"'Titanic' Star Winslet Splits From Her Husband"
LONDON (Reuters) - Actress Kate Winslet, who starred in the Hollywood blockbuster "Titanic," is separating from her film director husband Jim Threapleton less than a year after the birth of their daughter.
Sky Television quoted Winslet's spokesman on Monday as saying there were no other parties involved in the amicable split. The spokesman was not available for further comment.
Twice Oscar-nominated star Winslet, 25, married Threapleton in 1998 when he worked on her film "Hideous Kinky.
"Winslet and Husband Split"
Titanic star Kate Winslet and husband Jim Threapleton are separating, the actress's spokesman says.
Winslet's spokesman Robert Garlock said: "Kate Winslet and Jim Threapleton announced today that they have decided to separate. No other parties are involved in this amicable and respectful separation. Their daughter Mia will remain first priority for both of them."
The spokesman refused to disclose the reasons for the split. However, it is understood to have happened after weeks of arguments between the couple.
Winslet married Threapleton after meeting him as third assistant director on the set of Hideous Kinky where she "fell in love at first sight" with a "glorious-looking boy".
The pair married on the November 22, 1998. Their daughter, Mia, was born in October last year.
The Heavenly Creatures star only recently told September's edition of In Style magazine how her career came second to her home life. "An actor's happiness has to come from something other than work," she told the magazine. "I know we're very lucky." Having a baby has "strengthened the relationship although there are highs and lows and at times it's tough."
Winslet, who won plaudits for losing so much weight after the birth of her daughter, is due to meet the Prince of Wales later this month at the premiere of her new wartime film Enigma, produced by Rolling Stone Mick Jagger.
