Afterwards, she was married to Revolutionary Road filmmaker Sam Mendes from 2003-2011. The actor’s chosen to keep the reasons for both of her divorces a secret for the sake of privacy.
“No one really knows what has happened in my life. No one really knows why my first marriage didn’t last; no one knows why my second didn’t. And I’m proud of those silences,” she once told the Wall Street Journal.

Kate Winslet has been a Hollywood favorite ever since her breakout role in the 1997 blockbuster hit "Titanic" alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. And just like her career has taken off, so has her love life. The actor's romances first began playing out in the public eye in 1998 when she married film director Jim Threapleton, though the two eventually got divorced. She was later married and divorced again, this time with British director Sam Mendes.
Back in September 2015, Winslet opened up about being divorced twice in an interview with WSJ Magazine. "I know lots of people who are not in the public eye who have gone through several marriages, I really do, and it's just those are the cards that life dealt me," she said. "I didn't plan on its being that way. And f*ck me, it hasn't been easy, you know."

The time was also enough to beat Cruise’s record of six minutes, which he did for a sequence in 2015’s “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation”.
Speaking to USA Today, Winslet shared her reaction to beating the actor’s record: “Poor Tom.”
She then admitted that even Cruise must be a little annoyed that she surpassed him with the stunt.
“I mean, I don’t know Tom at all – I’ve never met him in my life – but I’m sure he’s getting very fed up of hearing this story of how I broke his record,” she laughed.

Kate Winslet has revealed why she felt it was “really important” for I Am Ruth to be set in “a middle-class world”.
Winslet stars as concerned mother Ruth, in Channel 4’s newest instalment of director Dominic Savage’s I Am anthology series, whose daughter Freya slowly retreats into herself as the pressures of social media begin to weigh on her.

It took about six months and, in the end, she accepted a discounted sale price of $5.3 million on a nearly $5.7 million asking price, but award-winning Mare of Easttown star Kate Winslet has shed her duplex penthouse condo in Manhattan’s artsy and affluent West Chelsea Arts District. The sale was first yammered about by the eagle-eyed property gossips at the New York Post. A few quick tabulations on the abacus suggest that with improvement expenses and real estate fees factored in Winslet didn’t make much, if any, profit on the just over 3,000-square-foot urban aerie that she and now ex-husband, Oscar-winning filmmaker Sam Mendes, picked up nearly 17 years ago for $4.995 million. Tax records show Winslet bought out Mendes in 2012.
The loft-like four-bedroom and 3.5-bath home, which Winslet previously floated as a rental at $30,000 per month, features 13-foot ceilings, whitewashed wide plank oak floors and more than two dozen oversized...

Kate Winslet's husband Edward Abel Smith will never let go of this last name. During the Jan. 14 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the Titanic actress explained why her spouse changed his moniker. "So his birth name is Abel Smith," the Oscar winner said. "And as time went by and Ned became Ned—who is quite an original personality—he just decided at one point in his life to just change his name to Rocknroll. Ned Rocknroll. So when I met him, his name was Ned Rocknroll. This is completely true." However, not everyone took kindly to the decision. Winslet noted the name was well-received in America, but in England, "not so much." "When he changed...
