Kate Hudson 'couldn't stay away from Bellamy'

Kate Hudson has confessed that she "couldn't stay away" from boyfriend Matt Bellamy after they met.

The actress, who will welcome a child with the Muse frontman later this year, revealed that while she was initially sceptical about getting into a serious relationship, the couple were unable to deny their strong connection and fell in love quickly.

"In the beginning I felt like, 'OK, this is going to be heavy. Am I prepared for this?' Because it had been a while, and I wasn't looking for that," she told InStyle. "But I just couldn't stay away. I wanted to talk to him and be with him all the time. On our first dates we would take long walks and talk the entire day.

"Matthew was polite and immediately protective, which for somebody like me who's all over the place - one minute I'm over here and the next I'm over there - is important. He is just an amazing person."

The 31-year-old went on to admit that while she never expected that Bellamy would be "the one" for her, she has never been happier in a relationship.

"You always hear people say, 'I never thought this would be the person I would end up with,' but I don't think you ever really know," she explained. "I love that Matthew knows how to express himself. He shows his love. He communicates."
