Kate Winslet wants to marry Ned Rocknroll & become Kate Rocknroll

fp_8023701_winslet_kate_fp2_excl_05_20

Kate Winslet began dating Ned RocknRoll in mid-to-late September. It’s thought that she and Ned became acquainted (“boned”) during that trip to Necker Island, in which Kate saved the life of Richard Branson’s mother. Kate was on the island with her piece at the time, model Louis Dowler, and soon after the trip, Louis was jettisoned and Ned came to stay. That all happened within, like, a week. Incidentally, Ned’s single status was in question at the time too – he was still technically married to his wife Eliza, and Eliza wanted to reconcile but Ned was all “No, I’ve got a Winslet now.” So Eliza and Ned’s divorce is going through, I guess. So now that Ned is almost technically single, and now that Ned and Kate have been together for two months, what is their future together? Sources say “marriage”. Sources say Kate thinks Ned Rocknroll is her “soulmate”.

Will the third time be the charm for twice-divorced Kate Winslet? Her romance with Ned Rocknroll has moved so fast since they first clicked in August, and now Kate has installed him in her NYC home, an insider tells Star – and friends expect an engagement announcement soon!

“Kate says she’s found her soulmate,” says the insider, who notes that Kate’s daughter Mia and son Joe are also wild about Ned, 33. “She wants to be his wife, and he’s keen on the idea.”

Once hitch: Ned’s divorce from his estranged spouse, Eliza, is still pending. But he’s already treating Kate like part of his family – which includes his billionaire uncle Richard Branson.

Says the insider, “Kate and Ned are spending Christmas on Branson’s Necker Island with his relatives.”

I’m just… disappointed. Kate could do better than some dude who is famous for having a rich uncle, and for changing his name to NED ROCKNROLL. This is Kate’s second bad boyfriend in a row – I didn’t care for her model boy-toy either, he seemed vapid and dull. Despite what I think of Kate in regards to plastic surgery (she’s had some and she lies about it, which makes me kind of hate her a little bit), she’s a catch. She’s beautiful, talented, funny, smart, and she deserves a good man. And I don’t believe Ned Rocknroll is a good dude. At all. I think he’s her K-Fed. And shouldn’t Kate be smarter than this?

    I usually don’t care for her but I think she looks really good in that picture (second thumbnail) — the one where she’s wearing black and carrying a blue bag. Does anyone know when that picture was taken?

  2. Bite me says:

    Good luck with that

  3. brin says:

    Ugh….hope she doesn’t marry this guy, she’s already twice divorced. She should just legally change her name to Rocknroll if she likes the name so much.

  4. Jules says:

    Anyone who changes their last name to Rocknroll is obviously a douche. He must be good in the sack. Kate, please don’t marry anyone else!!!

  5. LadyJane says:

    What is wrong with me? I find Ned quite sexy.

  6. no thanks says:

    some women just cant have 5 min without a man….

  7. Lalala says:

    Ned’s good-looking, but the douche fumes are wafting off of him.

    Side note: I’m amused by all the K-Fed references to Kate, Natalie and Jessica’s side-pieces. Who is raising Britney’s kids? Who turned out to be the sane one? I’m just sayin’.

  8. Kelly says:

    Who is this dude? It’s funny that this piece doesn’t give any background info on him. Does he have a job? Nice Vuitton tote, dude – I really hope you’re carrying it for Kate.

    ETA: A quick Google search brings up no references to a career or any sort of gainful employment. I don’t know why I care, but it’s weird to have some stupid name and lots of money and not actually do anything. Most rich people work in some capacity – viz. his uncle Richard Branson. As peculiar as Branson may be, he does work hard.

  9. Happymom says:

    They bonded over that fire. Is anyone else here old enough to remember Christie Brinkley’s quickie relationship/marriage with that creep she was with when her helicopter went down during a ski trip? Similar situation-she’ll marry him and then immediately think: wtf?!

  10. frances says:

    This guy isn’t a dude, his wife Eliza dumped him first and now she wants him back!Too late for her!I don’t think Kate Winslet and Ned are like Britney Spears and K-Fed at all!

  11. Sumodo1 says:

    @lalala K-fed has children by three different women and Britney paid him to babysit their children on tour one time. Jus’ sayin’….

  12. Alix says:

    I dunno, it seems she’s changed since she won her Oscar. Not pursuing her career as much, hangin’ with her boy toys… make hypocritical statements about plastic surgery… she’s become annoying.

  13. frances says:

    What? She hasn’t any toy boy! Those guys are adults like her!

  14. Violet says:

    This guy is an immature loser. He’s 10 years older than his wife, and got involved with Eliza when she was still a teenager. And let me point out that she was a very wealthy teen, whose family fortune is estimated to be worth over a billion pounds (about $1.58 billion).

    His career, such as it is, is also very sketchy. Mostly he seems to “work” for his rich uncle. And spend money hand over fist, so who knows where his funding has come from — probably his uncle and/or his wife.

    If Kate is crazy enough to marry him, I hope she gets an ironclad prenup.

  15. frances says:

    Not true. His real name is Ned Abel Smith and his father is very rich too! He doesn’t need Kate’s money! It’s just gossip!

  16. Violet says:

    @frances

    Just because Ned’s relatives are rich, doesn’t make Ned rich, although he certainly spends money like he’s got it to burn.

    Since he doesn’t have a career as such, he obviously sponges off others so I definitely think Kate needs to protect herself financially.

  17. NM9005 says:

    That’s what you get when you love love. Troublez…

  18. RocketMerry says:

    Nooooo! She should go for “Kate Movietastic”! And he can get that last name too, although I don’t really care for “Ned Movietastic”. Pretty please?

  19. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Maybe don’t fling yourself at the altar for once, see what that’s like.

  20. Jenny says:

    He looks like one of my uni-profs, just younger and not so smart.
    Well, I think Kate could do better. Seems like her taste in man is getting worse.

  21. SueAnn says:

    Good for her. Hope it works out. I adore her!

  22. Becky says:

    @Happymom-yeah, I remember the Christie Brinkley situation you mentioned. That was in the early 90’s maybe?

    Changing your last name to Rocknroll is beyond cheesy. I’m sorry, I don’t care how rich or attractive he is, I could never be seriously involved with an adult man who changed his last name to Rocknroll. It’s laughable.

  23. frances says:

    Why people are worried about his name???

  24. kathug says:

    Kate could do so much better….like Leo!! But homegirl seriously needs to step it up

  25. Becca says:

    I’m sorry – I used to like her but she strikes me as being so vain and self-absorbed and full of it. I bet her kids turn out to be a mess. I really hope not but I could see it happening with a mom as narcississtic as she is.

  26. morgan says:

    god he looks like Billy Zane, *shudders*

  27. FSX09Pilot says:

    Loving someone who will never love back is stupidity. But love’s something that comes to you creeping. And you don’t even know.
