There have been rumors for about a year now that Kate Hudson's romance with Matt Bellamy had stalled out. Supposedly, after a brief split, the couple decided to patch things up and work on their issues together. Hudson recently said that there were no wedding plans in the works but that didn't seem like a red flag, especially when you consider how much of a free spirit she is. It seemed kind of possible that they were just enjoying the moment, at least until now. It now seems to be confirmed that their engagement has been called off. Not only that, but Hudson has already reportedly moved on with "Dancing With the Stars" pro, Derek Hough.

While Hough and Hudson may initially sound like an odd pairing, the truth is these two have been very close for well over a year now. She has taken ballroom lessons from Hough and it was over a year ago that they were spotted performing an impromptu dance together in public. That raised some eyebrows at the time but Hudson was still confirmed to be with Bellamy.

Now everything has changed and in spite of sharing a 3-year-old son together, Hudson and Bellamy are sharing little else. Their split is obviously very fresh since they walked a red carpet together back on Nov. 21, but since then, Hudson has been spotted getting cozy with Hough. Hough always seems to be a rebound guy, doesn't he? In recent years, he has briefly been linked to Lauren Conrad and Nina Dobrev when they were newly single. What are your thoughts on Hudson hooking up with the ballroom pro?

Do you think that Hudson's time with Hough will amount to nothing more than a fling? Should she and Bellamy tried to work things out or were they destined to split eventually? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
