Kate Hudson and fiance Matt Bellamy, of Muse, welcomed Bingham "Bing" Hawn Bellamy on July 9, 2011. This is Hudson's second son, her son Ryder is was born in 2004 and his father is Chris Robinson of the Black Crows, but Bellamy's first child.
She reportedly had a cesarean with Ryder after a failed induction at 38 weeks. Her doctor's said that she should consider induction because she had a big baby.
