Kate Winslet and her film director husband Sam Mendes have separated after nearly seven years of marriage, their lawyer announced today.
Keith Schilling of legal firm Schillings, said: "Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year. The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children."
He added: "They ask that the media respect the privacy of the family."
Winslet, who won an Oscar last year for her role in The Reader, married Mendes, who won a best director Oscar in 1999 film debut, American Beauty, tied the knot in a secret ceremony in the West Indies in May 2003. Later that year Winslet gave birth to the couple's son, Joe. She has a daughter, Mia from her first marriage to assistant director Jim Threapleton. They divorced in December 2001 after three years together.

what led you to that thought? Not the image of them constructed by their pr agents, surely? Did you fall for believing what you read about them was true?

Amid claims that Rebecca Hall was the reason behind the split of Sam and Kate, friends and representatives of both Rebecca Hall and Sam Mendes have rubbished the rumours.
A representative for Sam Mendes has denied the allegations that the split happened because of Rebecca Hall. "There is absolutely no truth to this. Sam and Rebecca are professional colleagues. That's it." he said.
Rumours are rife that Kate was upset with Mendes' growing fondness for actress Rebecca Hall. According to the Daily Mail, Mendes was charmed by her after working with her in his 2006 flick "Starter for 10," and even more so when she starred in his Bridge Project theater company shows in New York and London.
"Yes, they know each other, but that's about it," says an insider close to Hall, who insists, "Rebecca has absolutely nothing to do with their split."
Sam and Kate met in August 2001 when they got together to discuss a theatre project. and tied the knot on May 24, 2003 at Barnes Bay in Anguilla, West Indies in a low profile marriage.
