Did you know that Kate Hudson’s film Something Borrowed comes out next week? Yeah. So… Kate showed up for her Today Show interview with a huge diamond engagement ring, and then she confirmed her engagement to her baby-daddy Matt Bellamy. Is anyone else kind of disappointed? I thought Kate wasn’t going to make anything official…?
First comes love, then baby, then marriage! Kate Hudson is engaged to Matthew Bellamy, her beau of nearly a year and father to her unborn child. Hudson, 32, made the surprise announcement on Wednesday’s Today Show.
Interviewing Hudson (who’s promoting her flick Something Borrowed), Matt Lauer noticed a giant square cut engagement ring on her finger.
Confirming her engagement for the first time, Hudson said, “I haven’t really announced it, I was waiting for someone to notice.”
Although mum on details, the Oscar-nominated star said the “very romantic” proposal went down about a week ago in NYC.
It will be the second marriage for Hudson, who divorced the Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson in 2006 after nearly six years. The amicable exes share son Ryder, 7.
Us Weekly was first to break news of Hudson’s second pregnancy back in January.Her marriage news comes as something of a surprise. Although she and Bellamy, 32, have been inseparable since her pregnancy announcement, she said in January, “I don’t feel it necessary to get married…I already have one child, and have had one divorce, so it is not necessarily the golden ticket. I just want to be happy.”
Bellamy gushed of his love while accepting a Grammy in February, thanking “my beautiful pregnant girlfriend” at the podium in L.A. The duo reportedly met years ago in Australia, but didn’t become romantic until late spring 2010 — finally stepping out together in June.

This kind of proves a theory I’ve been working on that if the girl plays it cool and acts like she doesn’t even care about the ring or making anything official, the guy is even more likely to propose. That’s what I think happened here – Kate said time and time again that she didn’t feel the need to get married just because she was having Bellamy’s baby, and the strategy worked beautifully. I do think this was probably Bellamy’s idea (in theory) – he seems like he’s utterly devoted to her, and he probably thinks he’s the one to get her to settle down. Poor bastard.
Here’s the video from Today, including a close-up of the ring:

I feel so sorry for the kids in these situations; Holidays and birthdays will never be easy, there will always be a parent or sibling missing, and I don’t for one minute think she won’t be pregnant with some other guys kid in a few years.
Matt Lauer introduced her as the “actress who’s been wowing audiences since Almost Famous”. If he’d substituted “wowing” with “disappointing, boring, or annoying” it would have been more appropriate – she hasn’t had a good movie since that one.
Whewww…I’m so glad she finally nailed one. It was exhausting reading about her jumping from man to man. It was embaressing as a woman to see someone so desperate and clingy.
@lucy, totally agree. which shows that she maybe CAN act, she’s just lazy and totally cool with getting paid for throwaway movies.
nice ring.
he’s goofy looking. muse is all right, but they’re not the music genius some people make them out to be.
i noticed that the new trailers for “something borrowed” don’t show kate at all. hmmm.
I hope she settles down and this one sticks, for both of her children’s sake. No child needs to be exposed to mommy’s Revolving Door of Dong. (Same applies to daddy’s Revolving Door of Snatch.)
I truly hope they are happy, but Hollyweird has shown that those who become engaged after a pregnancy rarely get married.
I love her. She looks so genuine and sweet! 🙂
Congrats Kate! Which I genuinely mean, but now seems like a perfect time to take 8-10 years out to really sit back and enjoy your new family – for, on the subject of her film career, I’m in complete agreement with Lucy2.
The original celebuspawn. Love her mother, the Kate and Mathew Mac movies are just about as painful as it gets. Anyone remember “How to ruin your career in ten days?”
I wish them nothing but the best and hope it works out well, but can anyone else smell the impending divorce coming a few years down the road?
Matt doesn’t deserve her =(
Ugh. I can’t stand this woman. This relationship won’t last. I’ll give it 2 years (and I’m being generous here).
Step right up here for failed marriage number two. She might as well get married. What the hell else has she got going on?
good luck to them.
Gorgeous ring.
And there is still no need to make it legal. She got lucky when she divorce Chris. Without a huge public drama and fighting over cash.
That won’t happen twice.
Another pre-divorce ceremony for Kate!
Seriously, why do celebrities even bother?
Why bother? I agree with most of the commenters here. She will be on to the next one popping out another kid with in 4 years. Im calling it.
omg my mom and a friend both love how to lose a guy in ten days. As in,they own it and watch it for fun time and again….
lol
it actually was not the worst of the lot, as far as kate h movies go….
it annoys me how she keeps getting work, b/c it’s purely thru nepotism.
and i have nothing against a fun/decent rom-com. I dont think by definition they are unworthy as a ‘genre’, like some people seem to think…but lately, none of them are romantic or comedic….esp. kate h’s.
i used to find her fun and cute; now she is desparate and annoying to me….not impressed.
Unfortunately, I don’t think this will last either.
It’s the other way ’round….Kate does not deserve someone as nice as Matt. She has taken advantage of his good graces and will use him up.
Bless her heart, Kate sure has a fetish for ugly guys! Could he BE any less attractive? WOW.
I saw this this morning, and Kaiser – yes, I felt disappointment when she announced the engagement. Of course I don’t know her or anything, but I just have this gut feeling (call me crazy) that this one will not last, either. She should just realize her Mom and Kurt did it right by not making it legal. It’s not for everyone.
🙁
I don’t see this ending well for poor Matt. I hope these two don’t make it down the aisle. He could do so much better. I don’t see these 2 lasting either way.
I don’t like Kate’s movies, or her hopping from boyfriend to boyfriend with her son in tow, but I also don’t like the implication above that her lack of interest in marriage was a strategy. Some women, myself included (and I’m married with two kids), aren’t obsessed with marriage and our lack of interest is not a ploy. To assume otherwise implies that every woman is focused on one goal – getting some guy to marry them. I hate that perception.
The ring is gorgeous, she is annoying.
good luck w/that…
Kate needs a hit, badly. She is not as popular as she use to be and she needs to get back into the good graces of the female public to go see this rom-com. So announcing the engagement was smart. The Wilson relationship, various BF’s with her son and her unapologetic attitude about relationships took down her Q rating with females. Someone in her camp must have told her to slow her row.
Well, what’s she supposed to say? Yeah, I don’t care about getting married — uh, because he hasn’t proposed. When he proposes, no hesitation, grabs the ring.
I love Kate no matter the haters. She is delightful. I’m so sick of boring celebs on late night shows, all pretentious or just not funny trying to be. She was on Letterman tonight and just adorable, really.
I love Matt Bellamy, and, yes, he is a genius musician. Tremendous guitar player, great frontman, singer, and excellent songwriter/composer, keyboardist. His last album with Muse, he wrote a three-part symphony and put it on there. Amazing is all I can say.
I just don’t think there’s any way this will last. I’ve never gotten the impression that she’s truly in love with Matthew Bellamy. She was totally obsessed with A-Rod and heartbroken when he dumped her and moved on with Cameron Diaz, and, like she always does, she just immediately jumped into the next relationship because she is literally unable to be single. I can’t stand her co-dependence, clinginess, and desperation when it comes to men. I think she will eventually tire of Bellamy and move on to another man, just like she did with her ex Chris Robinson (she had an affair with Owen Wilson, shortly afterward they filed for divorce.) Also, remember how Kate and Bellamy met at Coachella last year? Well I read a snippet about how she was originally hitting on Thom Yorke of Radiohead (love him!) and he completely blew her off (he has a girlfriend that he has two kids with and I’m sure she knows that, seriously Kate!), and then she went for Bellamy because her first choice rejected her. Pathetic. I feel bad for Bellamy because he seems like a really good guy. However, he is extremely unfortunate-looking and has embarrassingly bad fashion sense (what’s with the Beetlejuice pants?)
She is so bloody ugly. And, as a matter of fact, so is he. Good luck to them!
