Despite a flurry of engagement rumors, Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson – Hollywood’s most notorious on-again, off-again couple – have called it quits, less than two months after rekindling their romance in Miami.

The end of their erratic courtship (they began dating in September ‘06) comes amid erroneous reports that the pair were engaged, fueled by photos of Hudson wearing a Tiffany & Co. ring (it was a prop!) both on-and-off set of her film Bride Wars, which she’s filming in Boston.

“It was a pretty bad breakup,” says a Wilson pal. “Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn’t want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him.”

Since the split, Hudson, 29, and Wilson, 39, have each been spotted letting loose. On May 9, Hudson and Bride Wars costar Steve Howey, 30, visited Boston’s Liberty Hotel bar, Alibi. And on May 11, Wilson dropped by N.Y.C.’s Upstairs with two women.

“He was pretty chummy with the ladies … he was certainly doing some sweet talking,” according to an onlooker. “He looked happy to be there hanging with them.” The late-night outing was followed by a visit to Butter the next night, where he chatted up a sexy blonde. Says a Hudson source: “She feels dumb thinking it was so serious.”

Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson are not getting married, despite reports in the British media.

“She’s definitely not engaged,” a rep for Hudson tells Usmagazine.com. A rep for Wilson, 39, also confirms the rumors are wrong.

The reason for the false uproar? Hudson, 29, was spotted wearing a diamond ring in Boston.

“She’s shooting a movie called Bride Wars, which explains the ring,” adds her rep.

Still, the on-again couple “are at a good place with each other,” a pal told Us earlier this year.

“Owen is such a lovely person, and I love him dearly,” Hudson said in the January issue of Vogue. “And I wish him beautiful things — health and everything that he desires in life.”

Owen Wilson is in no rush to get hitched. At least that’s what he told his guy pals on April 25 at Miami’s Nobu, where the actor ended a story by saying, “Hey, man, I’m never getting married!”

Luckily he’s dating Kate Hudson, 29, who apparently isn’t eager to tie the knot either. “My main focus is Ryder,” Kate has said about her only child with her ex-husband, rocker Chris Robinson, 41. “I’m in a really nice place.”

In fact, Kate loves giving Owen, 39, his freedom and encourages him to hang out with his buddies. “She really wants Owen to maintain relationships with his friends and his family,” an insider tells Life & Style. “Kate isn’t putting any pressure on him. He has never been with a girl who is so independent and laid-back.”

Heading the list of People’s 100 Most Beautiful People is a 29-year-old mother remarkably short on her beauty sleep - for which she lovingly credits her active 4-year-old son.

The beautiful, sleep-deprived mom? Kate Hudson, People reveals in its special issue, which goes on sale Friday.

Was she always such a head-turner? Admits the actress: “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. But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed.”

Her best time for looking good, she says, comes “at the end of the night, when everything’s soaked in and I’m still up. I like the leftover makeup in the morning. You’ve got to wash your face but there’s always the leftover eye makeup, I love that.”

Kate Hudson has teamed up with her stylist to launch a new range of cruelty-free, environmentally-friendly hair products. The Fool’s Gold star felt compelled to do something after reading about all the chemicals she massages into her scalp every time she washes her hair.

The 29-year-old star’s new David Babaii For WildAid line features shampoos and conditioners that are free of sulphates and petrochemicals that are harmful to the environment.

She says, “All these things that we use to penetrate the scalp and our skin, some of them are the worst things we can put on our body. It’s very difficult to make a purely organic product that can pass the sustainability test and that can have a shelf life, but we came up with our shampoos, and we did it. It lathers, it works. I use it, and it doesn’t have all the bad stuff in it.”

Hudson admits the revolutionary new haircare range took two years of developing and testing to create - using her famous blonde locks as a testing ground.
The success of the WildAid brand has now prompted the star to start work on a new cosmetics line.

Kate Hudson is amused by her reputation as a serial man kisser, insisting she’s a prude in reality.

The Fool’s Gold beauty blames “gossips” for wildly exaggerating her behavior with potential suitors on single nights out. Hudson admits she used to be uninhibited in her pursuit of men, but she’s becoming much more reserved in the company of single males with the onset of time.

She says, “There are a lot of gossips who like to think that I’m a snogger (deep kisser), but I’m pretty prudish. I need to find that 18-year-old in me again, who was way more adventurous when it came to kissing boys. I’m not really like that anymore.”

When it comes to dating, Kate Hudson wants to get in touch with her inner teenager.

“I need to find that 18-year-old in me again, who was way more adventurous when it came to kissing boys,” she told the U.K.’s Sunday Times. “I would love nothing more than to have a good, honest make out sesh, but I find it really hard because I’m a mom.”

Hudson split from Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson in 2006, but their marriage produced their 4-year-old son Ryder.

“Any guy I ever meet is always going to come second to my son,” the Fool’s Gold star, 28, told the paper. “And you get to weed out the boys from the men. You definitely know which ones are the boys.”

So far, it seems Owen Wilson has made the cut. The duo – who split last summer but are now back on-again – were even spotted on an Easter-day bike ride with Ryder.

“I’m a mom and that’s my first priority,” said Hudson. “I can’t wait to have more. I’m at that place when I’m ready to have another one and Chris and I are not together. I’m like, ‘Oh no! Uh-oh! I’m ready.’ ”
