Kate Winslet is said to be dating Ned Rocknroll, who is Richard Branson’s nephew. The pair reportedly met whilst both were staying at Virgin tycoon Branson’s Caribbean holiday island of Necker. They were both on the Caribbean island last month when the main house was ravaged by fire.
Ned Rocknroll, used to be known as Ned Abel Smith until he changed his name by deed poll a few years back to Ned Rocknroll. Ned works for Branson’s space initiative, Virgin Galactic. He separated from his wife, heiress Eliza Cowdray, earlier this year and was apparently on the island to nurse his broken heart.
But if recent reports are to be believed Winslet and Ned have been dating since their island holiday. They were both pictured this week attending the memorial service for Branson’s father, Ted at the Royal Geographical Society’s headquarters in Kensington, London.
Winslets agent spoke to MailOnline today and neither confirmed nor denied the rumors;
‘As usual, I am making no comment on Kate’s private life.’
