In the November issue, the actress and mother of two, opened up to the magazine about her divorce from director Sam Mendes and how aspects of her life have changed. After the couple split in March 2010, divorce proceedings began while she was filming Mildred Pierce, bringing her personal anguish into the Emmy winning role.
“There’s a scene where Mildred and Bert are divorced and they sit down together, because they’ve got to settle on a cause. The first stage of my divorce with Sam came through on the very day that we were shooting. So that scene is nothing to do with acting.”
Winslet shared that her first reaction to the break-up was to bottle up her emotions before a friend encouraged her to let everything out.
“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.”
The 35-year-old is also reportedly dating Sir Richard Branson’s nephew Ned Rocknroll. The two met following the house fire on Branson’s private island where they were both guests at the time.
“I do truly feel that I’m back. I feel that I’m just at the beginning of a new narrative, and it’s incredibly exciting. It’s complicated, I know, and uncertain but it’s where life happens, between the cracks. It can be a painful process, but I truly hope that never stops for me.”
