According to a source for the New York Daily News, Owen has visited Kate while she films Fool's Gold with Matthew McConaughey. One Australian source said, alluding to the visit, "Kate had a very close, friendly relationship with the paparazzi on set, but she changed her tune earlier this week. There was a five-day period when she requested no photographers. [Her people] even threatened to get the police on them if they didn't leave her alone." Wilson's rep told NYDN that he was currently in India, likely working on The Darjeeling Limited, his upcoming film with longtime collaborator, Wes Anderson. Still India is a lot closer to Australia than America is. So Wilson's being in India doesn't negate the fact that he may have been in Australia earlier this week.

An insider told NYDN the reason why Kate and Owen cooled off in the first place. The source said, "Owen backed out [of Christmas and New Year] because he didn't want to deal with the whole situation with her family. There's [estranged husband Chris Robinson] and the baby, and also Goldie [Hawn] and Kurt [Russell] don't approve of the relationship."
