Article: Owen's family creates distances?

Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson in happier days

Owen Wilson's recovery is taking place without contact from his ex, Kate Hudson.

A source close to the actress says her attempts to send regards have been rebuffed by Wilson's camp.

"Kate has been trying to get in touch with Owen and is distraught that the family doesn't want her anywhere near him," says a pal. "She is very frustrated."

Hudson and Wilson began an on-and-off romance after shooting "You, Me and Dupree." The relationship fizzled despite several attempts, including a visit by Wilson to Hudson's secluded Australian film set this year.

Wilson, who was hospitalized in Los Angeles after a drug overdose and suicide attempt, has since been battling depression. And some think hearing from his ex wouldn't help.

The insider added: "[Owen's family members] don't think Kate is good for him."
