For Goldie Hawn’s family, a new chapter has begun, and it has come with plenty of emotion. Goldie’s eldest son, actor Oliver Hudson, and his wife Erinn Hudson are experiencing a milestone familiar to many parents as their firstborn, Wilder, has left the family home to begin college.
Oliver and Erinn are proud parents to three children: sons Wilder, 19, and Bodhi, 16, and daughter Rio, 13. With their eldest now heading off to college, the family is adjusting to having one less person around the dinner table.

She wrote on Instagram: “This little guy turned 19 yesterday and we moved him into college last week. Lots of tears not gonna lie wow….. but so happy and proud and excited for you Wildman!! Couldn't love you more and counting the days til I can hug you and annoy you again.”
