Story summary

Comedian Dax Shepard admitted during an event that he attempted to woo actress Katherine Hudson, now known as Kate Hudson, while she was still married to fellow actor Chris Robinson in the early 2000s. This admission came after Shepard recounted the story to guests Sara and Erin Foster at a gathering. He stated that despite her being with Robinson at a poker game hosted by her brother Oliver Hudson, he felt compelled to pursue her due to his admiration for her beauty and talent, particularly from her role in "Almost Famous."

Shepard claimed he made another attempt after Hudson's marriage to Robinson ended in 2006. The two began dating shortly thereafter at a mutual friend’s dinner party in Malibu and were together every day afterward. Their relationship lasted about two months before they “got serious fast,” Shepard noted, describing the period as one filled with constant intimacy.

Hudson was married to Robinson from 2000 until their separation in 2006, during which time they had a son named Ryder, now 22.
