Kate Hudson is planning to move to England to be with her Muse rocker boyfriend Matt Bellamy.

The 31-year-old actress, who has been dating the British musician for just four months, is ready to quit Los Angeles and set up home in the UK capital with Matt, 32.

“Kate’s been swept off her feet. She’s not only fallen in love with Matt, but also with the idea of starting a new life in Europe. The plan is for them to divide their time between his London apartment and his home in Lake Como, Italy. She’s already started moving her things over. She couldn’t be more excited,” said a friend of the Hollywood star.

Kate - who plans to keep her Los Angeles home so she can use when she’s filming in the US - has become obsessed with the UK since Matt showed her the beauty of the English countryside, including the place where he spent his childhood. “Matt’s introduced Kate to a world she never knew. He’s shown her around the English countryside, taken her to Devon and Cambridge, where he grew up, and Ireland, where his mother was born. She’s found a man she truly believes she can settle down with. She’s truly excited about starting her new life,” the source added to Look magazine.

Kate, who has a six-year-old son Ryder from her marriage to Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson, is also planning on landing a theatre role in London’s West End. Last week, it was claimed the couple were also looking for a property in New York.
