Kate Winslet secretly marries Ned Rockenroll in New York
Kate Winslet has married boyfriend Ned Rocknroll in a secret ceremony in New York.
Kate Winslet, 37, was given away by her Titanic co-star Leonardo DiCaprio at an intimate service in New York.
A spokesperson for the actress said: “I can confirm that Kate Winslet married Ned Rock’nRoll in NY earlier this month in a private ceremony attended by her two children and a very few friends and family. The couple had been engaged since the summer.”
The service is said to have been so private that even Kate Winslet’s parents weren’t aware she was walking down the aisle again, The Sun newspaper claims.
Neither Kate Winslet’s father Roger nor Ned Rockenroll’s father Robert had any idea about the nuptials.
Ned Rocknroll’s father told The Sun: “It’s not something I know of – but nothing would surprise me with those two.”
The pair were said to have gotten engaged in secret over the summer.
