Hollywood A-listers Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson are set to tie the knot – a year after he tried to kill himself when she dumped him.

Owen, 39, allegedly attempted suicide last summer after his relationship with Goldie Hawn's daughter broke down.

It is thought the devastated actor slashed his wrists and took an overdose of pills after his ex-lover was pictured cuddling her new boyfriend comedian Dax Shephard.
