Kate Winslet's Romantic History Through the Years
3
Winslet and Jim met in 1997 on the set of "Hideous Kinky," in which she starred as Julia and he worked as a third assistant director. The two wed in 1998 and split in 2001, just one year after welcoming their daughter, Mia Threapleton. Winslet opened up about her relationship with Jim in a 2006 interview with Parade (via CBS News). "I thought I wanted to be with him," she explained. "I was dealing with the pain of having lost Stephen and 'Titanic' coming out. Jim was just a regular guy, and that had a big impact on me."
Jim also spoke out about his split from Winslet in an interview with The Guardian in August 2007 and shared how he worked things out with her husband at the time in regards to their daughter. "I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for his work, and subsequently, I've found out over the years that he's a fantastic person to be in Mia's life," he said. "The hardest thing with divorce when children are involved is working out how the new relationship will work. You are obligated to generate new terms of friendship quickly, and I had beers with Sam as soon as possible so that there was never going to be this sense that we couldn't talk."
