She’s here! Kate Hudson took to Instagram on Wednesday, October 3, to announce the arrival of her daughter with boyfriend Danny Fujikawa.

The couple welcomed Rani Rose Hudson Fujikawa on Tuesday, October 2.

“We have decided to name our daughter Rani (pronounced Ronnie) after her grandfather, Ron Fujikawa. Ron was the most special man who we all miss dearly. To name her after him is an honor,” Hudson shared in a post captioned “She’s here.”
