Earlier this week we heard that Kate Hudson and her fiance, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, were off-again and that they “have been separated for some time now” according to Kate’s rep. This was despite the fact that Kate was seen attending an event with Matt less than three weeks ago. Judging solely from photos, if their relationship was off at that point, Matt didn’t seem to know about it. That’s pure assumption of course, but it’s the impression I guess. At that same event was Dancing With The Stars professional Derek Hough, who was spotted out on a date with Kate over the weekend. US Weekly reported that the two are an item, and now they’re claiming that Kate and Derek were seen kissing on that date.
The longtime (dance-off!) friends quickly got intimate — and didn’t care who was looking — after they arrived at L.A.’s restaurant the Nice Guy at 11 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5.
They “were totally kissing,” an insider tells Us of Hudson, 35, and the Dancing With the Stars pro, 29. “So scandalous!”
Shocking perhaps, but Hudson and Bellamy, who share 3-year-old son Bingham, had already broken up by then. “Kate and Matt have been separated for some time now,” a rep for Bellamy, 36, told Us on Tuesday, Dec. 9. “Despite this, they remain very close friends and committed co-parents.”
Hudson appears to share the same sentiment. “She says that Matt’s a really great guy, but they’re no longer together,” a pal tells Us. The split “wasn’t anything big and emotional.”

Of course this whole story could be an elaborate ruse. Lainey Gossip reports that Kate and Derek’s sister, Julianne Hough, are close friends and that the two share a publicist. *cough* We’ve heard of several of Derek’s hookups with Julianne’s friends, like Nikki Reed and Nina Dobrev. Then again, both of those women got with Hough right after their high profile relationships ended. The dude has a definite pattern.

He pings for me.
Yes. There were rumors that his sister bearded for him when she was supposedly “dating” his roommate-b.f. Julianne split from the guy when he & Derek went kaput.
I KNOW this is really bitchy, but he is NOT attractive! Why do women like him?
he looks like a Dr. Seuss character to me.
(so, basically, I agree with your post.)
because there is more to a person than looks? i hope you meet someone who isnt only with your for your appereance and wont leave you when you get older.
Oh come on @Sara, you have to have some physical attraction in a relationship. It obviously shouldn’t be the main aspect but it def has to be there.
Yes Allie, but I think Sara’s point is that you can be physically attracted to MORE than just somebody’s appearance. I know plenty of men (and women) who aren’t conventionally good-looking but who, when you get to know them, have something — whether it’s sensuality, intelligence, or mystery — that makes them incredibly attractive. We don’t know Derek at all. I don’t think his face is anything special, but maybe the man is sex on legs!
I actually think he looks hot with his beard
Budget satan needs a beard?
HA!
Derek Hough’s business cards should read: The Bargain Bin Satan for All your High Profile Romance Rebound and His Bearding Needs
“Bargain Bin Satan”
I laughed so hard I think my pancreas shut down. I love you, QQ.
I don’t even really know w-the-f he is. When you need a high profile romance, shouldn’t that person actually be ‘high profile’?
I’m not a fan at all, never have been, but he’s a dance professional and has won The Mirror Ball Trophy a number of times on Dancing with the Stars. He’s an incredibly talented choreographer and dancer and one of the regular pros on DWTS. Hard to believe no one’s heard of him.
I noticed that the show was mentioned above, but honestly, I never got pulled into the program, so I don’t know the people on it. I really don’t think he is mega-famous in the scheme of things. Although I don’t know most reality stars either.
And the mutual publicist is probably giving those out. Publicists and bearding / hook-ups have gone together for decades in Hollyweird.
Those siblings have some weird rumors and give off weird vibes. Considering how much Julianne and Kate look similar sometimes I find the whole thing gross and bizarre.
^This. It’s way more than pinging – it’s Dueling Bangos . . . .
Banjos. Sorry.
LMAO, Punky!!! “Dueling Bangos’ is totally perfect!!! I loves me some Punky.
you just reminded me of “Blades of Steel” and the brother/sister skating team.
ew….
Ya’ll are evvverrryyyttthiiinnng
I think we have another Cersei and Jamie Lannister syndrome.
I have two brothers and they’re both blonde with green eyes. All my life i was disgusted by blonde men with green eyes. I realized not long ago that it was because i related them to m brothers and I couldn’t just find these guys attractive.
*shivers down the spine*
I had to google the Lannisters. That sounds about right. I admit, the rumors I’ve heard are just that, rumors, but they’re twisted enough that they could fit right in that show.
Everyone says Julianne is a very ‘sweet’ looking girl. I think she looks very cold and calculating and like she’d eat your soul. I have an irrational (admittedly) dislike of her.
I don’t know her so I can’t say what she’s like in real life but I do believe her brother is gay and that she has been the beard for all his relationships.
If Kate Hudson decided to date Derek Hough it sounds to me like she wanted to give her lady parts some rest. She strikes me as a man eater and he’s no prey. No way is he straight.
Yes, yuck.
the report yesterday could also have been simple damage control because they knew US would run this story.
I think Kate fancies herself a “dancer”. Remember she did a spot on “Glee”as a dance instructor!?! So they must be soul mates! Why else would you dump your baby daddy?
Does she even try to get acting gigs any more? Derek (w)ho(ugh)?
Gross, he is just gross. I’m a little disappointed in her if this is true.
She just loves herself. Whatever really happened between her and Owen Wilson?
That’s always my impression. She bugs the crap out of me. And I had forgotten she was even with Owen Wilson.
Whatever happened between her and Owen made Owen a mess though. Wasn’t he depressed or something? I remember he had some type of crisis after they broke up. Now he’s sort of below the radar.
Loralei, I completely agree with you. It’s totally unreasonable, but I can’t stand her and don’t know why… She seems really up herself and just rubs me up the wrong way.
His hair shine more than my future
LOLLLL
I used to defend her, I though all the hate she was getting (by Muse’s fans) was unjustified, but this story sounds weird. Anyway, Matt posted this in his twitter account https://twitter.com/MattBellamy/status/542492675773960192
Hough, Vasectomy, hurry!!!
She’s going to start acting desperate in the near future, I suspect. She seems like she’s always got the next one lined up before the current one knows it’s over. And, yes, I totally agree with the comments above to his general creepy vibe…..and the weird sister vibe……
Funny how NOW the story from Kate’s publicist is that they have been “separated from some time” (conviebient if she’s been spotted kissing Derek-or any dude for that matter-less than a week after official news of her split) when just a few months ago when rumors were rampant of she and Matt being broken up and not even living together anymore it was “These rumors are nothing but vicious lies. Matt and Kate are still very much together and completely in love.” Blah blah blah, more Hollywood bullsh*t, blah blah blah. Make up your mind!
All of this is feeling verrrrrry reminiscent of JLo and Casper’s obviously fabricated breakup timeline when he was caught red handed online. Two weeks before they were photographed together cuddling and kissing on the beach and were “still in love” then once the press outed his behavior in a way that couldn’t be denied, Jennifer did the rounds and all of a sudden she’d been “completely single for a while.” (Her very words.) LOL.
Ugh.
Ugh is right. I think the simple fact is we can never really know what goes on with anyone’s relationships in Hollywood, so much is PR and giving us what they think we want.
Can this woman be single for even one minute? She goes from man to man as if she’s afraid to be alone.
Women like that drive me NUTS.
Aw he isn’t any worse than lots of the other guys she has done or probably will do. She just flits from one guy to the next guy and will probably be like this forever or until she goes into therapy to deal with her daddy issues. I don’t like him or his sister but I can’t put my finger on why I don’t like them. There is just something that doesn’t ring true. She seems to stay friends with the fathers of her children so I guess she has that going for her.
I think it’s fine to practice serial monogamy or whatever and to flip relationship pages as quickly as you want unless you have children. I am going to side eye her and anyone else man or woman who does this. Unless you keep your dating life and family totally separate you are having daddy figurse walking in and out of your children’s’ lives every however long. It’s seems very unstable and I would not deal well if I were a child in that situation.
So glad she and Bellamy are kaput, maybe he’ll make decent albums again now
