'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,' an insider told the National Enquirer.

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

Duell and Robert are said to have moved to New York to be with her family while Wilson remains based in Santa Monica, California.

The 42-year-old actor showed no signs of strain on June 18 when he walked the red carpet at the Cars 2 premier in Los Angeles.

In the Disney/Pixar sequel, Wilson voices the leading role of Lightning McQueen, the star racer of the 2006 animated film.

Wilson shocked his family, friends and fans with his suicide attempt four years ago when he tried to overdose on prescription pills and slashed his wrists after splitting up with girlfriend Kate Hudson.

Since then the Little Fockers star seemed to have gotten his life back on track by embracing fatherhood when son Robert Ford Wilson was born n January 14 of this year.

He told told U.S. entertainment show Access Hollywood: 'I was never like somebody who was like, 'Oh gosh, it's a little baby! Let me hold it.

'They're so fragile, but then when it is your own, all of a sudden you feel a lot more confident. You really do have this bond, this real connection with this thing that a month ago wasn't even here It is strange... Their cries are like beautiful music!'

Fans were surprised when Jade's pregnancy was announced four days before the birth of her son, as it had not been public knowledge that the Midnight In Paris actor was even dating her.

It was then revealed that he and Jade met last year when the air marshal sat next to him on a flight.

A spokesperson was not available for comment when contacted by Mail Online.
