Kate is also mom to son Bingham, 12, whom she shares with ex-fiance Matt Bellamy, and daughter Rani, five, with fiance Danny Fujikawa.
Kate explained more about her song Live Forever on her Instagram page, writing: ‘Our babies leave us eventually and we have to watch them go take on the world. Some of us were so young that we were trying to figure out who we were simultaneously.
‘That’s this song for me. My love letter to parents and the kids waving goodbye. And all those young mamas out there doing the best they can and trying to do some growing up themselves.
‘You got this. This love will always Live Forever,’ she concluded.
The video starts off with the word ‘play’, as it shows Ryder and Kate in the hospital – moments after she gave birth to him.
He is pictured right after she gave birth on January 7, 2014 – and Kate in the hospital bed with her mom Goldie Hawn and stepdad Kurt Russell.

Kate starts off the song: ‘It was you and me forever. Can you share a little time if you can I’ll give you mind. Story of my life and lover. He was everything to me and soon there will be three….’
Kate sings portions of the song on camera while standing outside, wearing a white button up with a vest on top.
