There is some serious paternity drama potentially going on with Owen Wilson’s new baby, if Star Magazine is to be believed. In late January, Star ran a story that Owen Wilson’s girlfriend and the mother of his not yet one-month old son cheated on her live-in boyfriend with Owen. Owen’s girlfriend Jade Duell, 28, (here’s a link to a photo of her) worked as a federal air marshall and was in a serious relationship with another air marshall when she hooked up with Owen. Now Star is doubling down and claims to have “multiple sources” who suggest that Jade was with her boyfriend up until the time she got pregnant, meaning that the baby might not be Owen’s. Jade met Owen on a flight in 2009 and they had a long distance affair that supposedly didn’t become exclusive until Jade got knocked up. Here’s more from Star, and it sounds like their source is Jade’s ex:
“Around the time Jade got pregnant, she was still living and sleeping with her now ex-boyfriend,” and insider tells Star in a bombshell exclusive. “I don’t know if even she can say for sure who the father is!”
According to multiple sources, Jade was hooking up with Owen behind the back of her live-in lover, fellow air marshal Jason Hawryschuk. “They had bought a house in Virginia together,” says the insider. “Jason had no idea she was cheating on him with Owen.”
Owen, 42, first met Jade on a cross-country flight from LA to Washington, DC, in 2009, and their whirlwind affair took off quickly. “They were meeting up quite often, and she introduced him to some of her friends,” says the insider. “He would fly Jade off to California and Hawaii, but they were definitely not excclusive.”
That changed when Jade, 28, discovered she was expecting. “She immediately started making plans to move to Los Angeles,” reveals the insider. Jason finally found out about the affair when a coworker Jade confided in spilled the beans. When contacted by Star, Jason refused to comment.
If Owen turns out not to be the father… “He will be devastated.”

Those details sound sketchy, but it also sounds like Jade’s ex Jason has an axe to grind. This woman seems to have a pattern of cheating on her longterm boyfriends. That earlier article in Star claimed she was living with another guy, a different air marshall she bought a house with, back in 2007 when she ditched him similar to how she got rid of the next one. From the way Star worded the story, the other ex wasn’t sure she was cheating but suspected it. “They started drifting apart and [he] started thinking something fishy was going on. All of a sudden Jade told him she wants to move out. Within a few weeks she had a new boyfriend and [the ex] got stuck with the bills.”
Whatever is going on with this woman, she’s pissed off a few exes in her time. Hopefully the baby is Owen’s though. He recently gushed about being a dad and said “You really do have this bond, this real connection with this thing that a month ago wasn’t even here.” When asked if his son, Robert Ford, looked like him, Owen said “Babies look a lot more like other babies than they ever do like their parents. That’s what I’ve begun to notice.”
