Kate Winslet Splits From Husband Sam Mendes
Posted by Adam
BRITISH actress Kate Winslet has split from her director husband Sam Mendes.
The couple — who have been married for six years — went their separate ways earlier this year, according to a statement from law firm Schillings.
“Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year,” said the statement.
“The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement.
“Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children. They ask that the media respect their privacy at this time.”
Kate and Sam have one child together — Joe Alfie Winslet Mendes, 6.
It is the second marriage for Oscar-winner Kate, who wed film assistant Jim Threapleton in 1998 before divorcing in 2001 — the couple had one child, 10-year-old Mia.
Winslet admitted last year she decided to lay low following her Best Actress Oscar win for The Reader in order to spend time with her family
“I was in hiding a little bit, just doing family stuff and very little work,” she said.
“To be honest, I felt so over-exposed this time last year with the Golden Globes and the Oscar. It was fantastic and everything, but I was sick of me, let alone what other people must have felt.”
