“Today was a big day for our family. A day you talk about about when your kids are little and say things like ‘hey, one day it will be 2022 and you’ll graduate from high school!’ As if that day is so far it is barely reachable. And then here we are!” the actressbegan her heartfelt caption.
“@mr.ryderrobinsonyou are the most incredible young man. Raising you has been one of the great gifts and pleasures of my life. You bring so much to everyone’s life. You are kind, loving, generous, patient, hilarious and one of a kind. I am so excited for this next chapter,” she continued.

In March 2019, Hudson said on the podcastDivorce Sucks! with Laura Wasserof co-parenting with the three fathers of her children, “As much as I would say I don’t recommend it to most, my situation is quite amazing.”
She also revealed her tricks for maintaining ahealthy co-parenting relationship— including communication, self-sufficiency and always putting the kids first.
“When you get divorced, you’re still in a relationship,” Hudson said. “It’sjust a different kind of relationship.”
She added, “You’re going to have good days, you’re going to have bad days, you’re going to have good weeks, bad weeks.”

“He’s almost 6 feet. I used to dream about that day, like, ‘One day, honey, I’m going to be looking up to you,’ " she continued. “And the other day, he gave me a hug and Ialmost burst into tears. It’s crazy, it’s amazing, it’s beautiful.”
