Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy have purchased a £4 million home in the UK

The couple – who are currently expecting their first child – have reportedly purchased a property in North London after the 31-year-old actress decided the UK would be a “great place” to raise a family.

An insider explained: “Kate is ready to put down roots in the UK. She is in the process of filling out visa forms that will enable her to live in England with Matt for at least six months of the year.

“Kate looks at the UK as a great place to raise a family. She sees herself living and working from London for the long haul.”

The pair are hoping to move into the property, which comes complete with a nursery, games room and guest rooms, as soon as renovations are complete, and are also looking at holiday homes in Cornwall near the 32-year-old rocker’s parents’ house in Devon, South West England.

Matt and Kate – who also has a seven-year-old son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson – are said to be so ecstatic about their new home that they have already taken Kate’s Hollywood legend mother Goldie Hawn and stepdad Kurt Russell to look around the area.

The source added to Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper: “Matt and Kate have shown Goldie and Kurt around the area and Matt took them all to Devon to meet his parents. They also looked around Cornwall for a holiday home.”

However, Kate recently admitted she was “unsure” about moving to the UK on a permanent basis.

She said: “I’ll obviously be spending a lot more time in London bit I’m not sure about moving – not yet! We’ll probably split it 50/50 – I do love it here and surprisingly I do love the weather. It’s so nice to have seasons.”

The actress – who was on the red carpet in Leicester Square last night (03.12.09) for the London premiere of the musical comedy ‘Nine’, in which she plays a fashion journalist – said she would accept  role if it fitted in with her family life.

Kate – who has a five-year-old son Ryder from her marriage to rocker Chris Robinson – said: “I’ve had a really good year which is a kid of a good feeling, it’s the first year I’ve felt like that.

“I have thought about theatre, that would be fun. I would never shy away from that.

“As long as it’s the right opportunity and timing for my family, but you know, I could. The decision-making process to do something like that does become a lot harder but I would never shy away from that in the right circumstances.”

The 30-year-old star said she enjoyed the singing and dancing in ‘Nine’ so much that she wanted to do something involving that again.

She said: “I would love to, it was so fun. It’s like the most exhilarating, joyful thing in the world, it’s like ‘Oh my god!’.”

She also said it was the praise of her step-father Kurt Russell, who watched her during some of the filming, which provided the most memorable aspect of production.

She told BANG Showbiz: “My dad coming to watch, that was special, the first time he saw me, he was shocked. I think that’s my memorable moment.”

The ‘Bride Wars’ actress doesn’t hold back when it comes to telling those close to her – including mother Goldie Hawn and stepfather Kurt Russell – the intimate details of her love life with New York Yankees baseball player Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez.

A source close to the star told Us Weekly magazine: “They love sex! They talk about it all day. Kate gets graphic talking about his body, even to her parents.”

The 30-year-old actress – who has a five-year-old son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson – has grown increasingly close to the 34-year-old sportsman since they started dating in May and pals claim she has helped curb his wild ways.

A friend said: “She’s with him every second. Kate is changing him for the better. He’s more free-spirited.”

Earlier this month, rumours spread the couple are considering getting married, after they moved in together in New York.

A source said: “Kate is head-over-heels for Alex and he feels the same way. As long as things continue to be so great, they will get married. They are practically there already with the shared homes.”

Alex has two children, Natasha, five, and 18-month-old Ella, with ex-wife Cynthia.
