Kate Hudson has dumped boyfriend Dax Shepard and embarked on a mission to win back her ex Owen Wilson, a friend of the couple has revealed.
"They weren't working out, and she got bored," the source told the New York Daily News.
"She's telling people it's a clean break."
The demise of their relationship was reported last week, but the couple were reportedly staying together in a hotel in Boston.
However Hudson was without a partner on the red-carpet at a star-studded Directors Guild of America event last week.
A friend of Shepard says the former Punk'd star is "devastated" about their break-up and "will do anything to win her back."
The two began dating after Hudson broke up with actor Owen Wilson after an 18-month romance.
Wilson was admitted to an LA hospital in August this year after slashing his left wrist and overdosing on pills.
Reports say Hudson was so shocked and upset that it influenced her decision to end her relationship with Shepard.
"After his suicide attempt, she realised how much she loved [Owen] and broke up with Dax," an insider told UK gossip website Entertainmentwise.
Wilson who starred with 28-year-old Hudson in the film Me, You and Dupree was seen last month out and about in Santa Monica the first time in the public eye since his hospitalisation.
UK tabloid The Sun reported that he nodded to photographers, who wished him well in his recovery.
