The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star, Kate Hudson, reflected on their 2015 fling while playing Plead the Fifth on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday. Host Andy Cohen, pressed Hudson about her involvement with the much younger singer, Nick Jonas, after years of dodging countless rumors. Hudson candidly shared her thoughts, shedding light on their brief but memorable relationship.
Reflecting on their brief romance, Hudson described it as a “moment.” She laughed awkwardly before adding, “Lovely, fun, kind…he’s like an old man in a young man’s body and we love him.” Despite the media buzz in September 2015, neither Hudson nor Jonas ever officially labeled their relationship.

During their brief relationship, they were spotted together at Disney World, sparking romance rumors. Insiders told Page Six they were “hanging out” but “not dating.” Another source confirmed to TMZ they were “absolutely” hooking up, but the couple remained coy about their status.
In a January 2016 interview with Complex, Jonas praised Hudson, saying, “Kate’s incredible. We had an unbelievable connection as two humans who just admire things about each other.” He added:
“Even now I have so much admiration and respect. She’s amazing.”
Despite the praise, Jonas refrained from sharing intimate details out of respect for Hudson’s privacy.
Jonas Moves On With New Love
Following their split, Jonas dated Lily Collins and Georgia Fowler before settling down with his now-wife, Priyanka Chopra, 42. The couple began dating in May 2018 and tied the knot seven months later in a lavish ceremony. They welcomed their daughter Malti Marie via surrogate in January 2022, marking a new chapter in their lives.
Jonas often spoke highly of Hudson, but he found lasting love with Chopra, who brought stability and joy to his life. Their whirlwind romance captured public attention, quickly making them one of Hollywood’s favorite couples. Together, they continue to thrive both personally and professionally, supporting each other’s careers and raising their daughter.
Hudson’s Year-Long Break from Men

Hudson, on the other hand, took a “full year off” from men after her brief fling with Jonas. She revealed on the Call Her Daddy podcast that her therapist had suggested the break as a way to reset and reflect. Initially, it was challenging for her to navigate this period of solitude, but Hudson ultimately found it empowering and realized she “didn’t have the same attachment” to male attention as before.
This period of self-reflection allowed Hudson to gain a deeper understanding of what she truly needed in a partner. She embraced the time alone and used it to focus on her personal growth and well-being, which eventually led her to make healthier relationship choices. Her journey towards self-discovery was a crucial step in her personal development, helping her build a stronger sense of self and clarity in her future relationships.
Finding Love Again with Danny Fujikawa
Hudson, who is also mom to son Ryder, 20, with ex-husband Chris Robinson and son Bingham, 13, with ex Matt Bellamy, reflected on her personal growth and relationship choices. “If I didn’t do that, I would never have ended up with Danny,” she said, laughing at the realization.
“Danny is such a good man, and I’m not so sure I was attracted to the good man before.”
Her journey highlights the importance of taking time for oneself to make healthier and more fulfilling relationship choices.
