According to the sources for Us, Kate and Owen were just friends back when the shot Dupree, but it was during their promotional tour together for the film that things heated up. One insider even claims that they "often shared hotel rooms" on the tour. And the sleepovers weren’t limited to hotels. Kate is said to have stayed the night at Owen’s Santa Monica home several times.

A spy told Us, “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.�? Only days before Hudson announced her separation from Robinson, another informant told Us Weekly, “Owen is not-so-secretly hoping she will leave Chris so they wouldn’t have to hide. He is falling for her.�?

Kate’s rep would not comment on the story, but Wilson’s lawyer said, “[Anything] that suggests that the separation of Mrs. Hudson was caused by Mr. Wilson…is absolutely false.�?
