"Love his name! Like Boone, NC!" a commenter posted. Coincidentally, the baby's mother, Meredith, was born in North Carolina.

Little Boone is not the only one in the family with a unique name. His 2-year-old brother, the firstborn in the family, is named Buddy Prine Russell.

"It's incredible," said Wyatt about fatherhood in an interview, after Buddy was born. "Biologically, I think it does something to your brain where you just erase half your life before you've lived there," he explains. "And now it's about him and your family and trying to balance everything, and time and new, amazing problems, amazing issues to have."

Kurt Russell, a grandpa of eight, affectionately known as "Gogi'' by his grandchildren, also shared his thoughts on their growing family.

"He's awesome, 'cause he can do all of the hard sorts of lessons that, like, sometimes I don't want to have to do," Wyatt gushed about his dad in an interview.

Goldie and Kurt are grandparents to Kate Hudson's kids, Ryder, Bingham, and Rani; Oliver Hudson's children, Wilder, Bojdi, and Rio; and Wyatt's two boys.

Goldie is so dedicated to being a grandmother that she admitted to no longer giving her children advice. Instead, she's moved on to teaching her grandchildren by example.

"You've got to work for a living, stay compassionate, and stay realistic," she said. "I'm passing that on because that was what my father taught me: stay in reality."

Meredith Hagner, who married Kurt Russell in 2019, previously shared a pregnancy photo on Instagram with an emotional caption on motherhood. Fans praised her for her outlook and her relatable message.
