Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes Separate.

Kate Winslet and director Sam Mendes have announced that after six years of marriage, they have been separated since the beginning of this year.

They have one child together, Joe Alfie Winslet Mendes, and this is the second marriage for Winslet, who was married to film assistant Jim Threapleton in 1998 before divorcing in 2001, and had one child, Mia.

A lawyer for the couple stated,
“Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year. 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 their privacy at this time.”

 So sad. I loved this couple! Hopefully they can work things out.
