Which actress did director Sam Mendes marry in 2003?

Director Sam Mendes married actress Kate Winslet in 2003.

Mendes and Winslet began dating after meeting in connection with a planned stage production. They married in May 2003 on the Caribbean island of Anguilla, with only a small group of people present.

Their son Joe Alfie Winslet Mendes was born in 2003. The couple later worked together professionally on the 2008 film Revolutionary Road, in which Winslet starred and Mendes directed. Their marriage ended in divorce in 2010.

Winslet had already become internationally famous through Titanic, while Mendes had won an Academy Award for directing American Beauty in 2000. Their later collaboration is sometimes confused with the start of their relationship, but they had married five years before Revolutionary Road was released.
