Winslet Watch: Sam and Kate Plus 2!

Actress Kate Winslet and hubby director Sam Mendes were spotted together with kids in tow in NYC, despite announcing their separation only a few weeks earlier.

Their parting of ways by the looks of things, appeared very “amicable,” however, though it was smiles all around as they strolled through the busy city streets, neither of them were wearing their wedding bands…

If Sam and Kate aren’t getting back together, at least they’re able to put aside their differences for the sake of the little ones, something Jon and Kate Gosselin seem unable to do.

Let’s hope Sam and Kate don’t go down the same dodgy path taken by Jon and Kate and instead find their way back onto the road to a happy marriage – in the world of Hollywood this road would be quite revolutionary (though I must say, it looks highly unlikely at this point!)

Boo Hoo… Kate Win-Split!

Oh no, say it isn’t so… Yup, it is!

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet and her hubby director Sam Mendes have split. Boo hoo!

A joint statement released by the couple’s spokesperson late on Monday in London confirmed they have parted ways.

“Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year,” reads the statement from their lawyer. “The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children. They ask that the media respect their privacy at this time.”

I thought Kate looked rather glum when I saw her in LA last weekend without Sam; she wasn’t her normal, bubbly self either. Now we know why!

The couple married in 2003 in the Caribbean and has a son, Joe, who’s six, while Kate also has a nine-year-old daughter, Mia, from her previous marriage to director Jim Threapleton.

Aww, tissues anybody?
