First comes love, then baby, then marriage!

Kate Hudson is engaged to Matthew Bellamy, her beau of nearly a year and father to her unborn child. Hudson, 32, made the surprise announcement on Wednesday's Today Show.

Interviewing Hudson (who's promoting her flick Something Borrowed), Matt Lauer noticed a giant square cut engagement ring on her finger.

Confirming her engagement for the first time, Hudson said, "I haven't really announced it, I was waiting for someone to notice."

Although mum on details, the Oscar-nominated star said the "very romantic" proposal went down about a week ago in NYC.

It will be the second marriage for Hudson, who divorced the Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson in 2006 after nearly six years. The amicable exes share son Ryder, 7.

Us Weekly was first to break news of Hudson's second pregnancy back in January.

Her marriage news comes as something of a surprise. Although she and Bellamy, 32, have been inseparable since her pregnancy announcement, she said in January, "I don't feel it necessary to get married...I already have one child, and have had one divorce, so it is not necessarily the golden ticket. I just want to be happy."

Bellamy gushed of his love while accepting a Grammy in February, thanking "my beautiful pregnant girlfriend" at the podium in L.A.

The duo reportedly met years ago in Australia, but didn't become romantic until late spring 2010 -- finally stepping out together in June.

    I don't get why some of you dislike Kate Hudson. She seems like such a fun spirited lovely girl. It must be a personal reason, but still she's not as bad as you all portray her. Her divorce with Chris Robinson was a mutual thing and as far as her dating history, well you know what they say...sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs to meet a prince! Can you blame her???I don't!

    I don't wish to be with Matt. I wish to be able to listen to future Muse songs without picturing him writing them about her, because I'm not a fan of her. And not because I think she's a "slag". It's because she annoys me.

    She doesn't need to get married, or spread her legs, again.

    Oh, good for them! Congratulations! Although I know she said marriage wasn't necessarily "the golden ticket" for her, if they're engaged now, cool. Sometimes people change their minds.
