It’s fine: Kate Winslet on divorce
Tags:
Opening up about her divorce with director Sam Mendes, actress Kate Winslet says they both have accepted it and moved on but admits it was not easy.
Winslet split from Mendes in March 2010 and in an interview to Harper’s Baazar, the Oscar-winner has spoken about her torment following her divorce.
"One thing I will say about me and Sam is that it's fine, it's really fine. We're grown-ups at the end of the day, and however hard it's been for me, it's been equally hard for him," Winslet said.
"As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on – almost too good. Because you know what it's like– as soon as you open that can of worms, it's so big, you wish you'd never taken the goddamn lid off," Winslet said.
Winslet, 36, said her initial reaction following the break-up was to bottle up her feelings.
"I've had to remind myself to have those moments of being able to have a good cry, but it did take someone putting their hand on me – a gay male friend, actually, who put his hand on my shoulder and said: 'It's OK, you can cry about this, and maybe you should'," Winslet said.
Winslet says she is determined that her children, daughter Mia, from first husband Jim Threapleton and Joe with Mendes, do not get affected "because my marriages haven't worked out."
"I so wish that that wasn't the case, that that hadn't happened in my life, but it has. So I will make the best of it."
The actress is reportedly dating Richard Branson's nephew Ned Rocknroll, 33.
