Winslet finally found her happily ever after with Smith — who used to be known as Ned Rocknroll — after meeting him in 2011 during a holiday at Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island estate, per Us Weekly. The couple was engaged the following year and married that same year. "I can confirm that Kate Winslet married Ned Rocknroll in NY earlier this month in a private ceremony attended by her two children and a very few friends and family," Winslet's rep told Us Weekly in December 2012. "The couple had been engaged since the summer." The duo welcomed their son, Bear Blaze Winslet, in December 2013.
In an interview with The New York Times in June 2021, Winslet praised her husband for being the best caretaker of both her and their son and for always being there for her no matter what they need. "He looks after us, especially me. I said to him earlier, like, 'Neddy, could you do something for me?' He just went, 'Anything,'" she shared. "He is an absolutely extraordinary life partner."
"I'm so, so, so lucky. For a man who is severely dyslexic, as he is, he's great at testing me on lines," she added of Smith helping her with work. "It's so hard for him to read out loud, but he still does it."
