Louis Dowler Is a Professional Model

Dowler's father, Alexander, served as a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy. He lived in Penzance, Cornwall, when Dowler was born in 1975. At that time, the family had no idea that the newest addition to their family would grow up to be the embodiment of perfection.

When asked about the details of his breakup, Dowler wasn't ready to reveal everything.

After completing his primary schooling at Hayle, Dowler studied at Penzance's Humphry Davy Secondary School. Then, he pursued his higher education in South Wales before beginning his modeling career in London, where he worked with big names, including Burberry and Louis Vuitton.

Dowler entered the world of modeling by following his younger brother, Ross, who couldn't do as well as him. Besides Ross, Dowler has three elder siblings; one brother and two sisters. All five siblings now live in different cities, while Dowler's parents reside near his sister, Philippa, in the Orkneys.

After Winslet's marriage with Sam Mendes went downhill, she began dating Dowler, who was ten years younger than her director ex-husband. Their romance developed quickly, and they appeared in public for the first time at the San Sebastian Film Festival in September 2010. That's when most people learned about their budding relationship.

While dating the professional model, Winslet even visited his family and had a great time with him. Their fans thought they would continue their relationship, but the couple only stayed together for four months. However, Dowler wasn't too happy about breaking up with his girlfriend. He said:

"I was in love with her, and you can't switch that off overnight."

When asked about the details of his breakup, Dowler wasn't ready to reveal everything. Keeping things private, he said, "I'm a laid-back guy, so I am not walking around with a long face — but I do still hold a torch for her."

Louis Dowler Was Married to Jennifer Esposito

After experiencing unexpected emotions while parting ways with his girlfriend, Dowler didn't stop dating women. Years after his breakup with Winslet, he made it to the news when Jennifer Esposito revealed her engagement.

The "Crash" actress was on Katie Couric's talk show to discuss her struggle with Celiac disease, her gluten-free bakery, Jennifer's Way, and her book. The camera panned to her beautiful diamond ring during the show as she spoke about her fiancé, Dowler. Among other things about him, she said:

"He's lovely!"

Besides supporting her during difficult times, Dowler liked baking for her bakery venture. On that show, Esposito revealed they had picked a date for their wedding, but she didn't announce when her second wedding would occur.

On November 16, 2014, Dowler and Esposito got married in New York City. Their fans were excited about the couple's new journey together, but no one knew their marriage was to be short-lived.

After her marriage, Esposito wanted to expand Jennifer's Way with the help of investors, but things didn't go as planned. Instead, the same investors and her husband sued her for $43 million in March 2016. The news saddened Esposito-Dowler fans because it meant the couple would soon part ways.

In her defense, Esposito stated that the lawsuit was meant to kick her out of her business. She said she had no control over the operations. Meanwhile, the "Don't Say a Word" actress filed for divorce, claiming she was mistreated. She revealed:

"Like he did during the short-lived marriage to me, Dowler now seems to be aligning himself with individuals he thinks could best earn him money."

While Esposito's bakery closed down, no updates about Dowler were available after the divorce. His Instagram account is closed to the public, and he hasn't been in the news.
