Rumor: Kate Hudson fights with new beau over son

tink1217 on April 29th, 2007

If its true, I don’t always trust L&S, but if it is true GOOD FOR KATE!!! I have always liked Owen Wilson okay, but he doesn’t strike me as the type to be kid friendly.

Callen on April 29th, 2007

You Go Girl:)! Lol.

Rose on April 29th, 2007

If this is true, then good for her.

Madi on April 29th, 2007

Good for her! I remember when Owen and Kate got together, a lot of people didn’t like her for having an affair – which may not even be true – when she has a son. If this rumor is true, it makes me like Kate even more. I hate seeing people get remarried when they already kids and care more for their spouse/boyfriend than their kids. It reminds me of Diane Downs.

Devein on April 29th, 2007

If this is true she needs to get out as soon as possible.

Summer on April 29th, 2007

Good for her! Many would have gone. I’m glad she decided to stay with her son. Gives me more respect for her.

ladymama on April 29th, 2007

Is it just me, or does this story sound totally made up? I am a huge fan of both Kate and Owen. This story just seems a bit ridiculous. I have no idea if any of my comments have ever been posted on here, by the way. Am I allowed to say I think that Life and Style fabricated this?

Sure! That’s why we mark and categorize posts like this as rumor – readers can come to their own conclusions.

Dump him Kate! Ryder should be her number one concern and any man who does not understand that is not worth it!!!

TwinMom24 on April 29th, 2007

Not that I truly believe this story (after all, it is a “rumor”!), but I think it’s healthy for a couple to make some time to be alone together. Your kids should always be your priority of course, but it doesn’t mean you have to be with them 24/7.

Once in a while my parents come and look after my kids (6 years old) while hubby and I take off for a weekend. Sure I miss the kids while I’m gone, but it’s so nice to be one-on-one with my guy, stay up late, do what we want, have some quiet time, etc. It also makes me appreciate the kids more when we get home.

nicksmomma on April 29th, 2007

I hope Kate set Owen’s butt straight. I am with the father of my child, but if I weren’t, ANYONE hoping to be in my life would have to understand that my son comes first and always will. And if they couldn’t understand that, then I don’t think that’d be someone I’d want in my life anyway.

claire on April 29th, 2007

I wondered how long it would take for swinging bachelor Owen to get tired of having Ryder around all the time.

Michelle on April 29th, 2007

Good on her, that is the way it should be – kids come before any man!

Catherine on April 29th, 2007

if this story is true, good for her for putting ryder before anyone else!

Sarah on April 29th, 2007

I love this website but not the rumor topics

Sarah’s note: I don’t particularly either, but in last year’s reader survey, 70% of CBB readers said they liked reading rumors on CBB as long as they were clearly marked! This year’s survey is coming soon, so you can vote again with your opinion.

andilea on April 29th, 2007

Isn’t that the way it should be. Your child SHOULD ALWAYS come first.
I love Kate Hudson, even more as a mother. She is so like Goldie Hawn.
Ryder is adorable too. I think I was the only one that liked his long hair…hey, they are hippies, what can you say?

Grayson's Girl on April 29th, 2007

More power to Kate if it’s true. If she’s not ready to leave her son for an extended period then she shouldn’t. Her son is a priority for her as he should be IMO. I’m happy to hear that she recognizes that boyfriends some and go but her son is her’s for life. When she and Ryder are ready to spend time apart they will, until then I’m glad she’s standing her ground.

Carol on April 29th, 2007

I’ve been married 16 years and my husband is the stepfather of my two sons, now grown. I’ve been through the kids/significant other thing and I don’t agree with Kate’s attitude. Yes, it is fine to take care of Ryder because of course, he is little. But, everything in moderation! Her obessive attitude about her son does not do Ryder any good, neither does it do Kate any good. It’s not good to think that kids always come first–you are pitting the kids and the significant other against each other. They end up hating one another, because both want the attention of the mom. I never let my kids think that every single time they wanted something, they were gonna get it, or that I would stick up for them every single time, or be with them every single minute of the day. I didn’t want my sons to become spoiled and think that I would always choose them first. I always gave them the time and attention they needed, but let them know that *I*, *mommy* needed time for herself and time for me to spend with my SO (now husband). Once I put down the rules **and** once my sons saw that I WAS there for them when they needed me, they understood about me needing time for myself. There was never any problem and I could give my sons to my ex and have some free/private time to myself. It gave me the ability to recharge and be better for my kids, and also let my SO know that I loved him and he was important to me.

I really don’t understand these celebrity moms who attach themselves so tightly to their children. Don’t they want an adult life?? What are they afraid of? It seems to me that Kate is letting Owen know that he not important to her. Maybe he should move on, find someone else. I think a good example of a balanced mom/spouse is Julia Roberts. She gives her children plenty of time, she works and keeps her marriage with Danny Moder going.

Lauren on April 29th, 2007

Carol, I think a lot of moms are like that, not just celebrities. They’re known as “helicopter moms,” lol.
And while I’m taking this with a grain of salt as with all rumors, it wouldn’t surprise me if it were true. Owen has never struck me as a kid-friendly type who wanted to settle down. That said, he may be frusterated because Kate takes Ryder everywhere with her to the point that they are never alone, to which I say he has every right to be annoyed. It has nothing to do with him disliking Ryder-if Kate isn’t giving Owen alone time, the relationship is not going to work because she isn’t putting in the effort.

Allison on April 29th, 2007

I agree with Lauren! Excellent point(s)!!!

Judy on April 29th, 2007

There is a huge difference between Julia Roberts/Danny Moder and Kate and Owen. Danny Moder is the father of Julia’s kids, Owen is merely a new boyfriend who may or may not want her son around. Also Ryder is *only* three years old. When my girls were that young the only person I would allow to keep them overnight were relatives. Also Ryder still might be getting used to the idea that his daddy is no longer around. He is a little boy, he doesn’t understand divorce he is attaching himself to the only person who is a regular in his life, which is his mother. People act like he can and should understand divorce. I think Kate is a great Mom and I respect her even more. In my book any man who doesn’t want my kids around doesn’t want me.

Callen on April 29th, 2007

I agree that you should set time aside for your “adult”life. But… I can only so agree with the Married situations.If your married it is different. It’s both your children and you can relate on the issue of “your” children with eachother.If you are dating someone rather they have a child or not. They are not the parent to your child, so they wouldn’t understand. Your true feeling’s, motive’s,morals exc. Every parent is different. Ryder is probably the only man she will have a strong bond with forever. Men come and go, but children stay. Even my husband and I agree. The kids come first. And that is what kate is doing. So say she payed more attention to Owen then to Ryder. Ryder gets older begins to understand. Isn’t happy with the relationship with his mom. And little Owen the flying Bachelor and Kate break up.? Thats not a very good ending. She is doing a fantastic thing if this is true. Im glad to see a Hot mama with power.lol

Sasha on April 29th, 2007

If Owen loves and is thinking about a future with Kate, that future involves Ryder and Ryder’s Dad whether he wants it or not. He should actually take this time to really bond with Ryder.

Kresta on April 29th, 2007

Well, I am going against the grain and saying that it wouldn’t hurt for Kate to have a weekend away from her son occasionally. He has a father and doting grandparents he can stay with. He isn’t a baby anymore and I feel it’s a good idea to have time away from children on the odd occasion so they won’t be so traumatised if you need to be hospitalised or go somewhere where children aren’t welcome.

Stephany on April 29th, 2007

Good for you, Kate!

I don’t think it’s a matter of “babying” Ryder and never having alone time. There have been reports of Kate spending weekends with Owen, sometimes alone and sometimes with Ryder. And I think that she wanted to be with her son on her birthday. This isn’t like it’s just any old weekend. It’s a special one and she wants to be with her favorite person on that day! It’s not a matter of babying him, it’s a matter of being a good mother and seeing that the man you’re in a relationship with doesn’t really respect that! Good for you, Kate!

FC on April 29th, 2007

Don’t really know what’s true or not, but I just wanted to say that I wouldn’t see why she wouldn’t want to spend time with her son Ryder on her birthday. I mean, yes, she’s in a relationship, but it’s her birthday. Maybe she’s one who loves sharing her time, even special moments like her birthday, with her little boy. They could compromise and always spend one part of her birthday with Ryder, then go out and have a quiet evening together. It’s really not something that has to be argued about.

If spending time with her boy, who I can tell she adores more than the world, makes her happy on her big day, why ruin it? Find a happy medium, period.

Lola on April 30th, 2007

Not believing this.

madam pince on April 30th, 2007

I’m siding with Kate on this, becuase I’ve known of so many mothers who chose boyfriends over children, not caring about the impact it had on the kids. For the few who say Kate’s devoting too much of her life to Ryder — he’s THREE. We’re not talking about a teenager here. I think by the time Ryder does reach his teen, Kate will have set a firm foundation for a solid parent/child relationship that will give him both roots & wings.

madam pince on April 30th, 2007

I’d like to add one more point — as Calvin Trillin wrote, either your kids are the center of your life or they aren’t. Seems apparently Ryder is the center of Kate’s, and Owen needs to decide how he feels about that.

Mary on April 30th, 2007

While I think it’s good for a couple to spend some alone time together, I think I’d want to spend my birthday with my child. I don’t blame her for getting angry for him not understanding that Ryder comes first.

Michelle on May 1st, 2007

Carol.

If you choose to be a parent, your child should be priority in your life. Men can come and go but your children are with you forever, or they should be.

My mother left both myself and my brother to move to a different state with a man that she had know for 5 months. I was 12 and my brother was 13 and we needed her then, but she wasnt around.

I have no contact with her anymore and havent for over 10 years.

When I had my children, the love I felt for them is so strong and I could not understand how she could leave us.

Children are not asked to be brought into this world. But they need their parents.

Her son is 3 years old and his parents have split and she is now dating a new partner. It was a lot for me as a teenager to taken on board, never mind a 3 year old child.

I think she should be applauded for putting her son first.

TwinMom24 on May 1st, 2007

There has to be a healthy balance in any family.

My spouse of 12 years is going to be with me forever (or so I hope!). The kids are the center of our lives, but we need time alone as a couple, too.

Gina on May 2nd, 2007

Big up’s to Kate, always put your child first, and your man should be ashamed of his self for acting like a spoiled baby WANTING all your time to him self, to except you is to except your CHILD.

If this is true, good for Kate!! I am a firm believer in Attachment Parenting. I don’t use sitters or Day Care when my children are young. I didn’t leave mine until they were 6 and started to school, and they didn’t have any problems leaving me when the time came either… they were very confident and not clingy or whiney when I left them. My relationship with their father did not suffer either. I am currently pregnant now and again, will not leave her, They are only small for a short while and they first 6 years of life are they most important for molding and building their character and also the important bonding time. Every thing is a learning and growing period for them, and they are constantly changing. Each new experience is something magical and exciting through their eyes, I never wanted to miss a single second of anything.
