Mendes and Winslet divorce rumors started to build up in the year 2010 and in the same year the couple called it off in a joint statement confirming they had parted ways. They were divorced in 2011.

Winslet said in an interview "I know lots of people who are not in the public eye who have gone through several marriages, I really do, and it's just those are the cards that life dealt me. I didn't plan on its being that way. And f--k me, it hasn't been easy, you know." Kate has kept details surrounding both splits close to the vest, saying, "No one really knows what has happened in my life. No one really knows why my first marriage didn't last; no one knows why my second didn't."

Kate adds, "I'm proud of those silences."
