Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson - More Than Friends?

After her recent public split from Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson, the rumors mills claimed that Kate Hudson was hooking up with her co-star Owen Wilson. Both Kate, 27, and Owen, 37, vehemently denied the rumors, yet were awfully coy with the media. Kate even avoided a handful of press junkets for their joint film, You, Me and Dupree to avoid any romantic speculation.

Times are changing as the two seem to be quietly stepping out together in public. After a visit to Kate's house, Owen took her out for a few drinks at the Polo Lounge, where they even requested to be given an extra level of privacy. Understandably, they probably needed some space to make out like school kids without the annoying glare of the paparazzi.

Another coincidence surfaced only a week prior as they were both spotted vacationing separately in Hawaii. No matter what anyone else says, Kate and Owen maintain that they are nothing more than friends. Kind of like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were just friends? If you believe that, I just might have a lovely bridge to sell you!
