“When Peyton Manning found his way to the Broncos, our whole family was like aaaah!'" – Kate Hudson opened up on Denver fandom in 2016
Football has its own way of bringing people together, making every win by the team feel personal. Actress and Denver Broncos fan Kate Hudson is no exception. The 'Bride Wars' star is known to be an NFL fan, often voicing her views on the league.
The team she supports, however, will always be the Broncos.
So much so that she more or less keeps up with their activities throughout the season. Of course, as a Broncos fan, one cannot overlook or forget Peyton Manning's move to Denver in 2012.
Apparently, Hudson's entire family celebrated when Manning started playing for the Broncos. Kate Hudson said in an interview:
"I'm a big Peyton Manning fan, and I grew up in Colorado. So when Peyton Manning found his way [to] the Broncos, our whole family was like aaaah!'"
This interview with TODAY dates back to 2016, when Hudson was promoting 'Kung Fu Panda 3'. Not only did she speak of the Broncos, but also showed up with a temporary tattoo on her hand that spelled out the team's name.
Manning, who played with the Indianapolis Colts for most of his career, was with the Broncos from 2012 to 2015. He retired with the Broncos in 2016, earning himself his second Super Bowl win.
Kate Hudson attended the Super Bowl last season
Kate Hudson's love for the game did not start and end with the Denver Broncos. The 43-year-old attended the Super Bowl this year, enjoying a mother-son moment with her son at the Los Angeles Rams vs Cincinnati Bengals game.
"Well that was an absolute blast!" Hudson wrote.
The family was apparently cheering on the winning side as the Rams won the game 23-20.
However, Hudson's son Ryder has been known to support the Cincinnati Bengals. In a 2016 Broncos-Bengals game, Ryder was supporting the Bengals, and not the Broncos like his mother.
Hudson sported a Broncos jersey and headband, while her son was in a Bengals jersey. It's safe to say that she was not expecting her son to support the opposition. In fact, she claimed she was not the one to buy him his jersey.
"How on Earth did he become a Bengals fan," Hudson wrote. "WTF I know I DID NOT purchase these items for him!!!"
Kate Hudson, of course, has taken to sharing and appreciating some important events in the NFL.
Just last year, the 'Marshall' actress applauded the NFL for having a female ref at the Super Bowl, referring to the moment as long overdue.
