After three and a half years of engagement and a child together, news has come that Kate Hudson splits with Matthew Bellamy, the lead singer, guitarist and piano player in British band Muse - but what went wrong with them?

Following months of reports of Kate not wearing her engagement ring, a representative for the actress has finally come out to say what's going on: Kate Hudson splits with Matthew Bellamy, although they've separated amicably and are definitely looking forward to co-parenting their son Bingham Hawn "Bing" Bellamy.

According to Hollywood Life, the announcement that Kate Hudson splits with Matthew Bellamy comes after months of press speculation, following the fact that she's been repeatedly seen with no ring on her finger over the last few months.

The last time the couple of the Oscar-nominated actress and the Muse leader were seen together was on late November during a charity event sponsored by Kate's mom, Goldie Hawn.

As rumors of Kate Hudson's split with Matthew Bellamy flowed, they were still both seen together in the red carpet, as Bellamy is in the charity's committee. However, this date alone didn't do much to bring these two back together.

The official news that Kate Hudson splits with Matthew Bellamy came from a statement that one of her representatives made to People Magazine this Tuesday, where it was stated that they'd been separated for "some time now."

The website News.com.au states that the official statement that Kate Hudson splits with Matthew Bellamy comes after rumors that the actress is dating Derek Hough, who is famous for his work on ABC's dancing competition "Dancing with the Stars," where he's one of the most successful professional dancers.

"Kate doesn't ever want to get divorced again, and she wasn't sure marriage with Matt was the right choice," a source told X17Online exclusively. "There is still a lot of love there, and they plan to amicably co-parent their son. Who knows what the future holds for them, but right now it's not a wedding."
