Kate Winslet’s 1st Husband Isolated Her from Family - She Divorced Him Shortly After Welcoming Their Baby

After experiencing two difficult divorces, Kate Winslet is finally enjoying her beautiful marriage with her third husband. Here are the details of her previous marriages.

Superstar actress Kate Winslet, a popular figure in Hollywood since her record-breaking performance in "Titanic," has dazzled fans with brilliant performances over the years. The British icon has a movie catalog that many veteran actors can only fantasize about.

Winslet has been under the media spotlight away from her on-screen feats and has faced significant scrutiny in recent years due to her personal life.

The actress is currently married to Edward Abel Smith, but she has been in various other relationships. One of Winslet's most talked-about romances was her relationship with Scriptwriter Stephen Tredre, her first love.

The pair first met in London when the actress was 15 and Tredre was 28. The lovebirds fell in love and started dating. Sadly, their relationship did not last long, but they remained friends.

In 1994, Tredre was diagnosed with bone cancer, and three years later, he passed away. His funeral was fixed, but it clashed with the LA premiere of "Titanic."

As one of the major stars in the movie, Winslet was expected to attend the event, but she opted for Tredre's funeral in England.

WINSLET AND LEO DICAPRIO'S ROMANCE RUMOR

After "Titanic" premiered in 1997, Winslet became a fan favorite due to her excellent portrayal of Rose DeWitt. The role saw the actress star as Jack Dawson's love interest, played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Due to their immense on-screen chemistry, many fans believed the pair's relationship was more profound than it appeared.

In days, rumors of a possible relationship between Winslet and DiCaprio made the rounds. Even though fans wanted a romance between the two, the actress debunked all speculations, noting that her relationship with DiCaprio was platonic.

During an interview, Winslet addressed supporters who were disappointed with the nature of her and the actor's friendship. In her words:

"It's so disappointing for people to hear that because, in the soap opera of the Kate and Leo story, we fell in love at first sight and had a million snogs, but we never did."

Even though the movie stars were never romantically involved, they are still in each other's lives and maintain a healthy friendship.

INSIDE WINSLET AND JIM THREAPLETON'S LOVE STORY

Winslet first met Jim Threapleton, her first husband, in 1997 on the set of the indie movie "Hideous Kinky." Not long after, the former couple started dating and eventually tied the knot in November 1998.

Winslet was only 23 when she walked down the aisle with Threapleton in a low-key ceremony at her local church in Reading, England.

THE TROUBLES IN WINSLET AND THREAPLETON'S MARRIAGE

Winslet and Threapleton's marriage appeared perfect, but over a year into the union, the ex-couple began experiencing challenges.

The actress revealed that she had become a completely different person during an interview. According to Winslet, she was isolated from her friends and family. Also, the "Titanic" star claimed that her ex-husband did not want her to be famous, so she had to look for supporting roles.

Winslet alleged that Threapleton would read a script she loved and say it was not good enough for her. The man's words would immediately kill Winslet's passion, and she would lose control of her instincts.

Unfortunately, the issues had eaten deep into the marriage that the birth of the duo's daughter, Mia, in 2000 could not repair the union.

In 2001, less than three years into the marriage, Winslet and Threapleton called it quits. The actress noted that their daughter would remain the priority in a statement.

INSIDE WINSLET'S SECOND MARRIAGE

Shortly after her divorce, Winslet found love again in the arms of British Film and Stage Director Sam Mendes.

The pair first met in 2001 when the director approached Winslet and expressed his desire to cast her in two of his plays at London's Donmar Warehouse Theater.

Even though the actress was not interested in doing plays, she accepted Mendes's offer. After their first lunch, Winslet became interested in Mendes and wanted his number. She even organized a casual barbecue and made sure to run into the director again.

It was only a matter of time before the pair became romantically involved. In May 2003, the couple secretly tied the knot on a whim while on holiday in Anguilla. Winslet confessed that they never planned to marry, but they did because they thought it was a great idea.

The pair welcomed their son not long after, on December 22, 2003. Winslet and Mendes's publicist made the announcement, noting that the couple was delighted. Unfortunately, the duo's union was destined to crumble, despite welcoming a son.

After being married for almost seven years, Winslet and Mendes separated in 2010. In a statement, Keith Schilling of the legal firm Schillings revealed that the stars were saddened by what happened and were fully committed to the joint parenting of their kids.

After the divorce, Winslet held interviews about her relationship with Mendes. In one of the chat sessions, the actress revealed that she and the director were okay, and she would never use insulting words on him, despite their tough separation.

Although Winslet won custody of the kids, they decided to relate amicably aside from their differences.

Through all the challenges the actress faced during the divorce, she had the support and encouragement of her long-time friend, Leonardo DiCaprio.

WINSLET AND EDWARD SMITH'S RELATIONSHIP

Winslet and Edward Smith first met around 2010 at Smith’s uncle, Richard Branson’s private holiday venue, Necker Island. During the visit, the house caught a massive fire.

They got engaged in 2012 and also tied the knot the same year. The following year, they welcomed their first child and son, Bear. Winslet is grateful for her husband, noting that he is supportive and means the world to her and their son.
