Kate Winslet On Co-Parenting, Christmas With Jim Threapleton<\/p>\n

Kate Winslet<\/a> has spoken candidly about how she navigates co-parenting and blended families \u2014 and what she had to say is actually pretty impressive.<\/p>\n

For reference, Kate shares her eldest child, Mia, with painter and film director Jim Threapleton, who she married in 1998. They split six months after Mia was born in 2000, and were divorced by 2001.<\/p>\n

Kate then met director Sam Mendes<\/a>, who she married in 2003 and shares a son, Joe, with. She announced that she and Sam had split in 2010, and they got divorced a year later.<\/p>\n

Then, Kate met Richard Branson\u2019s nephew Edward Smith \u2014 who was legally known as Ned Rocknroll between 2008 and 2019 \u2014 and they married in 2012, and have been together ever since. They share a son called Bear.<\/p>\n

Kate\u2019s children are now 25, 21, and 12 years old, and in a new podcast appearance, the star gave some seriously rare insight into her private life as she detailed how her family spends Christmas Day \u2014 and it\u2019s pretty unorthodox.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Fearne Cotton\u2019s Happy Place<\/a> podcast, Kate said that Christmas Day is always \u201ca real laugh.\u201d She added: \u201cIt\u2019s just fantastic. Everyone\u2019s climbing into bed and all doing stockings, and somebody\u2019s bringing mom a cup of tea, which I love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just love all being together, heaps of food, usually me and my son cooking, he\u2019s always cooked alongside me \u2014 oh, it\u2019s great,\u201d Kate went on. \u201cLots of people, there\u2019s always visitors, it\u2019s great fun. And games, lots of silly games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fearne then asked how Kate balances Christmas with \u201ckids, ex-partners, and co-parenting,\u201d and Kate revealed that it has now become somewhat of a tradition for her family to spend the day with Mia\u2019s father, Jim, and his new family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s never been any kind of challenge, actually, at all,\u201d Kate said of co-parenting. \u201cIn actual fact, for the majority of the last eight years, my daughter\u2019s dad and his lovely wife, who I\u2019m just so grateful to have in my life, and their two children, we\u2019ve all had Christmases together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd actually, for his daughters, who are 12 and 15, it\u2019s now weird if they aren\u2019t with us,\u201d she went on. \u201cMia\u2019s dad and I cook the Christmas dinner sometimes. I haven\u2019t ever actually talked about that because we just get on with it, I think there\u2019s a strange fascination in the media when high-profile couples, or people who are in the public eye, have separated. There\u2019s a huge flurry of excitement around: \u2018Oh my god, they get on!\u2019 Of course we bloody do!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Jim\u2019s wife, Julie, she\u2019s just such a spectacular lady, and I feel so grateful to have had her as Mia\u2019s stepmother,\u201d Kate added. \u201cThere\u2019s something extraordinary about another mother in the world loving your child the same way that you do, and I just feel incredibly grateful to have that.\u201d<\/p>\n

A seriously valid point. What do you make of Kate\u2019s comments?
