In this throwback episode of Call Her Daddy, uploaded again on May 23, 2025, while Kate was discussing her early career and marriage to Chris, the host asked her for advice for women who still have love for their exes after a breakup. Cooper further noted that Kate seemed to still have a lot of love for Chris, even after their marriage ended. To this, Kate replied,
"I guess it's just an attachment thing... people suffer because they've sort of put such an expectation on what something's supposed to look like versus my choice through life is... being more open... I believe you love, you know, someone, if you love them once, you really love them in some way forever... even if you can't stand them."
She further added,
"If you really did, if you really loved them, if it was pure, it wasn't like coming from some place unhealthy, you'll love them through anything, you know, maybe not romantically, but that will always, always be there. And I do believe that like it shifts, just like friendships shift."
Kate Hudson also noted that accountability is important in an ending relationship since there are two people involved, so one cannot just "point out" the other person for their situation.
