Personal
Hudson is married to the former Kim Bruner, whom he met while a student at Auburn. The couple has two daughters, Kennedie and Tess, and one son, Kade, and currently live just south of Atlanta in Peachtree City, Georgia.
On April 29, 2007, both Hudson's grandmother and St.Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Josh Hancock, his college teammate at Auburn, died. He drew his grandmother's initials on the pitcher's mound before his next start, and wore them on his spikes. He also sewed Hancock's initials (JH) on his jersey. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 2 earned runs against the Philadelphia Phillies. He did not get a decision, but the Braves ultimately won, 5–2.
Hudson is called 'Huddy' by his fellow Atlanta Braves teammates. He is considered to be one of the funnier guys on the team, alongside former Auburn teammate and current Braves back-up catcher, David Ross.
