A Family Affair
Big brother Oliver weds Erinn Bartlett in Mexico. Hudson guides 2-year-old ring bearer Ryder down the aisle. The following day, Robinson embarks on a nine-week tour with his band, while Hudson alternately stays home with Ryder and promotes her new comedy, You, Me and Dupree.
Onscreen with Owen
You, Me and Dupree hits theaters. Of working with both Luke and Owen Wilson, Hudson tells PEOPLE, "I am a Wilson aficionado! I have gotten to know all of the Wilson brothers now, Andrew included. Their sense of humor [is] similar. But I would say Owen is the weirdest."
Marital Split
After nearly six years of marriage, Hudson and Robinson separate. Meanwhile, reports of a romance with Wilson circulate after he and Hudson are spotted at several L.A. hotspots together.
Going Public
Hudson and Ryder vacation on Maui, and Wilson rents a house nearby. On Sept. 7, the two have dinner together and an onlooker notes to PEOPLE, "The chemistry between [them], the electricity, was palpable. They really looked into each other."

Kate Hudson is PEOPLE's Most Beautiful
A 29-year-old Hudson headlines PEOPLE's 100 Most Beautiful list, landing on the annual cover. "I was a tomboy. I had three brothers. I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises," Hudson reveals to PEOPLE. "But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed."
