Kate Hudson’s proved she has a type before her fiancé

As the daughter of Goldie Hawn, Hudson spent most of her life in the public eye. However, her fame increased when she booked a starring role in Almost Famous, premiered in 2000. Once the film took off, Hudson started working on multiple films throughout the aughts. 

In between her movie roles, the actor became known for her personal relationships. Throughout Hudson’s fame, she’s been romantically involved with Nick Jonas and other celebrities. The romances came after her divorce from Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson in 2007. Hudson was also engaged to Muse frontman Matt Bellamy until 2015. 

The actor’s dating history and recent engagement to Chief band member Fujukawa prove she likes spending time with musicians. In a March 2021 interview with InStyle, the daughter of musician Bill Hudson admitted she feels an energetic pull to artists. 

“I’m attracted to musical people, period,” Hudson said. “From the outside, yeah, I get it. ‘Oh, I like a rock star,’ or whatever. But that’s not really what it is. The reason I connect so deeply with musicians … is because we all connect to music in a way that you don’t have to explain. You just feel it, and it’s something you love. The lifestyle is not something to fall in love with.”

How did Kate Hudson meet her fiancé Danny Fujikawa? 

After her split from Bellamy, Hudson remained single for a while. She soon realized that she didn’t have to look far when she decided to find love again. The Bride Wars actor began dating Fujikawa in 2016.
