Kate Hudson says Chris Robinson divorce was godsend

Kate Hudson says her divorce from Chris Robinson was the "best thing that ever happened" to her.

The 'Fool's Gold' actress – who has a four-year-old son with Black Crowes frontman Chris – insists the couple's relationship has improved dramatically since their legal separation in October 2007.

She told America's Cosmopolitan magazine: "Look – Chris and I are still basically living together! We've figured it out. I mean, obviously, nothing's perfect, but I could never look at our divorce as a mistake. If anything, it's the best thing that ever happened to us."

The 29-year-old actress recently revealed she doesn't regret forsaking her partying years to have a child. She said: "Am I going to look back and say, 'God, I wish I could have gone to that concert?' I'd rather be listening to my son sing songs. I'd rather be watching him sleep."

Despite having a series of failed relationships, including those with Lance Armstrong, Owen Wilson and Dax Shepard, Kate also admitted she still holds out hope she will find her soul mate.

She added: "Every girl wants a fairy-tale ending. And I believe it's possible. Absolutely."
