Jennifer Hudson has opened up about discovering that her father had 27 children and her desire to meet all of them. The actor, 42, shared this revelation on a podcast, where she talked about her family life. Talking about siblings, host Michele Norris said, “Your father had a big personality. You and your siblings found him at some point and discovered you had many more siblings?”
“Yes, a lot of us. Apparently, he had 27 children,” Hudson shared. A shocked Norris noted, “That’s a lot of children,” before Hudson explained that she had never met them all, “that’s what we were always told.” The actor said that when she found out about her siblings at 16, she wanted to delve deeper into her family. “It was my dream to have all of us at a grand Thanksgiving or Christmas table, where we all sit and eat together —that was my goal at 16,” she explained.
