Kate Hudson Dating Owen Wilson's Close Friend

Kate Hudson has started a secret romance with her ex-boyfriend Owen Wilson’s close friend Lance Armstrong.

The actress has been dating the former champion cyclist for over a fortnight, despite briefly rekindling her relationship with Wilson earlier this year after he attempted suicide following their original split last summer.

Amazingly, it’s the second time Armstrong has hooked up with one of Wilson’s ex’s.

The 36-year-old Tour De France winner got engaged to singer Sheryl Crow after her three year relationship with fellow Texan Owen.

A source tells the Mail On Sunday, “They have known each other for a while and Lance is one of Owen's good friends.

"When Kate was with Owen, she got to know Lance really well but they hooked up again recently at a dinner party thrown by a mutual friend and that's when the romance began. They have both been keeping it very quiet.

“They’ve been dating for a couple of weeks. She thought it was funny when people were writing recently that she was engaged to Owen because the reality was that they had split again and she was secretly seeing Lance.

"She and Lance are both physical, passionate people – she's never been happier."
