Brave face: Kate Winslet stepped out in New York yesterday just days after splitting from model Louis Dowler


Kate Winslet has been spotted for the first time since splitting from model Louis Dowler.

The Titanic actress put on a brave face as she stepped out in New York yesterday, just days after breaking up with Dowler following a four-month relationship.

Winslet, 35, wrapped up warm in a black coat and long grey scarf, with only the dark sunglasses she kept firmly on giving any indication of the distress she might have been feeling.

It was reported earlier this week Winslet had split from Burberry model Dowler, apparently saying she wanted to be alone.

Their relationship had seemed to be blossoming, with Winslet even introducing the model to her parents, Sally and Roger, just weeks into the relationship.
Although there were high hopes the romance would last, they have now gone their separate ways.

Those close to the pair say it was a classic case of love on the rebound.
A friend said: ‘Louis was just the tonic Kate needed after her painful split from Sam and they had a wonderful time.

‘However, they have realised their relationship isn’t working and Kate needs space to be on her own.

'She is very grateful to Louis for helping her pick her life back up after her marriage ended and they had a lot of fun together, but she felt it had come to an end and wants to concentrate on her career and children.’

Ms Winslet has a six-year-old son Joe with Mr Mendes, the Oscar- winning director of American Beauty, from whom she parted in March.

The actress also has daughter Mia, 10, from her first marriage to Jim Threapleton, also a film director.
