Kate Winslet split from Sam Mendes ‘out of boredom’
March 17th, 2010 - 1:28 pm ICT by ANINew York, March 17 (ANI): Kate Winslet decided to put an end to her seven year old marriage with Sam Mendes ‘out of boredom’, it has been alleged.
The Oscar-winning actress, 34, and the director, 44, called it quits two years after they teamed up for the film Revolutionary Road, based on a drifting couple.
“She felt bored. When Sam isn’t working, he’d just as soon stay home. Kate loves going out. … She was the one pushing for the divorce,” the New York Daily News quoted a friend of the couple as saying.
The source further claimed Winslet’s steamy scenes with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio in the film were the tipping point.
The friend said that movie “put a lot of stress on their marriage” and “Kate came to regret making the movie with Sam.”
The pal continued: “They’ve been pretty much living separate lives since the end of the summer. They realized some time ago that they were not a good fit. They were more like brother and sister.” (ANI)
