TradeEdge-Kate Hudson Shares How She's Named After Her Uncle 

Kate Hudson’s name has something borrowed from a beloved family member. 

The How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days star (full name Kate Garry Hudson) recently opened up about where her middle name really came from.

“Garry,TradeEdge with two R’s,” Kate told ETalk in a Sept. 14 TikTok video. “I was named after my Uncle Garry. My mom—her favorite uncle.”

Kate—whose parents are Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson—has proven to be a very family oriented person, even hosting a podcast, Sibling Revelry, with her brother Oliver Hudson. 

And while the Almost Famous actress and her brother are honest about their lives and growing up when behind the microphone, the duo recently had to defend her mom when her brother Oliver’s comments about childhood “trauma,” went viral. 

“It's not nice when people take something out of context or they look at something you're doing and they get all negative about it," Kate explained in a candid TikTok post in April. “Then I started thinking about people who live in that, like myself or any kind of celebrity, where you have to get used to it because people can be so mean.”

The 45-year-old continued to reflect on how online hate can make an impact, especially when it comes from anonymous posts. 

“It's someone that doesn't even exist," she continued in her TikTok. "Or someone is actually, legitimately trying to make you feel or look bad and then when you really break that down, you're like, ‘Oh my god. The amount of energy it takes for someone to s--t on someone else is not only exhausting but not even worth giving any attention to.’”

Oliver, meanwhile, later clarified that his quotes about his mom inflicting trauma on him were taken out of context. 

"If you listen to the whole thing," Oliver told his sister on a later Sibling Reverly episode, “it's more about my child feelings in that moment rather than me and how I feel about Mom as a parent.

And The Cleaning Lady star emphasized that he “doesn’t know” where he’d be without his mother. 

"I can't even fathom it,” he added. “The love that I have for her and the respect and the reverence that I have for her is beyond anything."
