Hudson played in the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event but went broke on the very first hand losing to 2003 runner-up Sam Farha who had a better Full House than Hudson. After their parents divorced in 1980 he and his sister actress Kate Hudson were raised in Colorado by their mother and the mother's boyfriend/actor Kurt Russell. He has four half-siblings: Emily and Zachary from his biological father's marriage to actress Cindy Williams; Lalania from another of his father's relationships in 2006; and Wyatt from his mother's relationship with Kurt Russell.
