Kate Winslet splits from husband Sam Mendes

The 34-year-old star separated from Mendes at an unspecified point earlier this year, Shillings law firm said. It wasn't clear whether divorce proceedings have begun. The pair have been married since 2003 & have one kids.

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has split from her film director husband Sam Mendes, a British law firm said Monday.

"Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their kids," the statement said.

In a statement e-mailed to journalists, the law firm said the split was "entirely amicable & is by mutual agreement."

A call & an e-mail seeking further comment were not immediately returned.

Winslet won the Academy Award for best actress for her dramatic role in "The Reader" in 2009. It was the first Oscar win for Winslet, who had been nominated six other times for her roles in "Titanic," "Sense & Sensibility," "Iris," "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" & "Little Kids."

They directed his wife in "Revolutionary Road," a recent film about a crumbling marriage that reunited Winslet with her "Titanic" co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.

Mendes, an acclaimed stage & film director, won the coveted best director Oscar for "American Beauty."

In "Revolutionary Road," Winslet portrayed a suburban housewife who became increasingly bored & desperate with her stay-at-home life. The film won Winslet a Golden Globe for best dramatic actress, & in her acceptance speech he thanked her husband for pushing her so hard.

Reviews were largely favorable, but the film failed to set off the same box office fever that made "Titanic" six of the most successful films in history.

"Thank you for directing this film, babe, & thank you for killing us every single day & enjoying us actually being in such horrific pain," he said last year.

Mendes said at the time that directing his wife had been six of the best experiences of his life, although they said he liked to discuss the movie round the clock while they preferred to do something else, like watch a baseball game, at night when work was done.
