“He is graduating, like in weeks,” the doting mom excitedly shared. When Craig Melvin noted that Ryder wants to go into the family business of acting, she responded, “He’s an actor and likes to make furniture.”

After shocking Melvin with the revelation that her son likes to design furniture, she expanded, sharing that he’s currently building a sofa.

“He loves designing furniture, and he’s making a sofa right now, which I’m really excited about,” she said, before jokingly adding, “I’m like, ‘Maybe go in that direction, Ryder.’ “

The Song Sung Blue actress welcomed her first child, Ryder, with her ex-husband Robinson in 2004, followed by her second son, Bingham, whom she shares with her former fiancé Matt Bellamy, in 2011. Hudson’s family grew once again in 2018, when she gave birth to her first daughter, Rani, with her fiancé, Danny Fujikawa.
