Hudson is survived by his wife, Carlie, who recently expressed her gratitude for her husband's support as she underwent a surgery to remove a tumor. "I just want to give a shout-out to my amazing husband! Yesterday I had surgery to remove a tumor from one of my breasts and he was and has been so patient throughout this whole process," she wrote on Instagram just last week.
Carlie also previously opened up about the couple's difficult fertility journey, sharing with her Instagram followers that they were unable to have kids naturally and were instead turning to IVF.
"I'm only sharing this because it needs to be normalized and more talked about," she explained at the time. "So many women are probably feeling the pain and sadness that I am. So if you ever need to talk, I'm here. For absolutely anything! I'm here. We're both here."
