Kate Hudson talks about her bump: “It feels like a girl”

wenn3182368

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!).

    She looks amazing in these photos.

    Wow. If they’ve only been dating eight months and she’s four months pregnant, that means she got knocked up only after four months of dating. But it could still work out. Look at his previous fiancee. They were together for six years and it didn’t last. So more time together isn’t always indicative of everlasting love.

  3. brin says:

    She definitely takes after her mother.

  4. fwozbo says:

    If she didn’t have a bad first marriage I would be mad at her for knocking marriage but since she had a bad experience I can’t really blame her too much though, I think trying marriage is a good idea to start. It’s good for the kid too if they are both happy and enjoying each others company.

  5. Larissa says:

    Gosh , I really hope it´s a girl. There is nothing worse in a pregnancy than people rooting for one gender and then it´s the other.

  6. francesca says:

    She says, “I just want to be happy”. I hope she doesn’t make all her decisions based on that criteria. Could be difficult to be one of her children.

  7. gabs says:

    I’d respect her more for not marrying him just because of the baby. I hate when people do that! *cough* natalie portman indeed!

    Have the baby, work on the relationship, get married when it feels right not when you feel forced by society

  8. malachais says:

    I just don’t like Kate. Best wishes to her though. I guess my reasoning is that she’s isn’t setting the best example by getting pregnant after 4 months of being in a relationship and being in a string of relationships while bringing her son in the mix. Whatever, I doubt she cares.

  9. Lisa Turtle says:

    I hope she has a girl too. She has 2 brothers (that she is close with) one is her full brother, the other is her half brother from Goldie & Kurt’s relationship. Her brother Oliver has 2 sons, I bet everyone in the family is ready for a little girl.

    As for not getting married, I don’t judge her at all. I really respect her comment that “its not the golden ticket” because she knows first comes love, then marriage, then baby = not always a recipe for perfection. Still, I think we should let Natalie live in her fantasy world for now. She’ll figure out her baby-daddy is a famewhore grifter in her own time.

  10. Anne says:

    I love Kate. She is certainly a nontraditional girl but seems to be a completely decent person and a great mom. People will judge her for not being married, but I highly doubt she gives a rip about those opinions.

    I really hope she has a girl too!!

  11. lilred says:

    The days of getting married because of pregnancy are long gone.

    If they are healthy and happy all the luck to them, a wedding ring will not change that.

  12. Scarlet Vixen says:

    @fwozbo: What was so “bad” about her marriage? Everything I ever read said Chris Robinson adored her and was devastated when SHE left HIM for Owen Wilson… :-/

  13. tapioca says:

    “I just want to be happy”.

    Me, me, me!!! At least Madonna was honest about pretty much using Carlos Leon as a sperm donor…

  14. Gistine says:

    I am obviously the minority here but I think she looks like a flat-faced Hammerhead shark.

    No offense to the Hammerhead shark.

  15. DGO says:

    @ Scarlet Vixen – Hope you don’t mind me jumping in, but Kate’s marriage to Chris wasn’t all roses. He cheated on her regularly and there were stories about him complaining publicly about her weight after her pregnancy. They had a row on a New York street (with Goldie present) because Kate ordered a regular Coke instead of a diet one, and Chris thought she needed to watch her caloric intake. So yeah, it wasn’t a great marriage.

  16. Devon says:

    There is this couple that I went to high school with. They were high school sweethearts and then broke up. They hooked up a few months later and bam! She was pregnant. (very suspicious to my bff who is friends with them) They got back together because she was pregnant and were married by her 6 month of pregnancy. They have a horrible marriage. He wants to leave and has tried to leave but she keeps threatening to never let him see their son. Getting married because of a baby is not right nor is getting married when pregnant because it’s all people are going to think. That being said, I do have another friend from high school who got married when she was 21 weeks pregnant. The difference between her and the other 2 was that she was engaged a LONG time before she got pregnant and they had this date before she found out. Plus you couldn’t even tell she was pregnant in her dress.

    This baby is great news because it will keep her from attempting to act for awhile.

  18. Jeri says:

    So who’s raising Ryder? A nanny or his father?

  19. Sally says:

    @Gistine: I see it, too!

    Having said that, I think she looks quite cute here (more like she used to). Being pregnant suits her, I guess!

  20. JenJen says:

    Now she’s playing “hard to get” and preggers after a few months. She’s pulling out all the stops.

  21. Johnthing says:

    At least it cuts down the number of Ryder’s “uncles”.

  22. kayls says:

    I NEED her coat! And I’m loving that bodyguard’s squint-eye.

  23. S says:

    THAT COAT IS PERFECTION.

  24. Jennifer Leigh says:

    She has probably already had a sonogram, and at 14-15 weeks, they can tell you it’s LIKELY to be a girl (usually they can tell if it’s a boy by then so if there’s no lil baby stick then the chances are good it’s a girl)…I wish her the best!!
