Kate Hudson and fiancé Matt Bellamy have finally settled on a name for their new arrival.

The baby boy, who was born on Saturday night in L.A. weighing in at 7 lbs. 12 oz, has been named Bingham Hawn Bellamy.

British Muse rocker, 33, tweeted today: 'So happy! Just had a baby boy, Bingham 'Bing' Hawn Bellamy.'

'Mum and baby are strong and healthy.

'Mum was a warrior, Bing popped out after 4.5 hours of intense pushing!'

Soon after, he returned to Twitter to explain the inspiration behind the unusual name.

He wrote: 'For those wondering, Bingham is my mum's maiden name.

'Bing Russell was also Kurt [Russell's] dad. Family connections all around!"

The actress, whose biological father is Bill Hudson, considers Russell, her mother Goldie Hawn's partner of 28 years, a father figure.

Nicknamed Bing, the boy's middle name is also a tribute to Goldie.

Kate, 32, also has a son Ryder, seven, with her ex-husband, Chris Robinson.
The How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days star gave birth shortly before fellow A-list star Victoria Beckham, who also opted for an unusual baby name - Harper Seven.

The couple are said to be close to purchasing a Malibu mansion to raise their new baby in.

The 7,000 square foot home is reportedly worth $5.3million and is nestled in the exclusive Pacific Palisades.

Growing family: Kate's new son is her second child - she already has a seven-year-old boy Ryder from her first marriage to Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson


However, Kate is rumoured to be going to spend a few months in the UK while Bellamy finishes recording his next album before finally settling back in LA.

Although Kate had was initially not receptive to the idea of getting married again saying she 'didn't feel it necessary' as she 'already had one child and one divorce' clearly changed her mind.

In love: Matt Bellamy and Kate Hudson are inseparable, pictured here enjoying the sunshine in Brazil last Monday


When Kate Hudson started dating Matt Bellamy last spring, it seemed to be an unlikely union.

Hudson is Hollywood royalty - her mother is Goldie Hawn - while Bellamy is rooted in the alternative music scene, and grew up in Devon with his grandmother.

The couple, both 32, have added to the intrigue by not revealing any details of how they came to fall in love, considering the very different circles they move in.


Protective: The pair share a tender moment in Rio


But now Hudson, who is expecting the Muse rocker's baby, has opened up about her love for the frontman.

She told InStyle: 'You always hear people say, "I never thought this would be the person I would end up with," but I don't think you ever really know.'

'I love that Matthew knows how to express himself. He shows his love. He communicates.'

And she finally reveals that they got together at the Coachella music festival in California, exactly a year ago - when Bellamy headlined the Saturday night with his juggernaut of a band.


Expecting: While their baby wasn't planned but Hudson says she and Bellamy were so 'in love' when it happened that they were overjoyed


She, it is explained, had no idea who he was, though.

Hudson explained: 'I was watching Radiohead's Thom Yorke with a guy I knew from high school, who introduced me to Matthew.'

'We realized we had met a few years earlier, in Australia. Then I got distracted and said, "I've got to find my friends; I don't know where they went." He just looked at me and said, "Come on, I'll take care of you." That's when I went, "Wait a minute, who are you?"'

Bellamy eventually asked Hudson for her number, and they started dating.

Hudson explained what set Bellamy apart from other men: 'Matthew was polite and immediately protective, which for somebody like me who's all over the place - one minute I'm over here and the next I'm over there - is important.

She added: 'He is just an amazing person.'
