Unofficial Kate Hudson

After Kate Hudson announced that she was separating from her husband back in August, he has decided to make a move of his own by serving her with divorce papers citing irreconcilable differences.

Although Hudson and Owen Wilson both deny it, it’s pretty obvious that the two have been involved since they filmed ‘You, Me & Dupree’ together. She’s been seen at his home and he vacationed with her and her son Ryder in Hawaii.

I would say that your wife moving on to a new man definitely qualifies as “irreconcilable differences.” This just makes it official…

According to an upcoming cover story for Us Weekly, that very well may be the case.

If you parse the statements carefully, it appears that the chronology probably went something like this: Kate Hudson was having marital problems while on the set of You, Me & Dupree, and she turned to Owen Wilson to talk about them. He was attentive and showed concern for her feelings, something she most likely was not getting at home. At some point, the light bulb went off in her head that it was time to leave her marriage because of deficiencies in her relationship with Chris Robinson. Once she had made up her mind that her marriage was over, things developed between she and Wilson.

So, in a technical sense, did Owen Wilson break up Kate Hudson’s marriage? No. But he may well have shown her what was lacking in it. In my experience, no one ever broke up another person’s marriage. Only a marriage already on its way to divorce is vulnerable to outside influences, and at first glance, that appears to have been the case for Hudson.

To my eyes, she and Wilson are a much likely couple than she and Robinson ever made. But whether or not they’re “built to last” remains to be seen, especially in the whirlwind world of Hollywood marriages and divorces…

In what has been one of the oddest couplings since Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett, Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson are finally separating after six years of marriage.

While six years is practically forever in showbiz, the reality is that whenever you saw the two of them together there was always the question that immediately sprang to mind: what is she doing with that guy? Evidently, that question finally occurred to her too…
