Kate Winslet: British actress takes husband No. 3

NEW YORK (AP) — Kate Winslet has tied the knot again.

The Oscar-winning actress wed Ned Rocknroll in New York earlier this month. The private ceremony was attended by Miss Winslet’s two children as well as a few friends and family members, her representative said Thursday.

It is the third marriage for the 37-year-old Miss Winslet. She previously was married to film directors Jim Threapleton and Sam Mendes.

The 34-year-old Mr. Rocknroll, who was born Abel Smith, is a nephew of Sir Richard Branson, the billionaire Virgin Group founder.

The couple had been engaged since last summer.

Miss Winslet won a best-actress Oscar for her performance in the 2008 film “The Reader.”
