Now, this is a story you don’t want to miss. Picture this: Kate Hudson’s brother, Oliver Hudson, decided to interview her ex, Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod), for his podcast, “Joe Buck and Oliver Hudson Have Daddy Issues.” But here’s the kicker—he didn’t even tell Kate about it! When Andy Cohen, the king of celebrity gossip, asked Oliver why he kept it under wraps, the actor simply said, “I didn’t want to get a no.”
What Happened When Kate Found Out?
When Kate found out about the interview during an appearance on the April 28 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she couldn’t help but laugh. “He didn’t even bother to say, ‘Hey, I’m thinking about interviewing your ex-boyfriend. Is that cool?’” Kate, 41, joked as she sat alongside her brother. Can you imagine how that must’ve felt? But hey, it’s all in good fun, right?

Oliver’s Defense
Oliver tried to explain himself by saying he deliberately avoided discussing A-Rod’s past relationship with Kate on the podcast. He wanted to keep things professional and focused on A-Rod’s career and experiences rather than past romances. “I’m not going to talk about their relationship,” Oliver said, emphasizing that he kept it strictly professional. But, of course, he did share a funny memory about A-Rod from their time in Canada.

“I have this vivid memory of waking up one morning, and there’s A-Rod, waist-deep in the morning sun, doing stretches. I was like, ‘Who is this guy?’” Oliver joked, bringing laughter to the audience. It’s moments like these that remind us how unique and interesting celebrity interactions can be.
Oliver’s Relationship with A-Rod
Despite the past, Oliver revealed he never had any issues with A-Rod, who’s now engaged to Jennifer Lopez. In fact, the actor admitted he wasn’t the typical protective older brother. “Kate was always a strong, independent woman, so I never felt the need to intervene,” Oliver explained. But Kate had a different perspective.
“He’s basically saying he never had my back, but that’s not true,” Kate laughed. “He’s actually helped me through some tough times when my heart was broken. We may have different takes on things, but we’re family, and that’s what matters most.”
Kate’s Current Love Life
Currently, Kate is dating Danny Fujikawa, and they share a one-year-old daughter, Rani Rose. When asked if she ever approved of any of Oliver’s girlfriends, Kate had some funny stories to share. “There was one girlfriend who drove me nuts because she was always asking him to do things, like, ‘Can you get me something from downstairs?’ I was like, ‘Oh, no way.’”
But Kate is nothing if not accepting. “We’re a very freewheeling family. We accept whoever is in each other’s lives at any given moment. It’s all about love and support,” she concluded with a smile.
