Kate Winslet, who celebrates her 47th birthday this Wednesday, October 5, panicked the web in February 2014 after announcing that she had decided to call her child Bear Blazewhich means neither more nor less”Fire Bear”. A strange choice, which she had explained a few weeks after this revelation on the set of the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“When I was younger, one of my friends was nicknamed Bear and I’ve always loved that nickname. In addition, he was really like a bear, always a reassuring shoulder, to give big hugs. He was really an important person in my life. So that’s where this idea came from. And my son’s middle name Blaze (fire in French, editor’s note)it’s because my husband and I met in a house on fire!” said the star of titanic.
I’m so lucky
Indeed, Kate Winslet had made the acquaintance of Ned RockNroll, the father of her son and nephew of Richard Branson, during a fire which had ravaged in August 2011 a part of the latter’s dwelling located in the British Virgin Islands. The actress then attended at that time the British model Louis Dowler, before therefore falling into the arms of Ned RockNroll, Edward Abel Smith of his real name. They married in December 2012 before welcoming their first child together, with the original first name, the following year.
“He is an absolutely extraordinary life partner. I am so, so, so lucky. Even if he is severely dyslexic, he makes me work on my texts. It’s so hard for him to read out loud, but he still doess” has already declared Kate Winslet about her darling. Note that in the past, she was married for the first time to director Jim Threapleton. Together, they have a daughter Mia, who is now an actress. The winner Oscar winner is also the mother of another little boy, Joe Alfie, born in 2003 from her relationship with director Sam Mendes.
