Leonardo DiCaprio is helping pal Kate Winslet deal with her marriage breakdown, it has emerged.

DiCaprio and Winslet rose to fame playing lovers in Titanic and were reunited on screen two years ago in Revolutionary Road – directed by her husband Sam Mendes.

It has been claimed that the actress’ relationship with Mendes, 44, suffered on set and eventually led to their break-up.

The couple separated several months ago and made the split official on Monday.

However, DiCaprio has become a shoulder to cry on as cracks appeared in her six-year marriage.

“Leo and Kate have been like brother and sister since they starred in Titanic together,” the Sun quoted a source as saying.

“And since Kate’s marriage started to go south, around the time they were filming Revolutionary Road, they’ve got closer again. Kate has always really adored Leo and feels like she can tell him anything. They were so young when Titanic came out, so it’s fair to say they basically grew up together, professionally at least.

“They were thrust into stardom together and were the only people who knew what the other was going through. He’s been a rock for her,” the source added.

Kate Winslet’s marriage may be going the way of a certain luxury liner, but that isn’t keeping The Holiday star from taking, well, a holiday.

Sure enough, while the world learned yesterday of the star’s split from her hubby, director Sam Mendes, the actress was busy soaking up the sun on a boat in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Looking fit in a two-piece black bikini, the Oscar winner enjoyed the company of her little children, Joe and Mia.

We’re not sure who the mystery man is, but despite some of our commenters’ wishes, it’s definitely not Leo.

Kate Winslet has fled to Mexico for a holiday with her children after her break-up from Sam Mendes.

The Oscar-winning actress and film director announced yesterday that they had agreed to separate after nearly seven years of marriage.

The couple confirmed they had parted earlier this year, which may explain why Winslet cut a lonely figure on the red carpet at the Oscars last week.

And he is believed to be staying in New York while Winslet took their son, Joe, 6, and her daughter from a previous marriage, Mia, 9, to Mexico.

Pictures of her on a boat with the children emerged as it transpired the pair’s relationship hit the rocks after they made a film together about a couple who break up.

Months of stormy rows followed the filming of Revolutionary Road, in which Mendes directed his wife co-starring with Leonardo DiCaprio, friends said last night.

Kate and Sam

Oscar winner Kate Winslet has split from her director husband Sam Mendes after almost seven years of marriage. The Titanic actress wed American Beauty filmmaker Mendes in 2003 on the Caribbean island of Antigua. They have a son, Joe, who was born in December 2003, and Winslet also has a daughter, Mia Honey, from her first marriage to Jim Threapleton.

British beauty Winslet set up home with Mendes in New York City, but it was announced on Monday that they have now parted ways.

In a statement, a representative for the couple says, “They are saddened to announce they separated earlier this year. The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children.”

Kate Winslet was in a bikini yesterday as she joined friends for a boat ride in Mexico. Kate stayed balanced by spreading her arms, creating a Titanic-reminiscent moment on the much smaller vessel. She’s on vacation and letting off some steam after a stop at home in NYC and her recent appearance at the Oscars, where she took the stage to present the best actor statue to Jeff Bridges. Hopefully Kate’s getting some rest in, since her work schedule is shaping up to be busy between her upcoming role on HBO’s Mildred Pierce and a rumored cameo on Top Chef.

Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet star in a segment called The Catch in a multi-sketch film shot by Peter Farrelly (of the Farrelly brothers) and several other directors. Gerard Butler, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are other actors working on this project.

The other directors in this film include actors Elizabeth Banks and Griffin Dunne, Brett Ratner (New York, Je T’aime, X-Men: The Last Stand), and Charles Wessler (Dumb and Dumber and the upcoming Three Stooges).

This collaborative idea from Farrelly and Wessler strings together a series of stories with a unifying theme, similar to films in the 1970s such as Kentucky Fried Movie. The two worked on There’s Something About Mary. Based on the success of ensemble films like Valentine’s Day, a star-studded film with a modest budget could well work again.
