Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy are in London currently, where Kate is promoting her new film, A Little Bit of Heaven. She’s with her mom and step dad too, who seem to be really supportive of Kate’s life and choices, which is rather nice, in my opinion. Anyway, Kate was on the Graham Norton show last night, and she slammed the rumors of an engagement or shotgun marriage to Matt. Kate also said she thinks she’s having a girl… which I kind of hope for her too:

She may be pregnant with Matt Bellamy’s baby, but Kate Hudson has laughed off speculation the couple are planning to wed. The actress dined in London last night with rocker boyfriend, actress mother Goldie Hawn and stepfather Kurt Russell after filming an appearance for the Graham Norton Show. After Hudson’s TV appearance, the expectant blonde joined the trio at exclusive Knightsbridge restaurant Zuma for a late dinner. Kate, 31, who is about four months pregnant with the Muse singer’s child, was still keeping any trace of a bump under wraps as she arrived at the restaurant.

Speaking about her pregnancy on Friday’s episode of the BBC chat show, Hudson enthused: ‘I’m just starting to pop.’

‘We have a couple of names but we’re not telling anyone. People tell you so much (about being pregnant) it drives me nuts. It feels like a girl, but I don’t know. Ryder (my son) thinks it’s a girl.’

But while the couple are starting a family together, Hudson insisted they weren’t rushing down the aisle. She explained: ‘No, no, not that I know of! I don’t like putting that sort of pressure on it and I don’t feel it necessary to get married. I am 31. I already have one child and have had one divorce so it is not necessarily the golden ticket. I just want to be happy.’

Hawn and long-term partner Russell has been forging a friendship with their daughter’s latest love since the pair started dating in April.

Earlier in the week Goldie – who was a presenter at the British Comedy Awards on Saturday night – said she was ‘excited’ about her daughter’s pregnancy, telling Us Magazine that she was looking forward to becoming a grandmother again.

‘You know, we’re just all very happy… happy for them both. What’s more to say?,’ she said.

Kurt, meanwhile, revealed he is hoping Hudson, who already has a seven-year-old son Ryder with her ex-husband Chris Robinson, will have a daughter this time around.

‘It’s fun having babies once again,’ he told People magazine. ‘We just really like that. And it’s fun to watch them grow. It’s fun to see what they’re grasping. I think secretly we’re all hoping for a girl,’ he said.

Kate is in London to promote her new film, the romantic comedy A Little Bit Of Heaven, which is released on February 4. She stars in the film as a woman who discovers she is dying of cancer, but then meets the love of her life.

She has been dating Matt, 32, for eight months after meeting him at California’s Coachella music festival last April. The pair have been virtually inseparable ever since – despite living on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Kate introduced him to her mother and Kurt Russell three months into their relationship. The singer, who grew up in Teignmouth, Devon, admitted he was a nervous wreck before meeting the ‘in laws’.

I buy that Kate honestly doesn’t give a crap about being married. I think she’s come around to her mom’s way of thinking, which is that marriage doesn’t equal family, and it doesn’t equal happiness. Which is fine – I would think less of Kate if she was trying to force this knocked-up groupie situation with Bellamy into something that was all hearts and sparkles and marriage glitter (coughcoughNataliePortmancough). Also, who else is hoping Kate has a girl? I think she would LOVE to have a girl. I have my fingers crossed for her (I can’t help it, I like her!).
