Kate Winslet has married her third husband in a private ceremony in New York, her spokesman said on Thursday.
The Oscar-winning actress wed Ned Rocknroll, Richard Branson's nephew, in front of her two children and a small number of friends. She was given away by Leonardo DiCaprio, her co-star in the films Titanic and Revolutionary Road.
According to reports, their marriage plans had been kept a closely guarded secret following their engagement in the summer.
The actress is reported to have met her new husband while she was at Branson's holiday home on Necker Island in the Caribbean last year. The house burned down after it was hit by lightning and Winslet was reported to have led her two children and Branson's mother to safety.
Winslet, 37, separated from her second husband – American Beauty and Skyfall director Sam Mendes, with whom she has a son, Joe – in 2010, after nearly seven years of marriage.
With her first husband, assistant director Jim Threapleton, she had one daughter, Mia, before they divorced after three years of marriage, in December 2001.
Rocknroll, 34, who changed his name from Abel Smith, works at Virgin Galactic, Branson's space travel venture, as head of marketing, promotion and astronaut experience. Until last year he was married to Eliza Pearson, the 24-year-old daughter of Viscount Cowdray. They married in 2009.
