This adorable childhood photo belongs to Oliver Hudson, now a successful actor — but behind his smile lies a family story filled with love, betrayal, and heartbreak.

In the mid-1970s, Goldie Hawn fell for musician Bill Hudson of The Hudson Brothers. Sparks flew, and they married in 1976, welcoming Oliver shortly after. But the joy was short-lived. Goldie didn’t believe in monogamy, which clashed with Bill’s desire for a traditional marriage. They divorced, and by 1983, Goldie had found lasting love with actor Kurt Russell.

Kurt raised Oliver and his sister Kate like his own. As the years passed, Bill drifted away. The kids began calling Kurt their true dad — a sentiment they’ve shared publicly.

In 2015, Oliver posted an old photo with the caption “Happy abandonment day,” igniting a bitter response from Bill, who claimed Goldie turned the kids against him. He later disowned them, telling the press, “They’re no longer part of my life.”

Meanwhile, Oliver and Kate continue to celebrate Kurt, calling him their real father. Despite the past, their bond with Kurt — as both a dad and grandfather — remains unbreakable.
