With Kate Hudson’s talent, success, and stunningly good looks, it was a surprise when she married grungy rocker Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes nearly six years ago.

When the couple announced their separation in August, it was news, but it was definitely not as shocking as Robinson filing for divorce from Hudson on Friday. One would have expected it to be the other way around.

Robinson cited irreconcilable differences in the Superior Court filing, and seeks shared custody of he and his wife’s song, two-year-old Ryder Russell Robinson.

Hudson, 27, is the daughter of Goldie Hawn. She was nominated for an Oscar in her supporting role as Penny Lane in 2000’s “Almost Famous.”

Robinson, 39, fronts the Black Crowes. They have a new studio album due next year.

Actress Kate Hudson and her husband, singer Chris Robinsion, are separating after six years of marriage.

Reuters reports that Hudson’s pulicist, Brad Cafarelli, confirmed the news but released no other details. A spokesperson for Robinson said he had no comment on the report.

Hudson and Robinson married on New Year’s Eve in 2000. They have one child together, 2-year-old son Ryder.

The 27-year-old actress is the daughter of fellow Hollywood star Goldie Hawn. Her film credits include 2000’s “Almost Famous, and more recently, this year’s “You, Me and Dupree.”

Robinson, 29, is the singer for rock band The Black Crowes, whose hits include “Hard to Handle” and “She Talks to Angels.”
