Kate Hudson is one happy mama. The actress and her boyfriend, Danny Fujikawa, welcomed daughter Rani Rose Hudson-Fujikawa on Wednesday. Hudson and Fujikawa shared the happy news on Instagram, where they explained the inspiration behind the newborn’s name. “We have decided to name our daughter Rani (pronounced Ronnie), after her grandfather, Ron Fujikawa,” Hudson explains. “Ron was the most special man who we all miss dearly. To name her after him is an honor.” She added, “Everyone is doing well and happy as can be. Our family thanks you for all the love and blessings that have been sent our way and we send ours right back.” In April, the pair happily announced they were having a daughter by sharing a video of the baby’s gender reveal. At the time, Kate told her followers all about the “most sick first trimester” she endured and how difficult it was to keep her pregnancy a secret, but said, “my kids, Danny, myself and the entire family are crazy excited!” After revealing the exciting news, the actress returned to social media to share many pics of her growing baby bump. The new addition to the family comes over a year after the two started dating, despite being friends for well over a decade. They were introduced to one another by Kate’s best friends Sara Fosterand Erin Foster, who happen to be Danny’s step-sisters. Published in Daily Times, September 5th 2018.
