 It appears as though I've become one of the "go-to" experts for a very nice (and smart, of course) Us Weekly reporter, because she called me again -- this time to ask for my impressions about Kate Hudson's break-up with Owen Wilson. Not that I know Kate or Owen personally, mind you. But the magazine was interested in understanding why relationships that begin as extra-marital affairs usually don't seem to last. You can read my expert opinions in the article "The End of the Affair" which begins on page 56 of the January 15th edition. But in case you can't wait to get to your local newstand, here's what I had to say about why their breakup may have been inevitable, "Those relationships don't last because they're an escape from dealing with the real issues in another relationship," Janice D. Bennett, an NYC-based clinical psychologist, tells Us. "For Kate, it's likely that Owen's purpose changed from being a distraction, which he probably did very well, to 'Let's see if we can make this into a real relationship.' Which completely changes the rules." They decided to use my "psychologist" moniker, not "relationship-coach" this time -- but I was quoted correctly and my name was spelled right! And it's gratifying to have national exposure! I'll have pdf copies of the article (which includes lots of photos of Owen, Kate and even her mom, Goldie Hawn) to send out if it's for your own personal use. Just go to the "contact us" page to request one.
