Owen Wilson to wed Kate Hudson - a year after he 'tried to kill himself' when she dumped him

Hollywood A-listers Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson are set to tie the knot – a year after he tried to kill himself when she dumped him.

Owen, 39, allegedly attempted suicide last summer after his relationship with Goldie Hawn's daughter broke down.

It is thought the devastated actor slashed his wrists and took an overdose of pills after his ex-lover was pictured cuddling her new boyfriend comedian Dax Shephard.

Mum-of-one Kate is thought to have called off the affair, blaming Owen's lack of commitment.

Owen and Kate originally met while filming the comedy You, Me and Dupree and is thought to have dated him during her six-month separation from now ex-husband and Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson.

Now seven months on from Owen's reported suicide bid, the pair are back together and are set to wed next year.

Kate has been pictured wearing a huge diamond ring on her engagement finger, after Owen proposed to her in Miami.

The 28-year-old is said to be "ecstatic" about the prospect of marrying Owen.
