Kate Hudson has split up from Owen Wilson and is now reportedly dating cyclist Lance Armstrong.

The actress, who was recently rumoured to be engaged to her You, Me & Dupree co-star, is said to be besotted with Lance, flying from New York to Texas on a private jet just to spend a romantic weekend with him.

An insider tells The Mail On Sunday: "Kate and Lance have been dating for a couple of weeks. She thought it was really 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."

Kate had recently got back together with Owen after his attempted suicide last summer, but the Fool’s Gold star split from him earlier this month, according to her mother Goldie Hawn.

Hawn insists there's no need to worry about Hudson, because she's already on the road to recovery. She tells People: "She is amazing. She is an amazing girl."
