Kate Hudson has spoken about her ex-lover Owen Wilson for the first time.
The actress, who began dating Owen last year after they met on the set of You, Me and Dupree but split in June, said she will always love Owen and hopes he is happier followinghis failed suicide attempt.
She said: "Owen is such a lovely person, and I love him dearly. And I wish him beautiful things - health and everything that he desires in life."
Kate, 28, also revealed her marriage to rocker Chris Robinson began to falter after their three-year-old son Ryder was born.
The actress, who split from Chris in 2006 after six years, admitted her divorce was the most "painful" thing she has ever gone through.
She told Vogue magazine: "We had Ryder, and we both sort of looked at each other and went, 'Something's off.'
"The divorce was the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. The process of discovering with somebody that you love that you don't work is so painful."
Despite the heartbreaking split, Kate insists she is still close to her ex-husband and claims being a single mother has forced her to grow up quickly.
She said: "Thank goodness I did it with Chris. We helped each other through it. Now we're both single and since the day we separated, we talk multiple times.
"This year was just an extremely giant sort of leap. I definitely feel like I've grown up a lot."
Following her split from Owen in June, Kate has been romantically linked to Dax Shephard and Orlando Bloom.
Owen was rushed to hospital on August 26 after being found unconscious with slashed wrists, just days after Kate was first photographed with Dax.
The Wedding Crashers star has since reportedly dated Jessica Simpson, supermodel Le Call and Bionic Woman star Michelle Ryan.
