Does Luke Wilson Have a Wife? The Actor Was Once Linked to Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow

Luke Wilson’s wife would be a lucky lady. However, it’s unclear if the actor who played one of the best film boyfriends in “Legally Blonde” is even dating.

Like his brother Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson has yet to settle down with one person. He has a habit of dating his beautiful co-stars and has been linked to many A-listers in his career. Their older brother, Andrew Wilson, is divorced.

Here is what we know about the brunette Wilson brother’s dating history, including fascinating insight from his most famous ex and the snaps the UK press got of him with a potential new romantic partner.

Luke Wilson Is Not Married, but He Dated Several Famous Women in the Past

Over the years, the actor has been linked to “The Royal Tenenbaums” co-star Gwyneth Paltrow in the early 2000s, Joy Bryant, and former Playmate and actress Jennifer Walcott.

Luke’s last public relationship was with Alison Eastwood in 2005, whose sister, Francesca Eastwood, starred with him in “Outlaws and Angel” a decade later. The star told HollywoodLife in January 2019 that he was seeing someone but did not give details about his “Valentine.”

Paparazzi took photos of the “Zombieland: Double Tap” actor leaving the Ham Yard Hotel in Soho, London, with an unidentified brunette on Friday, September 2, 2022. The pair appeared to be holding hands as they departed the hotel.

Luke Wilson Dated Other People While in a Relationship with Drew Barrymore

In “Home Fries,” Luke’s character falls in love with the pregnant former mistress, portrayed by Drew Barrymore, of his late father. The pair’s real-life relationship was much less complicated, though still not entirely socially acceptable to the traditional set.

The actor was called out in a way one might expect from a broody parent over Christmas lunch.

The couple reportedly started dating after their first film together, “Best Men” in 1997, and was a red carpet fixture in the late ’90s. At the turn of the century, they were in “Charlie’s Angels” with her partner at that time, Tom Green.

Barrymore reminisced with her friend Kate Hudson about when they met in their “young and wild” days and her youthful dalliance with Luke on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” They laughed about the fact that Luke was probably seeing other people.

The host clarified that they were in an open relationship. Hudson, who had an on-off relationship with Owen Wilson after their flick “You, Me and Dupree,” joked that she had also been there with a Wilson. On dating in one’s twenties, the “Never Been Kissed” star said:

“It’s so fun when you’re young because it’s low-stakes!”

Luke Wilson Recently Admitted He Was Ready to Become a Father

The actor was called out in a way one might expect from a broody parent over Christmas lunch. A journalist, who has reported on Luke since he moved to Hollywood, reminded him that he said in 1996 that he wanted to be a dad.

The nosey writer wanted to know if he had progressed on this front. Luke, born September 21, 1971, said in 2019, “I definitely want to start a family. I love my niece and my nephews.” He said that his own dad loved fatherhood.

With fifty around the corner then, the “Legally Blonde” star said he would have to get started if he wanted to create a family of his own. For now, the closest he gets to fatherhood is being Uncle Luke to Joseph, Andrew’s children, and Finn, Robert, and Lyla, Owen’s progeny.

According to his ex Varunie Vongsvirates, Owen Wilson has never met their daughter, Lyla. By Luke’s statement about his “niece and nephews,” one can infer this is not true for all the Wilson brothers.
