Kate Winslet and director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Jarhead) yesterday issued a statement announcing that he will be a divorce. Unlike many celebrity couples, the famous couple has kept his private life - in fact, according to a statement from their lawyers, who actually split several months ago.

Winslet and Mendes, met in 2001 and married two years later, while vacationing in the Caribbean. His son, Joe, was born in 2003, and Winslet has a daughter, Mia, from her previous marriage. "The separation is completely amicable and mutual agreement," said the statement from their lawyers. "Both sides are fully committed to joint parenting for the future of their children. They ask that the media respect the privacy of the family."

Mendes won an Oscar for American Beauty, and directed Winslet, opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in 2009 in Revolutionary Road. Has also signed on to direct the next film installment of the James Bond franchise. Winslet is set to star in Todd Haynes' remake of Mildred Pierce for HBO, as well as contagion Steven Soderbergh thriller, with Matt Damon.
