For PEOPLE's 2020 Beautiful Issue last year, Hudson spoke about being raised by her mom Hawn and what she hoped to pass down to Rani.

"My mom gave me the floor to be able to feel confident enough to go out and feel like my life could be my own," she said at the time. "Mom was my greatest cheerleader. And it just made me think about Rani … going, 'I hope I give her that kind of confidence,' you know?"

Hudson added, "Mom always said to me, 'Don't you ever let a man dim your light.' So I've never defined myself through the way a man sees me, but I can define myself in the unit that we can create together. That is what Mom gave to me."

The Oscar nominee shares daughter Rani with fiancé Danny Fujikawa, son Ryder Russell, 17, with ex-husband Chris Robinson, and son Bingham "Bing" Hawn, 10, with ex-fiancé Matt Bellamy.

For Mother's Day this year, Hudson shared a sweet photo cuddled in bed with her children and gave a shoutout to Hawn for inspiring her as she raises them.

"I do it all for my kids and their future 🌼," Hudson began her post in May. "And I am lucky to have had the foundation of that inspired by my own mother @goldiehawn."

"To Moms everywhere HAPPY MOTHERS DAY. And always know, if it feels like hard work it's definitely GOOD work! Cause raising the next generation should never be easy. Love to all," the Fabletics co-founder added.

Hawn later wrote on her own Instgram that Hudson is "the best daughter and the most attentive caring loving mother."
