On October 5, 2024, Kate Winslet turned 49 years old. The actress was popularized by playing Rose in the iconic film "Titanic." The Hollywood star has played many outstanding roles and collaborated with renowned directors. However, there are collaborations she wouldn’t choose to repeat today.

Kate Winslet is a talented actress whose role in "Titanic" brought her immense popularity. She has numerous other unforgettable roles. In recent years, she has captivated audiences with her performance in the series Mare of Easttown, where she played a detective investigating a murder case while coping with personal demons. Winslet also starred in productions by Roman Polanski, which she later openly regretted.

On October 5, 2024, Winslet turned 49. She is a happy wife and mother, though she experienced several tumultuous relationships before finding peace with her current husband.

"I have to take responsibility"

In the past, Kate Winslet collaborated with Roman Polanski (in the film Carnage from 2011) and Woody Allen (in the production Wonder Wheel from 2017). The star admitted that she is not proud of these collaborations, given the accusations both directors faced.

- What was I doing working with Woody Allen and Roman Polanski? It's unbelievable to me now how those men were held in such high regard, so widely in the film industry and for as long as they were. It's disgraceful - she said in Vanity Fair.

She added that while time cannot be turned back, she regrets choosing to work with men about whom disturbing rumours had circulated for years.

- I have to take responsibility for the fact that I worked with them both. I can’t turn back the clock. I’m grappling with those regrets but what do we have if we aren’t able to just be truthful about all of it? - she emphasized in the same interview.

Third time's the charm?

Kate Winslet's first husband was Jim Threapleton, whom she married in 1998. The couple had a daughter. Unfortunately, the marriage did not withstand the test of time - in 2001, they divorced. Winslet later married director Sam Mendes in 2003, and they welcomed their son Joe in December of the same year. However, this relationship also ended.

In 2010, rumours about Winslet and Mendes's separation began. The actress was deeply affected by the tabloid stories, which blamed the breakup on her, claiming she had grown bored with her husband.The actress emphasized that the way the media wrote about their divorce was really brutal.

After the divorce, Winslet was linked with model Louis Dowler, a relationship that lasted a few months. Then, Edward Abel Smith appeared in her life. The couple married in 2012 and had a son, Bear, a year after their wedding. Winslet and Smith are still together today.
