocal about her love for her and longtime partner Kurt Russell’s family.

She shared with the Australian Women’s Weekly in 2022 that nothing fills her with more pride than looking at our children and grandchildren. She enthusiastically expresses that being a grandmother is fantastic, and she cherishes every moment of it as it brings immense happiness. She also emphasized the importance of family.

Apart from Goldie, it’s not just her who enjoys her role as a grandmother. In fact, her daughter-in-law Meredith Hagner, who has sons Buddy (3) and Boone (18 months) with Goldie’s son Wyatt, also appreciates the Overboard actress and her partner.

According to Meredith, she declared last August that they are simply outstanding individuals, exceptionally wonderful grandparents too. (Us Weekly)

She mentioned, “Their residence lies just beyond ours; it serves as their secondary dwelling. There’s usually a cookie jar stocked for them, and my boy knows exactly where to find it. Additionally, there’s a toy box overflowing with playthings at all times.

How many grandkids does it take to put a smile like that on Grandma’s face?

As a devoted lifestyle advocate, I found myself surrounded by a precious sea of love during Mother’s Day 2024. Six out of my eight cherished grandchildren graciously nestled themselves in my embrace, creating a moment that will forever remain etched in my heart – captured perfectly by my daughter, the radiant Kate Hudson.

Goldie and her partner, Kurt Russell, found themselves experiencing the magic of Christmas a tad prematurely as they portrayed Mr. and Mrs. Claus in their roles.

In November 2018, the premiere of “The Christmas Chronicles” was a special occasion for Oliver Hudson and his family, with Wyatt Russell attending alongside his future wife, Meredith Hagner.

Goldie enjoyed a quiet moment with one of her grandbabies.

In the year 2024, Goldie and her granddaughters, Rani Fujikawa and Rio Hudson, donned appropriate attire for a day spent on the ranch.

In 2024, Goldie and her two granddaughters, Rani Fujikawa and Rio Hudson, dressed suitably for a day at the ranch.

Goldie was enjoying herself so much with her son Oliver, daughter Kate, her partner Danny Fujikawa, and their daughter Rani, that she found it hard to keep on her feet.

Goldie, Kurt, and Rio embodied the essence of Hollywood aristocracy, thereby fulfilling a child’s dream of meeting Disney stars.

Goldie titled a photo from June 2024, “Family Vacation Time!”, expressing it as, “The most precious treasure anyone could ask for.

At thirteen years old, Kate’s eldest son, Ryder Robinson, reached an age where he was permitted to accompany adults to events, such as the Goldie’s Love In For Kids benefit in 2017, where he mingled with his mother, grandparents, and uncle Wyatt.

At the Goldie Hawn Foundation and MindUp Gala, marking its 20th anniversary in 2024, it was clear that Rio had mastered the art of Goldie’s charming head tilt to a tee. I couldn’t help but be captivated by every glimpse of it!

Instead of shouting “cheese” at the annual Goldie’s Love In For Kids, budding ballerina Rio, who was only a few months away from turning 3, chose to give a graceful curtsey instead.

Kate celebrated her pop Kurt on Father’s Day 2023 with a snap of him surrounded by grandkids.

As a devoted admirer, I might say, “My heart is humming with love,” capturing the essence of a lovely photo of Goldie and Rani that I shared back in February 2024, complete with a captivating carousel for all to enjoy.

Goldie enjoyed herself immensely while accompanying Erinn, her daughter-in-law, along with their children Wilder, Bodhi, and Rio to the 2025 premiere of Happy Gilmore 2.
