Owen Wilson is rumoured to be romancing his You, Me and Dupree co-star Kate Hudson.

The actress recently announced her split from husband Chris Robinson, but reports suggest that her budding relationship with Wilson was the primary reason for the break-up.

Before the separation became official, a source told Us Weekly magazine: “Owen is not-so-secretly hoping she will leave Chris so they wouldn’t have to hide. He is falling for her.”

Other sources have apparently claimed that Hudson has spent several nights at the actor's Santa Monica home over the past few weeks. A friend also revealed: "This is not a fling. Kate is crazy about him. Owen gives her so much attention, and she loves it. [That’s why] she wants her marriage to be over.”

However, Wilson's lawyer commented: “[Anything] that suggests that the separation of Ms. Hudson was caused by Mr. Wilson…is absolutely false."
