Wilson's ex stunned by suicide bid

Owen Wilson's ex-girlfriend is still struggling to come to terms with the fact the movie star tried to take his own life.

Australian fashion designer Stephanie Conley briefly dated the Wedding Crashers star in 2005, and insists she's still close to Wilson.

She admits she was stunned when she heard the news her ex had been hospitalised in Los Angeles after attempting suicide at his home in Santa Monica, California on Sunday.

Speaking to the Sydney Daily Telegraph, Conley says: "I am terribly upset about the situation. I was totally shocked to hear about it and I'm still struggling to understand what went wrong."

She reveals she had holidayed with Wilson in Europe just a month ago and found the actor to be in very high spirits.

She adds: "He was having such an amazing time.

"Obviously something has gone very wrong in his personal life since then but he was so happy - I just don't understand."

Since splitting from Wilson, Conley has dated Naomi Watts' brother Ben.
