Oliver Hudson is making it clear who deserves a Happy Father's Day wish in his family.

Just three days after sharing a not-so-nice tribute to his biological dad Bill Hudson, the Rules of Engagement alum took to Instagram Wednesday with a special (and nicer) message for his true father figure.

"Happy Father's Day Pa…" he wrote on social media while posing with Kurt Russell who raised him for a majority of his life. "#NewOrleans #Felixs."

Some may think this is just your typical belated Father's Day shout out. But if you've been following Oliver's Instagram, you know this has a bit more meaning.

Back on Sunday, the 38-year-old shared a childhood picture of himself with little sister Kate Hudson and his biological father.

But instead of a heartfelt, loving message, Oliver let the caption do all the talking. "Happy abandonment day... @katehudson," he wrote alongside the throwback photo. Yikes! 

Both Oliver and Kate have spoken out in past interviews about Bill's presence (or lack thereof) in their lives. In fact, it's Goldie Hawn's longtime partner of more than 30 years who has served as the primary father figure.

[Bill] doesn't know me from a hole in the wall. But I don't care," Kate told Vanity Fair back in 2000. "I have a dad [Russell]…I'm glad I had a dad who was there on my birthday."

And after all of these years, their bond is still incredibly close.  Just take a look at the recent message the A-list actress wrote on Instagram.

"Pa, just simply….Thank you," Kate captioned in honor of Kurt. "Happy Father's Day. I love you to the moon and back. #HappyFathersDay."
