Luke Wilson has said his brother Owen Wilson “seems very happy” at the moment in his much rumoured relationship with Kate Hudson.

Luke said recently: “[Owen] seems very happy. [Kate] is a very nice girl.”

You, Me and Dupree co-stars Owen and Kate have been linked since last summer but despite being spotted together on a number of occasions, they’ve yet to confirm their relationship. However, a confirmation may not be far off after the couple have been repeatedly photographed together, more recently holding hands at The Ivy at the Shore restaurant in Santa Monica last week.

An onlooker at the restaurant revealed that they were doing more than just holding hands over the meal: “From the second they walked in, they were all over each other. Kate even sat on his lap to give him kisses.”

A source close to the couple added that any earlier issues Owen had with commitment have now gone away: “Owen has realized what a great thing he has. They’re having fun, but things are definitely getting more serious.”
