Oscar-winning couple Kate Winslet and her director husband Sam Mendes
announced on Monday that they have separated after less than seven years of
marriage.
"Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this
year," Keith Schilling of London law firm Schillings said in a 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 the privacy of the family," the statement added.
The marriage was the second for Winslet, 34, who won a best actress Oscar
for her role in the 2008 Holocaust-themed movie "The Reader". She was divorced
from her first husband, assistant director Jim Threapleton in 2001, after three
years.
Winslet also won critical praise and a Golden Globe for "Revolutionary
Road" in 2008, a heart-wrenching portrait of a failed 1950s marriage that was
directed by Mendes.
Mendes, 44, who like Winslet is British, is well-known for both his stage
and film work. He won a best director Oscar for his 1999 movie debut "American
Beauty".
The announcement of the separation took Hollywood watchers by surprise as
there were no published reports of trouble in their marriage. Yet, when Winslet
appeared in Los Angeles for the March 7 Oscars, she was not accompanied by
Mendes.
The pair married in 2003 and split their time between New York and England.
They have one son together, and Winslet has a nine-year-old daughter, Mia, with
Threapleton.
Winslet's big Hollywood breakthrough came in blockbuster "Titanic" in which
she starred with Leonardo DiCaprio. She and DiCaprio reunited on screen in
"Revolutionary Road."
