Jackman asked her if she believes her kids think she's cool, to which she replied, "I think my kids do think I'm cool."

"I feel like they're gonna kill me for saying this, but, like, Bing, my 14-year-old, and that's like the hard age, you know, they all come to our house. They like to be at our house. That's a good sign if they want to come hang with you," Hudson shared.

Hudson went on to note that her teenage son's friends not only come around but also love coming down to the kitchen to chat with her.

"If they want to come hang with you, then you know. Bing's friends will come down in the morning and sit with me and talk with me while I'm making them breakfast and stuff. I think they like me," she said.

The "Bride Wars" actress shares her three children with three different men: son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson, son Bingham with ex-fiancé Matt Bellamy, and daughter Rani with fiancé Danny Fujikawa.

The "Almost Famous" actress then added that she encourages them to "speak their minds" and feel like she's "super grounded."

"Like, I love my domestic life. I'm a homebody. I love being home. It's my happy place with my family," she said.

"I love when they come out and make fun of me and start making fun of me. Ryder's really good at it now that he's an adult. He loves coming after me," Hudson added.

Hudson continued, "I like to play the long game and just do different things, so for me it was like I wasn't getting the roles that I wanted to be playing. The ones that I did, I would make some hard decisions, and if it took me away for too long, I just couldn't do it because I had to be with my kids, and I wanted to make sure that I was the center of my kids' universe and that we had one unit."

The "Shell" actress added that it includes her "going to my exes' tours and being very consciously uncoupled with everybody, and so that was my priority."
