Kate Hudson and actor Dax Shepard have reportedly ended their short-lived relationship.

Or rather, Kate decided to move on but neglected to tell Dax the news.

OK! is reporting that Dax was left in the dark about being kicked to the curb by the actress and only found out from a friend.

A source close to Dax tells OK!: "Dax got a phone call about it from a friend. He's upset that she didn't bother to say anything to him."

It’s rumoured that Kate has already found a replacement for Dax in the form of billionaire party guy Ron Burkle, who she has been spending quality time with in New York.
