Daughter of Kate Hudson and granddaughter of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, little Rani Rose Fujikawa is considered a Hollywood queen. For the tot’s fourth birthday, she decided to up the ante with a party fit for a princess – complete with superstar grandparents wearing their finest fairy tales.
In a photo shared by Hawn – known to her grandchildren as Glamma – the Oscar winner and her longtime partner are dressed up as Cinderella and Prince Charming while posing with Rani, who is wearing her own Disney-worthy ball gown.
“Happy 4th Birthday our precious Rani Rose,” Hawn captioned the photo. “You are the real queen! I take a maid of honor every day as long as the prince is always by my side! WE LOVE YOU!!!”
The couple’s costumes wowed their Instagram followers, with one commenter hailing them as “the best grandparents in the world!!!”
Although they first met on the set of the Disney musical The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band in 1968 — back when Russell was a teenager — the actors didn’t get romantic until they starred in Swing Shift, which starred filming began in 1983. At the time, both Hawn, now 76, and Russell, 71, were both divorced with children. Nearly 40 years later, the Overboard stars’ modern family includes Hawn’s children Kate and Oliver (from her marriage to Bill Hudson), Russell’s son Boston (from his marriage to Season Hubley), and their 36-year-old son, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier -Actor Wyatt.
In 2020, unmarried stars told CBS’ Tracy Smith that their romance had “no secret.”
“You two want to be together,” Hawn said. “You must want to be together.”
Though it hasn’t always been smooth sailing over the decades, she added, “One way of actually surviving a relationship is that when you get older you’re like, ‘I’m so glad I got through this.’ Relationships have phases, sometimes really tough times, but there’s nothing quite like having a family and it’s all worth it.”
The story goes on
Playing dress up isn’t the only way Hawn stays young. In a video shared this week by her eldest son, actor Oliver Hudson, the First Wives Club star can be seen enthusiastically bouncing on a mini-trampoline over to Dua Lipa.
“She insists I came out of her belly, but I don’t buy it,” Hudson quipped.
