Appearing on Drew's talk show this week, Kate assured the host that the warm feelings are mutual.
"I'm so glad I have this moment documented," the daytime TV host said.
Some thought Hugh was rude to the model on the Oscars red carpet, while others figured he was just being British.
"I’ve heard dogs bark better than she sings," the British actor said of his Music And Lyrics co-star.
The actor said her US talk show has given her new motivation to avoid alcohol: "I can’t handle this unless I’m in a really clear place."
The former child star accused the parody awards show of "bullying" Firestarter star Ryan Kiera Armstrong.
"If I want to do this other work, that cannot be at the expense of our children and our family," the Gavin & Stacey star explained.
The actor split from her third husband, Will Kopelman, with whom she shares two children.
The actor said she takes a different approach to celebrating the holidays with her daughters, Olive and Frankie.
"This is so unbelievably wholesome. Drew must be protected at all costs."
