Kate Hudson and J.J. Watt spark romance rumors

Kate Hudson and football star JJ Watt were caught goofing off out at dinner recently, but does it count as a date? If Watt's wording in a Snapchat video is any indication, it just might be.

The "Mother's Day" actress and the Houston Texans star shared a night out at a restaurant Monday and couldn't help but get carried away with some social media fun, playing with a Snapchat filter that puts a halo of stars around the subject's head, as witnessed in photos posted by the JJ Watt Ladies fan page.

"Apparently the stars belong to the hottest person on the date, that's why Kate wins," Watt said in the video before moving the camera from Hudson to himself.

It's unclear exactly where Hudson and Watt were hanging out or what the occasion was -- or even if they were alone. But the vibe of the evening seemed pretty friendly. Hudson was most recently linked to Nick Jonas but is said to be currently single, and Watt is rumored to be dating UFC vet and "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Paige VanZant.

Hudson's rep has not responded to requests for comment.
