Kate Hudson’s answer is “the freedom.” In a Bustle profile, she added that sex “isn’t supposed to be pretty” and said getting older can make it more fun—a personal perspective, not a rule about everyone’s experience.
What did Kate Hudson say?
“The best part about sex in your 40s, honestly, is the freedom,” Hudson told Bustle. She continued: “Sex isn’t supposed to be pretty. When you get older you kind of have more fun with that.”
Where did the comment come from?
Hudson made the remarks in a Bustle profile about her work, parenting and upbringing while promoting the comedy series Running Point. The Independent followed up on February 26, 2025, and identified the Bustle interview as the source of the comments: The Independent’s report.
What her answer does—and does not—mean
Hudson was describing her own outlook: freedom from the expectation that sex has to look polished or “pretty,” and more room to enjoy it. Her comments are not a statistic, medical conclusion or claim that aging changes sexual experience the same way for everyone.
