Owen Wilson dumps his baby’s mother

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Celebitchy

Owen Wilson usually manages to stay under the gossip radar, but we’ve still heard that he’s been out partying a lot despite the fact that he has a newborn at home. Owen’s now ex girlfriend, former air marshall Jade Duell, 28, gave birth to their son Robert Ford Wilson in early January. Owen said in an appearance on the Today Show in February that he would call him “Ford” and joked that he wasn’t getting much sleep due to the baby. Well he doesn’t have that issue anymore if this story is accurate. Jade and little Ford reportedly moved out and are now staying to New York. Owen was invited to the baby’s christening in New York on June 12, but he bailed at the last minute and missed his scheduled flight. That’s kind of sad.

Owen Wilson is on the verge of a breakdown after dumping his baby mama.

The “Wedding Crashers” star refused to commit to girlfriend Jade Duell and plunged into a downward spiral after she moved to New York with their infant son, sources say.

“Poor Owen is a mess,” a family friend told The Enquirer. “He cries all day and blames himself for ruining his life again. He loves his son Robert more than anything, and he’s kicking himself for not giving his relationship with Jade enough time…

“The baby was the best thing that ever happened to Owen,” noted the source…

“Owen wanted the freedom to do what he wanted with his friends, both male and female, while remaining a family unit with Jade and the baby,” said the source.

“But Jade wasn’t willing to go along with that, so Owen decided to end things with her instead of cheating behind her back.”

Jade and the baby moved out of Owen’s home and flew to New York to be with her family, added the source.

Despite the split, she invited Owen to their son’s christening in New York on June 12, said the source. But he apparently backed out at the last minute…

“He left the airport and drove around Santa Monica for hours. Now he’s holed up in his beach house and walking around like a zombie.”

I hope the Enquirer’s take on this is totally wrong. I don’t want to think Owen is a mess or that he’s a suicide risk again. I’d rather hear that he’s partying and wants to be single without any complications, because it sounds like that’s what got him here in the first place. He can’t have it both ways. He seems perfectly happy to ditch his girlfriend and kid, but then he’ll also have to live with the fact that he won’t get to see the boy grow up. He’s rich and has a flexible schedule though. If he wants to be around little Ford he can probably make that choice too. He doesn’t have to be in a relationship if he doesn’t want to.
