Kate HudsonKate Hudson has said getting divorced last year was the “most difficult thing I’ve ever done” but is glad that she got to do it with now ex-husband Chris Robinson because they still care for one another.

Kate told Vogue magazine recently: “The process of discovering with somebody that you love that you don’t work is so painful.”

“We had [son] Ryder, [but] 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. And 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.”

“[The last year] was just an extremely giant sort of leap. I definitely feel like I’ve grown up a lot.”

Kate and Chris separated in August 2006 after six years of marriage, amid rumours that Kate was having an affair with her You, Me and Dupree co-star Owen Wilson. Kate and Owen denied the initial rumours but eventually went public with their relationship before splitting earlier this year.

Kate added: “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.”
