She's been engaged to Matthew Bellamy for a week already, but Kate Hudson is still brimming with joy.

"They're so happy and excited," a pal of Hudson's tells PEOPLE. "She's ecstatic!"

Hudson and Bellamy, who are expecting a child together this summer, are in no rush to head down the aisle. For now, they're relishing in their engagement bliss.
