Kate Hudsonisn’t putting any gender labels on littleRani Rose.
The 39-year-old actressand WW ambassadorrevealed in a recent interview withAOLthat she embraces a “genderless approach” to parenting 3-month-old Rani and her two older brothers from Hudson’s previous relationships:Bingham Hawn, 7½, andRyder Russell, 15.
“[Having a daughter] doesn’t really change my approach, but there’s definitely a difference,” she told the outlet. “I think you just raise your kids individually regardless —like a genderless [approach]. We still don’t know what she’s going to identify as.”
“I will say that, right now, she is incredibly feminine in her energy, her sounds and her way,” Hudson explained. “It’svery different from the boys, and it’s really fun to actually want to buy kids’ clothes.”

“With the boys it was just onesies … actually, I did pretty good with the boys,” she clarified with a laugh. “But with her it’s a whole other ball game. There’s some stuff that I’m like, ‘I can’t do that to her, because it’s so over-the-top.’ ”
Hudson’s own upbringing — as the only girl in a group of brothers, includingOliver HudsonandWyatt Russell— helped her be able to see the fluidity of gender roles.
“I was a tomboy in a spinning dress,” she shared. “My middle brother [Boston Russell], who is closest to me in age, was basically my sister because I put makeup on him all the time, and I’d dress him up and he loved it.”
“But growing up as a girl with all boys, you end up with a thick skin. You really do,” saidtheAlmost Famousactress. “People say, ‘Oh, your brothers must’ve really protected you.’ And I’m like, ‘They threw me right into the fire!’ ”
While Hudson is committed to raising her three children in a gender-neutral environment,Kurt Russellpreviously shared that herdemeanor has shifted a bitwhen compared to how she parented her sons as babies.
“She’s a little different with the little girl, I think at this stage, than I remember her being with her boys [at this age],” theGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2star told PEOPLE in November of longtime loveGoldie Hawn‘s daughter.
“We’re really gladthat she got [a daughter] andhad an opportunity to have her,” Russell continued, adding of Hudson and boyfriendDanny Fujikawa, “We’re proud of Danny and the relationship that grew between Kate and Danny, the result being Rani Rose.”
