The couple married in 2000. They have a 2-year-old son, Ryder Russell Robinson.
Hudson, 27, is the daughter of Goldie Hawn (http://movies.msn.com/celebs/celeb.aspx?c=66424). She was nominated for a supporting actress Oscar for her role as rock groupie Penny Lane in 2000's "Almost Famous."
Her screen credits also include "You, Me and Dupree," "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and "The Skeleton Key."
Robinson, 39, is the lead singer of The Black Crowes.
Attempts by the AP to reach a representative for Robinson were not immediately successful.

She is a wonderful actress. I'm sorry for them all.

6 years is pretty good for a Hollywood marriage.

I sure hate to hear that, I thought they would be one of the "ones" that made it! But of course they could always get back together. I'm still trying to get over the Nick and Jess thing!

You know...I don't have much confidence in ANY celebrity weddings because they never seem to last. Of course, there are a few exceptions but most have the baby first...get married and then, oh well, it was good while it lasted and on to the next one. The few that have actually made it work are really amazing and should be commended.

Sometimes it seems that celebrity weddings are publicity stunts. It seems like the celebrities who just live together stay "couples" much longer than the ones who actually tie the knot. Who really knows what goes on in Hollyweird anyway!

Chris Robinson rocks! Love the Black Crowes. Sorry about the divorce, though. It's rough...no matter the circumstances.

What happened to Kate Hudson’s marriage?
Perhaps her ‘Dupree’ co-star Owen Wilson has something to do with it

What happened between Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson?

Kate and Owen Wilson shared exactly one kiss in this summer's “You, Me And Dupree,” but one day after Kate's surprise announcement, the question becomes, is there an Owen factor?

And apparently that's exactly what Kate and Chris are doing after nearly six years of marriage.

But Kate has always been a realist, even as recently as 2005. Just one year after having son Ryder, Kate talked to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush:

“I feel like when you look at somebody that you are, that you love and you respect, that you decide, especially decided to have children with them, and you say we're not having fun anymore what are we going to do?” Kate said. “And you realize its over, its time to hopefully move on and experience, experience your life.”

“You got married so young,” Billy said.

“Yeah,” Kate laughed.

“So, are you prepared to live your life, the rest of your life, with just one lover?” Billy asked.

“I don't know the answer to that,” Kate said.

“Do you imagine so? If things work out that way?” Billy asked.

“I hope so,” Kate said. “That's all you can hope for. That's my dream, and my hope, and my desire.”

And Kate expressed skepticism about the reality and nature of monogamy but said she would never disrespect her husband by straying.

So, after being spotted together, is Owen a reason Kate and Chris split.

Shaun spoke with MTV VJ Damien Fahey, who worked with Kate and Owen on a “You, Me And Dupree” skit for “Total Request Live.”

“What about the chemistry between those two?” Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson asked.

“Oh, its great, Owen and Kate loved each other, they're friends first and foremost,” Damien said.

“All the rumors going around that he had something to do with it?” Shaun asked.

“No, I don't think so, like I said its a brother sister thing,” Damien said.

Owen's rep tells us the same.

So, instead, as is common, busy schedules seem to be the couple's biggest obstacle.

“You have to, every once in a while, let them know you are OK by yourself, and I think that keeps them going keeps them going,” Kate told Billy.

“And you'll be able to experience that in the next year,” Billy asked. “Isn't he going on the road?”

“Yeah, we'll be away from each other a lot,” Kate said. “I'll be working.”

“This is probably going to be the most challenging year coming up for both of you?” Billy asked.

“Yeah, that we've ever had... so we'll see how it works out,” Kate laughed.
