The rocker, 59, hinted that Ryder, 22, plans to follow in his mom’s footsteps moderately than his dad’s after graduating from college. (Robinson is the lead singer of The Black Crowes.)
“He’s his own young man, so there’s that. Very pleased with him. I imagine he’s going to lean slightly more towards the handsome leading man time in his life and never a lot the freaky, gratuitous, bohemian rock-and-roll a part of his other family,” Robinson quipped in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars viewing party in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 15.
He added, “There’s plenty of life ahead of him. Just very pleased with him.”

Hudson previously opened up about her relationship with Robinson during a 2024 interview on The Howard Stern Show, recalling that she was just 21 after they wed.
“My relationship with Chris was so beautiful and there was a lot love there, but I actually did grow out of it, and it was a really hard breakup,” Hudson told Howard Stern. “That was not a simple breakup. I used to be very in love with him, however it wasn’t going to be the remainder of my life.”
“I used to be like a baby,” Hudson continued. “When my life really began to essentially take off and I desired to go in several directions, we literally just weren’t in the identical space to maintain going.”
Hudson described her ex-husband as “sensible” and “really funny” but said that he desired to live “as a nomad and an artist,” which “may be hard for relationships.”
That very same yr, Robinson acknowledged in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald that his marriage to Hudson “was over before our son Ryder was 2 years old.”
“I’m not afraid of the realities that befall all of us when things go improper, and I take plenty of pride in being responsible as a parent,” he said.
