Kate Winslet, Ned Rocknroll secretly marry

NEW YORK, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Oscar-winning British actress Kate Winslet married Richard Branson's nephew, Ned Rocknroll, in New York this month, People magazine reported.

"I can confirm that Kate Winslet married Ned Rock'nRoll in NY earlier this month in a private ceremony attended by her two children and a very few friends and family," Winslet's representative told the entertainment magazine in an email message Wednesday. "The couple had been engaged since the summer."

People.com said British media reports indicated "Titanic" co-star Leonardo DiCaprio gave Winslet away in the clandestine ceremony that was kept secret even from the newlyweds' parents.

Winslet, 37, previously had been married to Sam Mendes and Jim Threapleton.
