The actress opens up about love, family, and the journey with her fiancé in an intimate message that traces their relationship’s sweet beginnings and hopes for the future.
Kate Hudson is celebrating the love of her life in the most tender way. On June 10, the Running Point star marked fiancé Danny Fujikawa’s 39th birthday with a rare and intimate photo shared on Instagram—showcasing their deep connection and her heartfelt admiration.
“I really dig this human ✨ My Gemini Hurricane, may this last year of your thirties be a perfect jumping board for the best decade to come! Love you so ❤️ Happy Birthday Dan Man ❤️,” Hudson, 46, captioned the image of the couple embracing. In the candid moment, Hudson wraps her arms around Fujikawa from behind, while he gently holds a brown hat to his chest—both of them radiating warmth and serenity.
Fujikawa, a musician with the Los Angeles-based band Chief, was flooded with birthday wishes from fans and friends in the comments. “Happy Birthday Danny!!! We love you!” one follower wrote. Others chimed in with messages celebrating his role as a devoted father and partner.
Their story spans more than a decade. The couple first met when Hudson was just 23 and expecting her first child, Ryder Russell Robinson, from her previous marriage to musician Chris Robinson. Introduced by mutual friends—who also happen to be Fujikawa’s stepsisters—their friendship evolved into love years later.
In a touching 2017 Instagram post, Hudson recalled their first date. “Danny took me on a hike… and what I thought was just a hike with a family friend turned very quickly into an unexpected first date,” she wrote. “No moves were made… but as a kiss on this bridge would have been nice, the kiss a year later was so much sweeter.”
Hudson and Fujikawa now share a 6-year-old daughter, Rani, whom they co-parent along with Hudson’s sons—Ryder, 21, and Bingham, 13, from previous relationships. Speaking candidly in various interviews, Hudson has opened up about the complexities and joys of raising a blended family. “My priority is that we’re one unit,” she said, emphasizing unity, love, and support as her guiding values.
She’s also hinted at the possibility of expanding their family. “I don’t know if I’m done,” she admitted during a 2020 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, echoing similar thoughts in a 2022 Byrdie interview: “I’ve been having children my entire adult life… and I don’t even know if I’m done yet.”
In a world where Hollywood relationships often burn bright and fade fast, Hudson and Fujikawa’s enduring love story feels refreshingly grounded. With their shared history, artistic passions, and growing family, Kate’s birthday message feels less like a caption—and more like a promise for many beautiful decades to come.
