Kate 'confirms Brad romance'

After weeks of speculation about whether or not she's dating Brad Pitt, it seems Kate Hudson has let the cat out of the bag, having reportedly been overheard confirming their romance to friends.

The actress was apparently busted gushing to mates about Brad 53, at two Golden Globes afterparties, with Woman's Day magazine claiming she told one group they've rendezvoused on "several occasions" since his split from Angelina Jolie.

And despite not making an appearance together, the pair may have managed to squeeze in some private time, with the mag reporting that Kate, 37, was spotted having an "intimate" conversation with Brad's agent, Bryan Lourde, before being spirited away from the party in a car that had the exact same number plate as the one that Brad left the earlier ceremony in.

Neither she or Brad walked the red carpet at last week's event, although Kate was certainly dressed to impress, wearing a jaw-dropping low-cut gold lace Roberto Cavalli gown for one afterparty at West Hollywood's Sunset Tower Hotel.

The mother-of-two kept the rest of her look simple, sweeping her hair into a top knot and accessorising with diamond earrings and a black clutch.

And Brad - who she was first linked to late last year - also made a surprise appearance at the awards.

Attending his first awards show since his split from Angelina Jolie last year, Brad received cheers from the room as he took the stage to present the film Moonlight, which was nominated for Best Drama Motion Picture.

And while Kate and Brad weren't seen together at the Globes or the after-party, rumours romantically linking the pair have been swirling for months.

In November last year, a former bodyguard of Brad's hinted that the pair had been hooking up since the Allied star's marriage to Ange ended.

“They make a great celebrity couple. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they were dating," Kris Herzog told Woman's Day magazine.

An inside source also seemed to confirm Kris' theory of the new Hollywood romance adding, "Kate is Brad's mystery woman. They've been extremely close over the past few weeks, following several secret meet-ups."

Both Brad and Kate are yet to comment on the speculation.
