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.
