Kate Winslet is the mother of three kids - Mia, Joe, and Bear.
The Titanic star Kate Winslet welcomed her three children from three different marriages and is an absolutely doting mom who chooses to prioritize her children before her career. Since the birth of her children, Winslet has made sure that she is around them as they grow up to be amazing adults and makes sure to take up work commitments that do not hamper her time with her kids.
In the 2014 interview with Delaware Online, Winslet explained the impact of parenthood on her life. She said, "I have been a parent since I was 25. That's a large chunk of my adult life. Mother or father, it transforms you completely." While having three children so sporadic in age does come handy at times, Winslet says other times can be very "logistically . . . complicated."
In her 2015 March cover story for "Harper's Bazaar UK," Winslet spoke about her kids and explained, "Because of the age gaps, each of my children is at such a different stage . . . And emotionally too, they all have very different things they need from me." She wouldn't change any of it though — she says having her three kids "is so much fun."
