They got married in May of 2003 out of the blue during a vacation in Anguilla. However, they might’ve been pressured by Winslet’s pregnancy, because Kate gave birth to their son, Joe Alfie, that same year. After several years of never working together, Winslet finally gave in and let Mendes direct her and Leonardo DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road (2008), film about a couple going through separation.
