Kate Winslet dating British model?

Actress Kate Winslet is reportedly dating a young British model four months after splitting with filmmaker husband Sam Mendes.

The 34-year-old Oscar winner is said to have become inseparable from Louis Dowler in recent weeks, whom she met through mutual friends at a party.

Dowler, also 34, is ten years younger than Mendes and the Titanic star has apparently stuck up a close friendship with him.

Dowler, six foot tall, has appeared in a number of high-profile advertising campaigns and has modeled for fashion house Burberry with Kate Moss.

The pair are believed to have spent increasing amounts of time together recently and saw each other in New York while Dowler was on a fashion shoot, News of the World reported.

“They’ve been on lots of dates and get on really well. It’s early days for them but they enjoy each other’s company,” a source told the newspaper.

“He’s a good looking guy and gets lots of attention when he’s out and about — but he’s not your typical model. Not at all big-headed. Louis has a good sense of humor and really is a lovely guy. He loves to surf and he’s really quite engaging and very down-to-earth,” the source added.

Winslet, who won the Best Actress Oscar trophy for her role of a Nazi officer in The Reader, separated from Mendes in March this year. They have a six-year-old son Joe while Winslet has a nine-year-old daughter Mia, from her previous marriage to producer Jim Threapleton.

Their marriage hit the rocks after they shot Revolutionary Road together, ironically about a couple on the brinks of break up co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Kate Winslet is the new face of Longines watch

She might not have been advertising a watch that specializes in time travel, but Kate Winslet looked like she had rolled back the years while filming a TV commercial in Rome.

Kate is the new face, and wrist, for Swiss watch brand Longines and looked youthful and radiant in a little black dress during the shoot.

The Hollywood star was sultry with beach-chic blonde tresses and smouldering make-up that made her appear much younger than her 34 years.

She was filming the advert in Italy with Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Taiwanese model and actress Lin Chi-ling, who is also the official spokesperson for China Airlines.

Aishwarya, 36, who is an Indian actress and former Miss World, also stunned in a little black dress for the ad.

Kate and Aishwarya ran in their heels into a black car during filming, while Lin Chi-ling jetted off in a vintage red Alfa Romeo.

Oscar-winning Kate is the latest famous face to represent Longines, alongside past models for the brand such as Stefanie Graf and Andre Agassi.
