While making an appearance on The World's First Podcast, Hudson explained to host Erin Foster and Sara Foster her reasons for getting married to Robinson in her early twenties.

Defending her decision, the actress said it was not an "impulsive" one and that she was "madly in love" at the time.

"I went to New York, and I met Chris, and [when] I came home, I was like, 'Oh, I'm marrying this guy,'" the 43-year-old said per Page Six. "I was just like, 'You know what? I'm going to dive right into this.'"

The duo got married in 2000 and welcomed one son Ryder, before later splitting in 2007.

Recalling walking down the aisle at the time, Foster said she "chose not to second guess" and was too "in love" to "pretend" to wait for a different time in their future.

"I just jump in the deep end of everything I do," she said. "I just didn't think twice."

Elsewhere in the podcast, the "Knives Out" star shared that her ex-husband taught her "what it felt like to be unconditionally loved" and said that he was "so important" to her growth.

 "Chris, like, completely opened that floodgate for me, forever, no matter how complicated the relationship got at one point," the Golden Globe winner said. "The most important moment for me was meeting him and him allowing me to understand what that felt like."

After divorcing the Black Crowes rocker, 56, Hudson welcomed two other children, Bingham and Rani, with Matt Bellamy and Danny Fujikawa separately.

The actress is currently engaged to Fujikawa, with the pair having been together since 2016.

Hudson also discussed losing out on the female lead role in Luhrmann's 2001 film "Moulin Rouge!" The actress shared that she "really wanted" the part but ultimately lost it to Nicole Kidman.

 "I really wanted that part, and it was written at the time for a 19-year-old girl, I believe," she told her host, per The Hollywood Reporter.

"Then what happened was I was sort of in the auditioning process, and then Nicole [Kidman] had a relationship with Baz and wanted to do it. And so of course, it was like, 'I guess Nicole Kidman's doing it,'" she added.

In "Moulin Rogue!" Kidman starred in the film alongside Ewan McGregor, with the pair playing Satine and Christian, respectively. The film later earned eight Oscar nods at the 74th Academy Awards, eventually winning two awards for best art direction and best costume design.

Hudson went on to say that she grew a deep love for Luhrmann after she auditioned for the female lead role.

 "He's so wonderful. And energetically, I just felt very connected to the way he does things," she said. "So I was bummed out. Of course, totally got it, because it's Nicole. It couldn't be more different… I really wanted that part."

When Hudson was questioned about roles she turned down but later regretted, the actress explained why she couldn't name any.

"I try not to think of things like that," she added. "You know how that thing like, 'Oh, one decision could change the trajectory of your life?' I don't ever want to think of that way."
