Oliver Hudson is spilling the tea on his past mistakes! In a recent episode of his podcast “Sibling Revelry,” the actor opened up about a period of infidelity before his marriage to wife Erinn Bartlett.
A Rough Patch Before the “I Dos”: Hudson admitted to feeling overwhelmed after getting engaged to Erinn in 2004. He described a period of emotional turmoil that led him to cheat. “I was unfaithful, and I was cheating, and I was crazy,” he confessed.
Honesty Wins (Eventually): While Oliver thankfully spared Erinn the humiliation of being “caught,” his conscience wouldn’t let him walk down the aisle with a secret this big. “I told her everything because I couldn’t live with myself,” he revealed.
Finding Forgiveness and Building a Family: Thankfully, Erinn found it in her heart to forgive Oliver. They tied the knot in 2006 and have since welcomed three beautiful children together.
No Regrets, But Lessons Learned: Oliver doesn’t shy away from taking responsibility for his actions. However, he emphasizes the importance of personal growth. “I don’t have many regrets…because if I didn’t [make those choices], I wouldn’t be the person I am today,” he reflects.
Therapy, Not Shame: Oliver credits therapy and open communication with Erinn for helping them navigate this difficult chapter and emerge stronger as a couple.
A Shoutout to Mom: Oliver also acknowledges his famous mom, Goldie Hawn, for her guidance during this challenging time. “She played a big part” in helping him move forward with a healthy perspective.
Looking Back with Compassion: While Oliver doesn’t condone his past actions, he avoids dwelling on self-loathing. “I regret causing pain. I don’t want to cause anyone any pain,” he clarifies.
Embracing Growth: Oliver’s honesty and willingness to learn from his mistakes resonate with his podcast co-host Robyn Lively, who commends him for his personal evolution.
