Dax Shepard is looking back at his whirlwind 2007 romance with Kate Hudson, and he’s sharing details he’s only hinted at before. On the October 28 episode of his“Armchair Expert”podcast, Shepard told guests Sara and Erin Foster that he met Hudson through her brother, Oliver Hudson, and that the friendship turned romantic after her 2006 split from Chris Robinson. From that first night, he said, they were“together every single day.”
Shepard didn’t hold back on the self-deprecating details either. He joked that he gave Hudson“111 percent of any charm I have,”but also admitted he felt“less than”around her during that time, since she was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. The two previously discussed the relationship on his podcast in 2019, when both described it as fast and fun but acknowledged they were in different places in life.
These days, Shepard is married to Kristen Bell, and Hudson is engaged to Danny Fujikawa, so it’s all water under the bridge. Still, the story is a fun peek at celebrity dating and the insecurity that can come with mismatched fame levels.
What’s the shortest romance you’ve ever had that you still think about? Let us know in the comments.
