Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes File for Divorce

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet and her husband of 7 years, Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes, have filed for divorce.

The split comes two years after Mendes and Winslet worked together on the acclaimed movie Revolutionary Road, which Winslet received a Golden Globe award for and an Academy Award nomination. Some are calling the split ironic considering the movie was about a 1950s suburban couple who appeared to have a perfect marriage, but were actually miserable behind closed doors.

The London-based law firm handling the divorce said the decision to end the marriage was “entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement.” The firm also said Winslet and Mendes are “fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children."

Winselt and Mendes were married in 2003 and have six-year-old son together named Joe. The couple also raised Kate’s nine-year-old daughter Mia from her previous marriage to assistant director Jim Threapolton.
