Kate Hudson and Derek Hough were supposedly involved in an affair prior to the end of her relationship with ex-boyfriend Matt Bellamy. The cover of the latest issue of “Us Weekly” alleges that the actress and the “Dancing With The Stars” professional dancer had long been dating before she called time on her romance with the Muse frontman.
Hudson and Hough have been friends for a long time as Kate is a fan of dance, but up until recently, their relationship was strictly platonic. Prior to her ending her three-year relationship with Matt Bellamy, Kate was reportedly sneaking around with Derek Hough. She and Hough were said to be making out while enjoying numerous dates together on the sly while in Los Angeles together.
On whether or not Hudson was cheating with Hough, a source told the publication, “Derek thinks Kate is gorgeous. Ever since the dance lessons, he knew they had chemistry. Derek thought very highly of Matt, and he still does. He did not try to hook up with Kate while they were together. He’s a good guy.”
The source continued, “As Kate told Derek about her problems with Matt…they grew closer and closer. Derek knew the relationship was over, so he didn’t think twice about hooking up with Kate.”
On the subject of Kate’s doomed relationship with Matt, the source said, “Kate hooked up with Matt because he was a rock star in a hot band…but he was moody. She would call him a wet blanket. Things were bad. They were always on the verge of breaking up or getting back together. Other than liking music, they didn’t have anything in common. Kate loves being outdoors and being fit. Matt was always inside recording or jamming with friends.”
Kate Hudson and Derek Hough certainly make a good looking couple, but it doesn’t sound like there was anything going on behind Matt’s back because of a mutual respect between the men. That’s a rare occurrence these days – perhaps “Us Weekly” should’ve led with that on the cover?
