Ned rock'n'roll. Kate Winslet is getting divorced for the third time. All about Kate Winslet's wedding celebration with Ned Rocknroll

The end of December 2012 was marked by such an event as the wedding of Kate Winslet and Ned Rocknroll. The 37-year-old actress got married for the third time! Ned Rocknroll is the nephew of Sir Richard Branson, an industrial magnate. The bride was led to the altar by none other than Leonardo DiCaprio, the actress's partner in the movie Titanic.

All about Kate Winslet's wedding celebration with Ned Rocknroll

According to the data provided by the representative of the star to one of the sites, it became known that the wedding celebration really took place and was held in New York. The wedding took place in December last year. The marriage ceremony was held in private. It was attended only by relatives, a few close friends and Kate's two children.

It is known that the celebration was so secret that even the bride's parents had no idea that the girl was going to get married again. The groom's father told The Sun that he knew nothing about the wedding, but when it comes to Kate and Nede, nothing is surprising.

Actor Steven Tredr was the first love of the actress. Kate spent five years with him. Alas, at the age of 34, Stephen died of cancer. It happened shortly after filming of Titanic ended.

In the life of Kate Winslet, this wedding is not the first. The 12-year-old daughter of the actress, Mia, was born in the star's first marriage. Then Jim Trepleton became her chosen one. The marriage with Jim lasted for three years, and in 2001 they broke up.

The second marriage of the actress took place in 2003. Then she became the legal wife of director Sam Mendes. The marriage ceremony in honor of this union was also held in secrecy in the Caribbean. The participants of this holiday were only three friends and Mia - Kate's daughter. After 7 years - in March 2010, Sam and Kate had a son, who was named Joe. In 2011, Kate divorced Sam.
After the divorce, the actress said that she did not want her children to suffer because both marriages did not work out and that she was not going to lose heart.

Kate met her third husband in 2011 on her own island (Necker Island) Sir Richard Branson - Ned's uncle. The star arrived there accompanied by a young man - model Louis Dowler. The name of the actress got into the media when she literally pulled Mr. Branson's mother out of a burning building. The building caught fire when Hurricane Irene hit the island.

Kate and Ned very quickly declared themselves a couple officially, as a spark broke out between them at the first meeting. One of the people who are part of the close circle of the young, then said that Kate loves Ned very much and that he is the only man for her.
Ned Rocknroll, prior to his marriage to Kate, was married to Eliza Cowdray, the daughter of multibillionaire Viscount Cowdray. The wedding of the young people took place in 2009 in Sussex - the family mansion of the bride. In 2010, young people divorced.

In December, Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet gave birth to a son with her husband, millionaire Ned Rocknroll, and added to the list of celebrities who give their children extremely strange names. It all started with Gwyneth Paltrow, who named her daughter Apple, which means "Apple". Actress Shannyn Sossamon named her child Audio Science - "Audio Science". Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have christened North West's daughter Northwest. But Kate Winslet, perhaps, surpassed everyone - she named her third child Bear Blaze. The literal translation of this name sounds like "Bear-Flame"! No wonder Ellen DeGeneres, whose show actress visited the other day, a logical question arose: why did Kate and Ned choose this particular name?

We chose the name Bear ("Bear") long before our son was born. The fact is that I had an old friend who was called "Bear", so I always really liked this nickname. This guy really was very similar to a bear - he always gave the opportunity to cry on his shoulder, squeezed in a big bear hug. He was a very important person in my life and I remember him often.

The logic is clear. But why did Blaze ("Flame") become the second name?

My husband and I met during a house fire. The house burned down, but we survived. So we wanted our son's middle name to be related to fire, so we chose Blaze.

As it turned out, Kate's son was not given his father's surname "Rocknroll" (which, by the way, Ned invented for himself, changing his real surname to it), but became Bear Blaze Winslet. When Ellen asked the actress why the baby was not called Bear Blaze Rocknroll, Kate answered short and clear:

What do you think, Ellen?

At the recent premiere of the film "Divergent", in which the actress played one of the main roles, she also answered a question about Leonardo DiCaprio. One of the journalists asked her: "Who would she choose - the character of Theo James from" Divergent "or Jack Dawson from" Titanic "? Kate did not think about the answer for a second:

Leo is the love of my life! How can you even ask me such a question?

Kate Winslet makes it clear how grateful she is that her full and fulfilling life has made her the woman she is now, reports Hello magazine.

The 37-year-old Hollywood star and the 34-year-old Virgin employee secretly married in New York in early December. She was led to the altar by her Titanic partner, on-screen lover Leonardo DiCaprio. The ceremony was held in a very narrow circle - only Kate's daughter and son, her family and a few close friends. Her press officer announced the wedding of the actress a few weeks after the ceremony.

Ned RocknRoll is the nephew of British eccentric billionaire Richard Branson. The uncle owns the international corporation Virgin Group, whose various divisions and branches are engaged in the recording business, air and rail transportation, publishing, cellular communications, cable television, racing and even space tourism. The entrepreneur himself repeatedly tried to break world speed records in a balloon and a boat, participated in a reality show, offered a multi-million dollar reward for fighting global warming, founded a stem cell bank, etc.

And it was in the possessions of this outstanding wealthy gentleman - on his private Necker Island in the Caribbean - that the couple met in August 2011 under very non-trivial circumstances. The actress was vacationing in the luxurious estate of her billionaire friend, and was there at that time with her boyfriend. When the fire started in the mansion, Kate was not at a loss and carried Branson's 90-year-old mother out of the burning building in her arms.

Either this brave act ignited love in the heart of married Ned, or frantic gratitude for saving his grandmother made him pay attention to the girl, but since then the couple began to meet. By the way, RocknRoll almost immediately filed for divorce, and a year after they met, the lovers got engaged.

On January 15, 2012, in Los Angeles, at the Golden Globe Film Awards, Kate and Ned made their first public appearance as an official couple. Winslet received the award for Best Actress (Miniseries or TV Movie) for the television series Mildred Pierce. Her companion kissed the winner.

Kate has two divorces behind her. Her first husband in 1998 was assistant director Jim Tripleton, whom the actress met on the set of Express to Marrakech. But the marriage lasted only 3 years. Love could not stand life, the child, Winslet's acting success and the unfulfillment of the young spouse.

The second time the actress was married to the director - Sam Mendes. It was he who directed American Beauty, which won 5 Oscars. A successful, self-confident man attracted Kate with his restraint and reliability. The actress starred with her husband in the film "Revolutionary Road" ", where Leonardo DiCaprio again became her partner. The couple had a son. However, this family was also destined to break up after almost 7 years - in 2010. The official statement spoke of a mutual decision by mutual agreement and not a word - about the reasons.

And after 3 years, Kate Winslet decided on a third marriage. They say the billionaire gave his nephew and girlfriend wedding tickets to space.

According to the actress, the breakup with Mendoza made her stronger personally and professionally. "I really learned a lot about myself over the past 4 years. I think now I see with greater clarity, I have rethought my past," Kate said in an interview with the British magazine Harper's Bazaar... The actress will become the heroine of the April issue.

One of the features that attract Kate in a new husband is a cheerful approach to life. So, his real name is Ned Abel Smith, but he changed it in 2008 to RocknRoll as a reminder that every moment of every day should be spent wisely and enjoying life.

In recent days, information has often been circulated in foreign media that the actress is on the verge of a divorce from her third husband, the nephew of Virgin Company founder Ned Rocknroll.

One of the reasons for such rumors was the fact that the 41-year-old star has not appeared in public with her husband since the beginning of this year. In addition, close friends of the couple talk about frequent disagreements in the star family.

Despite the fact that Ned is a good father for children, Kate is annoyed by the immaturity of her husband, who, moreover, does not work anywhere. The actress also considers her husband soft-bodied and often calls him the fourth child in her circles.

By nature, Ned is more like a child, so Kate most often has to look after not three children, but four. Moreover, now it does not even work. Of course, like any woman, this does not suit her. If anyone now asks Kate about her husband, she only sighs, - said the friends of the actress.

Currently, Kate Winslet is in New York on the set of Woody Allen's film, and her husband currently lives in England, where he looks after the children. However, the actress believes that Ned is too expensive a nanny, because she herself has to work for two to provide for her family.

It is good and easy to spend time with him. And the kids love him a lot, because Ned always plays with them. However, it is very difficult for Kate to act in films all year round in order to feed her husband and three children. Most likely, when she gets tired of all this, the spouse will have to pack her bags, - sources close to the couple share.

Winslet's friends also say that the star is already tired of this whole hopeless situation, and note that Kate calls her husband a traveling hitchhiker who does not care who to go with, as long as he does not have to pay for it.

Kate Winslet has been married to Ned Rocknroll since 2011. Now the couple is raising three children: daughter Mia and son Joe Alfie, born from the actress’s two previous marriages, and common son Bear Blaze, to whom the star gave her surname, since she considers the pseudonym Rocknroll invented by Ned to be completely unsuitable as a surname for the child.

Stephen Tredr

Kate had her first boyfriend at the age of 16. They became Steven Tredr - a partner in the science fiction series "The Dark Season". Tredr was 28 years old, he could not take his admiring glance from his young partner. They were together for 4 years. They broke up in 1995, but Kate always said that they remained close friends. So, in 1997, the actress did not come to the premiere of "Titanic" in London, because on that day they buried Steve, who died of bone cancer.

Rufus Sewell

In 1996, the famous director and actor Kenneth Branagh invited the actress to play the role of Ophelia in the film Hamlet. The role of Fortinbras was played by the burning handsome Rufus Sewell. Kate fell under his spell. The couple's romance ended as quickly as it began. They later met on the set of the film "The Vacation". They say that the spark was not ignited.

Jim Tripleton


In 1997, while filming The Express in Marrakesh, Kate met "the third swan in the sixth row", or rather, the first assistant director. Nice Guy Jim was very different from the narcissistic actors that Kate had to work with. Soon the young people got married, and in 2000 their daughter Mia was born. A year later, the actress fled the rural suburbs back to the city and filed for divorce. The reason, as the stars like to point out, is “irreconcilable differences.”

Sam Mendes


In 2003, the famous director Sam Mendes became Kate's second husband. In the same year, the actress gave birth to a son, Joe Alfie. They say that in their relationship, which seemed ideal for 10 years, there was a lot of things. Looks like it's Sam. He believed that they simply had to fly on different planes so that in the event of a disaster, the children would not be left orphans. Even filming in the film "Revolutionary Road" can hardly be called normal. Kate played a sex scene with her best friend - Leonardo DiCaprio - in front of her director husband. Well hello! Later in an interview, the actress said that "it was an incredibly frightening and strange experience." The marriage collapsed in 2010 with the same insurmountable differences.

Louis Dowler

Tired of the divorce proceedings with Mendez, Kate decided to console herself in the strong hands of the handsome fashion model Louis Dowler. The actress did not even introduce him to her parents. According to others, he was a wonderful tonic pill that acted on Kate for four months. Together with Dowler, she went to Necker Island to rest, where she met her future husband number three.

Ned Rocknroll


They met in 2011, and in December 2012, Winslet went to the altar for the third time with the 34-year-old nephew of the famous British billionaire Richard Branson, Ned Rocknroll. One day, this beautiful young man decided that living with the surname Smith was somehow boring, and announced a competition for the coolest surname. Ned's favorite was Rock 'n' Roll - and voila! Ned has a new last name. Kate likes such a cheerful disposition of her husband. The couple has a son with the name "bear cub" - Bear Blaze Winslet. Apparently, the combination "Rocknroll Bear" even seemed to Kate too much, so the baby inherited the surname from his mother.

Leonardo DiCaprio


How can you not love a guy who, during the filming of Titanic, said to his chubby and complex partner: “Honey, you always think:“ What a fat woman I am. Stop it, you're amazing." Oh… Leo is a real man! So, they met back in 1997 on the set of the all-time movie "Titanic" and immediately became friends. Both have a groovy character and an insane desire to grow professionally. They were often credited with an affair, but both were tired of saying that they were just friends (). The world was looking forward to when they will appear on the screen together again. Despite their friendship, they met in the cinema only 10 years after the Titanic - on the set of the movie Revolutionary Road. And again a triumph. And to look at how Kate listens to Leo's Oscar speech (you remember,), you can only with a handkerchief - it's so touching!
