EGOT winner Jennifer Hudson has opened up about discovering that her father had 27 children and her desire to meet all of them.

The 42-year-old shared this revelation on the finale episode of the 'Your Mama바카라™s Kitchen: Conversations from the Heart of the Home' podcast this week, where she talked about her family life. Talking about siblings, host Michele Norris said: 바카라œYour father had a big personality. You and your siblings found him at some point and discovered you had many more siblings?바카라 바카라œYes, a lot of us. Apparently, he had 27 children,바카라 Hudson shared.

A shocked Norris noted, 바카라œThat바카라™s a lot of children,바카라 before Hudson explained that she had never met them all, "that's what we were always told." The EGOT winner said that when she found out about her siblings at 16, she wanted to delve deeper into her family, reports people.com. 바카라œIt was my dream to have all of us at a grand Thanksgiving or Christmas table, and we all sit and eat together -- that was my goal at 16,바카라 she explained.

Hudson said that she eventually met six or seven of these siblings, in addition to those she grew up with, Jason and Julia. 바카라œWe found quite a few of us. And I'm the youngest of all of them,바카라 she said. As for them finding out about her, Hudson said it was her father바카라™s side of the family that helped unite the siblings she ended up meeting. 바카라œWhen my grandma on his side passed, my siblings over there were like, 바카라˜Y바카라™all got a sister that can really sing, you should meet her,바카라™바카라 she said. 바카라œAnd eventually we all came together.바카라
