Kate Winslet was seen looking relaxed and beautiful while in Puerto Vallarta with her children.
The couple – who announced yesterday (3/15/10) that their six-year marriage is over – reportedly split up temporarily in 2009 after a falling out while working together on ‘Revolutionary Road’ with Leonardo DiCaprio in 2008, but reconciled after realizing they were unhappy apart.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Working and living together was incredibly intense and basically overwhelmed their relationship.
“The pair have a very different work ethos – Sam wanted to switch off after a long day and Kate liked to analyze every nuance of her performance. It was just too much.”
After filming ended, Sam flew out to Florida to work on new movie ‘Away We Go’ but, despite their troubles, the couple – who raise two children together, son Joe, six, and Kate’s daughter Mia, nine, from her marriage to Jim Threapleton – struggled to cope with being apart and pledged to spend more time together.
They did commit to spending the year together and working less. When that didn’t work a seperation ensued. Despite only confirming their separation yesterday rumors have surfaced that there were cracks in their marriage since January, which have been denied.
The couple – who have not been seen together in public since last June – are hoping to keep their split amicable and would like to avoid a court battle over custody of Joe and the splitting of their assets.
