From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Kate Hudson has announced her engagement to musician Danny Fujikawa after five years of dating.

The Almost Famous star shared a picture of the pair kissing on her Instagram on Monday (13 September), in which a large ring could be seen on her hand.

“Let’s go!” Hudson captioned the post, adding a bride, church and groom emoji.

Her post was flooded with messages of congratulations, including from Fujikawa’s stepsisters Erin and Sara Foster.

“Whoa. It’s official. Not gonna lie, been a hard secret to keep. I may have slipped and told a few people,” Sara commented, while Erin said: “Finally we are officially sisters!!”

Gwyneth Paltrow offered her friend support, commenting: “LET’S DO THIS.”

“Aww congrats,” wrote Zoey Deutch.

Just hours after announcing her engagement, Hudson attended the Met Gala, which had the theme of “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”.

Hudson and Fujikawa were first romantically linked in 2016, having known each other since the actor was 23. They made their debut as a couple in May 2017.

The former Chief guitarist is the father of Hudson’s two-year-old daughter Rani Rose. She has two other children from her previous engagement to Matt Bellamy and marriage to Chris Robinson.
