Kate Hudson is a girl who loves her brother.

That much was clear on Monday, when she posted a sweet tribute to her brother for his 49th birthday. Sharing rare photos together, Hudson posted a celebratory message that said, “Happy 49th to my brother — the poet laureate of inappropriate jokes, the crown prince of chaos, and somehow also the most devoted dad and fiercely loyal friend. As a kid, he was basically my tormentor-in-chief (think 'worst brother alive' levels), but somewhere between stolen toys and stolen girlfriends, he transformed into my best friend, my ride-or-die, and my favorite person to laugh until it hurts with.”
