Kate Hudson has
an enviably close bond With her mother,
Goldie Hawn, and Goldie's
longtime partner, Kurt Russell, but her
Relationship With her biological father has always been much more strained. In June 2015, the actress's biological father, musician Bill Hudson, slammed her and her brother, Oliver, in
a harsh statement to the DailyMail after Oliver criticized him
With an Instagram post on
Father's Day.
"I say to them **w, 'I set you free.' I had five birth children and I **w consider myself a father of three," Bill said.
"I ** longer recognize Oliver and
Kate as my own... [Oliver] is dead to me **w. As is Kate."

Despite his words,
Kate is trying her best to move forward, which
she opened up about during an appearance on
The Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM Wednesday morning.
"I think forgiveness in any aspect is something that is complex," she told the radio show host. "It is the greatest tool to be able to separate that attachment. So for me, I recognize whatever those issues are is something he has to live with. That must be painful for him and I
Forgive him."
Kate **ted that her mother "never spoke poorly" of Bill, and also reflected on what it was like to grow up
With Kurt as her father figure instead. "The trust I got from [Kurt] in terms of his dependability was priceless for me. I think when you grow up
With parents like I did, competitiveness in this world is like a '**, **,'" she said. "You get it right away. Kurt was great
With that stuff when we were growing up. He is so honest, so brutally honest. I love him so much; he is just a great guy. He is an original. He doesn't buy into things."
Kate recently attended the Toronto International Film Festival
with Kurt by her side, after
telling Ellen DeGeneres that working
With him on their new film,
Deepwater Horizon, was "beautifully wistful."
