Kate Hudson is revisiting her relationship with singer Matt Bellamy, who is the father of her son Bing. While speaking on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast, Kate opened up about how she coped following the end of their engagement.
Kate said that the split changed things for her. She explained, "I think that's when things started changing for me — when I started taking far more accountability for my own [expletive]."
Kate adds that being honest with herself had a number of benefits. As she says: "That was when it started to shift because that's where I think you find your power. When you realize how imperfect we all are, when you're OK with that, it's very liberating."
Kate and Matt got engaged in 2011. When they announced their breakup in December 2014, they made it clear that they had been separated for a while. Kate's representative told People, "Kate and Matt have been separated for some time now. Despite this, they remain very close friends and committed co-parents."
In the years following their 2011 engagement, Kate was open about not being in a rush to walk down the aisle. In an interview with Women's Health, she explained that her mother's relationship with Kurt Russell was a guiding light for her.
Kate said, "My parents aren't married. And one of the reasons why they never got married is because they had been married before and they liked it the way it was. They didn’t feel like they needed a piece of paper to be committed."
Kate was previously married to Chris Robinson from 2000 to 2006 and the two have a son, Ryder, together. While speaking to Josh Smith, she admitted that her "second failed baby-daddy relationship" meant that "I have to figure this out."
In the years that have followed their breakup, Matt Bellamy and Kate Hudson have become excellent co-parents. Kate said, "One thing that Matt said to me, which I loved, is, 'I just want to make sure that Bing feels like he's gaining something, not losing something.'"
She added, "I'm really lucky. I've got lots of dads. I trust them."
