Owen Wilson is dating supermodel Le Call.

The 'Wedding Crashers' star, who has been spotted enjoying the company of the blonde beauty several times in the last week, is said to be smitten with Le.

Owen and Le were first seen taking a yoga class at Bikram Yoha in SoHo last week, then spotted enjoying a cycle ride around New York. The couple also attended a private dinner for British artist Damien Hirst at Lever House on Saturday (10.11.07).

One onlooker told the New York Post newspaper: "They certainly looked cosy. Le Call is a stunning woman and Owen couldn't seem to keep his eyes off her."

Meanwhile, it has been reported Jessica Simpson, who has been romantically linked with Owen, only dated the Hollywood actor to drum up publicity for her upcoming country music album.

A source told MSNBC: "When Jess last had a new album coming out, that's when she was introduced to John Mayer, who she started a relationship with. Now she's got her first country album coming out, so now she's been conveniently introduced to Owen, who is a fellow Texan. Better yet, the public is sympathetic to him."

Owen and Jessica first met on the set of a Willie Nelson music video last month.

In August, Owen was rushed to hospital with slashed wrists following a reported suicide attempt.

The 38-year-old star was said to be heartbroken following his split from actress Kate Hudson in June.
