![]() They raised Kate with lots of love, but not much money, in Reading, Berks. Not for them the chaos of repeat divorces. Her parents, Sally and Roger, are happily married after decades of contentment. Interestingly, nothing in her upbringing can be blamed for causing this skittish nature. Kate is a complex personality - and many friends say this aspect of her character blighted her marriage to the confident Sam Mendes When she turns on the ignition it’s: “Get out of the way.”’ When it was over, it was over.’Īs second husband Sam Mendes once said: ‘Kate doesn’t over-analyse, she’s a doer. ‘I remember she announced it by saying: “I’m divorcing Jim.” It wasn’t a case of “We are having problems”. And then when she wasn’t, that was it - boom. Kate had made all the running in the first place and chased Jim down the aisle, told everyone she had never been more in love. We thought it was just a rough patch, but she decided that was that, and moved out with their baby to live with her sister, and that was the end of it. He told me: ‘None of us could quite believe it with Jim. One pal, who was close to her at the time she dumped Jim Threapleton, can confirm that she is defiantly - almost perversely - happy to embrace change, however brutal. ‘I don’t pretend things aren’t happening and I don’t sweep them under the carpet.’ ‘I am a very up-front, hands-on individual,’ she said. Kate has confessed that she can be direct to the point of brashness in her life. Instead, he offers complete adoration, the basic requirement for every Hollywood diva Ned Rocknroll doesn't make her feel small because she hasn’t read as much as he has. ![]() Indeed, Kate’s father only found out three weeks later from Press reports, which must have caused some upset. They were married in New York a mere 16 months later, and didn’t invite either of their families to the wedding. It was here that she had met and fallen in love with Branson’s nephew, Ned Rocknroll, 34, who was called Ned Abel Smith before changing his name by deed poll. She began a relationship with a male model, Louis Dowler, only to dump him abruptly after a holiday to Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island in 2011. They married in May 2003 when Kate was pregnant with their son, Joe, now nine.Īfter she and Mendes divorced in 2010, Kate’s romantic whirlwind continued. Within a few weeks she was dating director Sam Mendes, whom she had met while she and Jim were still together. He was famously dumped after just three years of marriage and before their daughter, Mia, now 12, had celebrated her first birthday. Not for her, it seems, the myriad compromises which form the fabric of most marriages.Īnd if her perfect romances stop working? She will cut the cord with a ruthlessness which is starkly at odds with all that girlish sentiment. She said once that if you are really in love then you don’t need to change a person, and they don’t need to change you. People who know Kate say her ‘problem’ is simple: she’s a hopeless romantic who loves to be in love and has never outgrown girlish dreams of finding a Mr Absolutely Right.
