Since David Jr., 11, joined his parents, he has been nothing short of a delight in their lives. Once talking about motherhood and sharing tiny details about the soon-to-be teenager, Hudson mentioned that he already had some of her traits.

She stated that right from when he was a toddler, David Jr. showed signs of his interest in music. The "Dreamgirls" actress, however, noted that she wanted to make sure he was doing what he loved and not what she probably projected.

In the end, the pair were granted joint custody of their son with a gag order in place.
