Kate Winslet Is Expecting Her Third Baby!!! (PEREZ HILTON)


We are officially on baby bump watch, people!

Kate Winslet has confirmed that she is expecting her first baby with husband Ned Rocknroll!

The actress already has 12-year-old Mia and 9-year-old Joe, and since they have regular names, we’re guessing this new addition will too.

Then again, her husband’s name is Rocknroll, so you have to try and play on that, right? RIGHT?!

Kate Winslet becomes Mrs RocknRoll: if it’s down to practice, this will be perfect We can but hope that the 'unusual’ Ned Abel Smith brings the British Hollywood star lasting happiness (TELEGRAPH)


By William Langley7:00AM GMT 30 Dec 2012


It can be only the real thing for the new Mr and Mrs RocknRoll, even if everything else in their lives might appear a touch make-believe. They are old hands at the marriage game, these glamorous thirtysomethings, and you have to hope that this time they know what they’re doing.

Mr RocknRoll, who used to be a popular London party boy called Ned Abel Smith, took Kate Winslet to be his wife at a small, unannounced ceremony shortly before Christmas. The groom, who apparently made up his new name because he didn’t think the old one was enough fun, works for Virgin Galactic as “Head of Marketing Promotion and Astronaut Experience”, a job title he also made up.

According to his former wife, Eliza Pearson, the heiress daughter of Viscount Cowdray, he nevertheless takes the job seriously: “He would say to me, 'There is no destination. The destination is now, now, now,’ ” recalls Eliza. “'The journey is the destination. We’re not trying to get somewhere.’”

Kate Winslet, a different type of aristocrat with her movie career, cheerfully borne bodily imperfections and salty vocab, should be quite a catch. Her two previous husbands clearly thought so, although the complications of marriage have a way of catching her by surprise.

First came little-known London producer Jim Threapleton, whom she met on the set of a film called Hideous Kinky and married in 1998. In early 2001, Kate was on the cover of Glamour magazine, telling the readers why: “My husband is one in a million.” Unfortunately, by the time the edition hit the streets, Mr Threapleton, with whom she has a daughter, Mia, now 12, had been dumped.

Kate Winslet's beau Ned is back on film set (THE SUN)



Actress Kate, 36, enjoyed a hot drink with 33-year-old Ned Rocknroll during a break from shooting Labor Day in Boston, USA.

The British star sports a dowdy blouse and cardigan with unkempt long hair in the film - which sees her play a depressed single mum who gives an escaped convict a lift in her car.

Kate Winslet invited back to Necker for Christmas

Sir Richard Branson has apparently invited actress Kate Winslet and his wackily named nephew Ned Rocknroll to return to his private island Necker for the festive season.

Kate hooked up with Ned, pictured with her left, after they both spent time on the Caribbean island back in the summer - and when Kate famously carried Sir Richard's mum to safety as the house was engulfed in flames.

And now the Virgin tycoon has reportedly invited the pair of them to spend Christmas and New Year on the island as the house is fixed up in advance of his daughter Holly's wedding there early next year.

The Mirror quoted a source as saying: "Richard's invited her and the kids back to thank her for her bravery in saving his mother."

We imagine they'll have to fly the sprouts in, as they probably don't grow locally

Kate Winslet introduces her new beau to her two children

Playing happy families: Ned Rocknroll holds hands with Kate Winslet's son after actress introduces her new beau to her two children

She may have only met him a few months ago but Kate Winslet has decided the time is right to introduce her new beau to her children.

The 36-year-old actress was pictured arriving at Newark airport last night with her boyfriend, Ned Rocknroll, and appeared to be playing happy families.

Ned, 33, was clearly seen holding hands with Kate's youngest child, Joe, 7, as they made their way through the building with airport staff.

The actress's daughter, 11-year-old Mia, was also with them and stayed close to her mother and her new man following their flight.

Kate - who only began dating Ned in August - looked tired as she walked through the terminal.

Wearing black skinny jeans with a matching blazer and flat boots, the Titantic star had roughly tied back her hair and wore a bulky scarf around her neck.

Ned - who is the nephew of business tycoon, Richard Branson - had also dressed comfortably for their flight also wearing black jeans, a hoody and a grey scarf.

He also carried a rucksack with him and didn't hesistate to hold Joe's hand when he realised there was waiting photographers ahead.

Mia, whose father is director, Jim Threapleton, and Joe, who was born in 2003 during Kate's marriage to another director, Sam Mendes, were also dressed casually in trainers and carried winter coats to prepare themselves for the cold New York weather.

But the loved-up couple couldn't keep apart from each other for long, and soon enough Ned found himself holding his famous girlfriend's hand but still kept a watchful eye over her children.

However today the pair decided to spend some along time in the Big Apple as they took a romantic stroll - once again glued together by their hands.

Kate had smartened up for the outing wearing a black double-breasted coat with knee high boots and dark sunglasses.

Ned - who works for Virgin Galactic's Spaceport America - was also wearing some shades, with a pair of denim jeans and Converse trainers.

The pair were laughing and joking with one another as they walked along the street but also shared an intimate moment too as they stopped to get close and whisper in each others ears.

Kate met Ned after she took a trip to his uncle's private island, known as Necker Islands, a few months ago.

The Finding Neverland star was reportedly still dating her on-off model boyfriend, Louis Dowler, when she met Ned.

But after the fire on the Caribbean island - which saw Kate rescue Richard's mother in the early hours of the morning - she returned home to New York having struck up a relationship with Ned.

The tycoon's nephew will soon be divorced from his estranged wife Eliza Pearson, daughter of Viscount Cowdray, and judging by his PDA's with Kate, he might be popping the question sooner than she thought.

Kate Winslet and Ned Rocknroll

She's a big Rocknroll fan! Kate Winslet gazes into new boyfriend Ned's eyes in public display of affection at airport

Just two months ago she was seen lovingly holding hands with her model boyfriend as they left for Richard Branson's private island.

But fast forward to yesterday and Kate Winslet was striking a similar pose with the tycoon's nephew, her new boyfriend Ned Rocknroll.

The 35-year-old was yesterday spotted gazing into her lover's eyes during a sickeningly sweet display of affection as they arrived at Heathrow airport.

And she couldn't tear herself away from him for just a minute as they precariously tried to push their luggage trolley while clinging to one another.

 The couple had been in Las Cruces, New Mexico, for the unveiling of a runway at Virgin Galactic's Spaceport America.

Kate looked casual chic in a blazer and jeans while Ned braved the cool London weather in a white T-shirt and scarf.

The loved-up couple raised eyebrows at the launch when they jokingly swapped ID tags during their date in the desert.

They couldn't keep their hands off each other as they supped champagne at the starry event.

Ned, who works for the commercial space travel company, already changed his surname from Abel Smith by Deed Poll some years ago.

The couple met during a stay on Richard's private Caribbean island Necker in August.

The Titanic actress, who is a mother of two, is thought to have been still seeing on-off model boyfriend Louis Dowler.

But she ended up hitting it off with Ned, 33, who was also holidaying there.

He then accompanied her back home to New York, where she now lives.

During the holiday, A-lister Kate famously carried his mother down a flight of stairs as the holiday home they were staying in burned to the ground.

She split with film director husband Sam Mendes in March last year, and was previously married to director Jim Threapleton.



Meanwhile, Ned will soon be divorced from his estranged wife Eliza Pearson, daughter of Viscount Cowdray.

Spaceport America is a luxury terminal where wealthy tourists will blast into orbit for $200,000 per return trip.

The building will house Virgin Galactic's spacecraft, mission control and a preparation area for travellers when flights begin sometime after the end of 2012.

Kate Winslet's Rocknroll lover divorces his heiress wife

Kate Winslet's boyfriend, Ned Rocknroll, has been granted a divorce from Eliza Pearson, Viscount Cowdray's daughter.

Just days after speaking of the torment that followed the breakdown of her marriage to the director Sam Mendes, Kate Winslet can begin her "new narrative". Mandrake learns that the actress's lover, Ned Rocknroll, has divorced his wife, the heiress Eliza Pearson.
"The decree absolute should come through soon, maybe this month," Pearson tells me, in her first public comments since Rocknroll began his relationship with Winslet.
Ned, the nephew of Sir Richard Branson, changed his surname from Abel Smith by deed poll before he married Pearson, the eldest daughter of Viscount Cowdray, in an open-air pagan ceremony led by a druid in September 2009.
The lavish wedding took place at her family's 17,000-acre Cowdray Park estate in West Sussex. Princess Beatrice, the daughter of the Duke of York, was among the guests.
However, the couple separated after just 20 months. Winslet's friends say she did not begin her relationship with Ned, 33, who works for his uncle's space venture Virgin Galactic, until after his decree nisi was granted on August 10.
Pearson, 23, does not dispute this version of events. "I broke up with Ned," she tells me. "I won't disclose the reason, but the split was very amicable. We're still the best of friends. I'm not seeing anyone else."

The heiress, whose family's wealth is estimated to be more than £1 billion, declines to comment on his relationship with Winslet. Last Sunday, I reported that Rocknroll had bought a vintage love locket for the 36-year-old star of Titanic that cost thousands of pounds.

"They are very serious about each other," says another of Winslet's friends. The couple have, however, tried to avoid being photographed together.

Confusingly, Pearson declared in July: "I've changed my mind about divorce. I am hoping this will turn out to be more of a break than a total separation, because the longer we are apart the more it's making me realise how much I miss him."

She added: "It went wrong, but it's not as if it was a shotgun wedding – we'd been together for four years. I have never stopped loving him and we are soulmates – that doesn't come along very often."
Winslet, who announced her separation from Mendes, the director of American Beauty, in March last year, said: "One thing I will say about me and Sam is that it's fine, it's really fine.

"We're grown-ups, and, however hard it's been for me, it's been equally hard for him."

The actress has a son, Joe, aged seven, by Mendes. She also has a daughter, Mia, who turned 11 on Wednesday, by her first husband, Jim Threapleton.

Kate Winslet: Divorce Was "Hard" for Sam Mendes and Me



US Weekly

 Celebrity News October 4, 2011 AT 10:34AM


Kate Winslet: Divorce Was "Hard" for Sam Mendes and MeCredit: Kevin Mazur/WireImage.com
Kate Winslet has garnered worldwide acclaim -- plus an Oscar and many nominations -- for capturing the anguish of romantic heartache onscreen.
It helps that the actress, who turns 36 Tuesday, knows from experience. In March 2010, she and Revolutionary Road director Sam Mendes ended their marriage of seven years.

"One thing I will say about me and Sam is that it's fine, it's really fine," the star tells Harper's Bazaar UK -- and she has no intention of slinging mud or worse at her second husband. "I'm not going to s***fling, there's no point in even going there. It is what it is."
Shooting her Emmy-winning role in the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce amidst the split came especially naturally, she admitted. "There's a scene where Mildred and Bert are divorced and they sit down together, because they've got to settle on a cause," Winslet explained. "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."

One key to keeping the peace with Mendes: the couple's son, Jack, 7. "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. And we have a child together who we both love - and raising him together, jointly and without any conflict, is absolutely key," Winslet explains.
And Winslet has been through this before, too. She has a daughter, Mia, nearly 12, with her first husband Jim Threapleton.

"[Co-parenting with an ex] is the only way to do it, and I've really learnt that with Mia," Winslet explains.
And as far as the future -- Winslet is now dating "Ned Rocknroll," the wild nephew of Richard Branson -- the star is ready for whatever comes.
"I feel that I'm just at the beginning of a new narrative, and it's incredibly exciting," she tells Harper's Bazaar. "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."
