Owen Wilson has been spotted dining out with singer Jessica Simpson, sparking rumours that the pair have started dating.

The Wedding Crashers actor, who has been battling with depression since he tried to commit suicide in August, was seen on a date with Simpson at the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica.

Wilson then went back to his home in Malibu, according to reports. One witness said: "He couldn't keep his hands off her."

The actor was reportedly planning to meet up with his ex-girlfriend Kate Hudson earlier this week for the first time since he was hospitalised.
