Joe Mendes

Kate Winslet's boyfriend Ned Rocknroll was along for a walk in Paris this morning. He and Kate have only been dating for a few months, but he seems to already be a hit with her kids, Mia Threapleton and Joe Mendes. Joe was photographed giving a big hug to Ned, who was simultaneously pinching Mia's cheeks!

Kate, her children, and Ned are all in Europe to support her latest film. She wore a red Stella McCartney number to Sunday's French premiere of Carnage, which is the latest effort from director Roman Polanski. The movie is based on the award-winning play God of Carnage and will open in the US on Dec. 16.

Kate Winslet and her boyfriend, Ned Rocknroll, went for a walk around NYC with her kids, Mia and Joe, this morning. Kate and Ned were hand in hand for the outing after going public with their relationship last month. The couple was spotted in San Francisco and also made an appearance at the Upham, NM, unveiling of Virgin Galactic's newly completed runway in October. They later traveled to London together and have since returned to Kate's Manhattan home base.

The two reportedly met during Kate's Summer visit to Necker Island, which is owned by Ned's uncle, Richard Branson. Ned and Kate apparently hit it off, despite the devastating fire that occurred while Kate and her family were vacationing there.

Kate Winslet and her on-again boyfriend Louis Dowler were hand in hand as they walked through London's Gatwick Airport on Saturday. Kate's kids Joe and Mia were also along for the flight, which was apparently headed to the Caribbean. Kate and Louis haven't been spotted out together since they split last November, but there have been reports that the duo had rekindled their romance in June. While Kate's relationship is heating up, her professional life is also on fire. Kate has been nominated for an Emmy for her work in HBO's Mildred Pierce and she has the thriller Contagion coming out next month, which means plenty of red-carpet opportunities if Kate wants to bring Louis along for any of her appearances.

Kate Winslet was back on school pickup duty yesterday and afterward stopped to hail a cab with her son, Joe Mendes, in NYC. She's balancing her mom duties with current work obligations to St. John. Kate's first set of ads for the sportswear company were just released, and she spoke about the experience of working with the storied brand. Kate Winslet doesn't think she's a typical spokesperson, telling WWD, "I'm obviously not a model. I'm not the size of a model. I don't have the face of a model or the shape of a model." Her looks and figure have nonetheless earned her lots of love in this year's PopSugar 100. Kate's in the running to top the rankings of A-list stars, celebrity moms, and favorite imports — there's still plenty of time to cast your votes, share your top 10s on Facebook, and enter to win one of four luxury prizes!

Kate Winslet cuddled up to her son Joe today after picking him up from school in NYC. The actress has been hanging out with her two kids in Manhattan for several months, but is also looking forward to some new work opportunities. Kate just inked a deal to follow in Angelina Jolie's footsteps and serve as the latest celebrity face of the St. John clothing line. The Oscar-winner is in high demand as a model lately, having also recently shot a series of ads for Lancome's L'Absolu Nu lipstick. Her latest acting project, the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce, didn't draw high ratings, but she has plenty of promising films in the pipeline. Kate stars alongside fellow A-listers Matt Damon and Jude Law in Steven Soderbergh's upcoming Contagion, and also landed a leading role in the big-screen adaptation of award-winning play God of Carnage.

Kate Winslet and her children were literally on the run this morning in NYC. The actress joined her daughter, Mia, and son, Joe, in a quick sprint across the city as they tried to make it to school in time. Kate has been at home in the Big Apple lately prepping for the debut of her HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce. She's enjoying a brief break now that the last episode has aired, but Kate has several projects ahead of her in 2011. Not only has Kate finished work on the big-screen adaptation of the award-winning play God of Carnage, but she also plays a doctor in Steven Soderbergh's upcoming thriller Contagion, which also stars Matt Damon and Jude Law. Meanwhile, Kate is keeping busy as the new spokesperson for Lancôme's L'Absolu Nu lipstick.
