Kate Winslet Says Mia Takes After Both Dad, and Step-Dad

Splash News Online

Two happy and healthy children are enough for Kate Winslet. In a new interview with OK!, the 33-year-old actress and mom to Mia Honey, 8, and Joe Alfie, 5, reveals that she has no plans to add to her brood with husband Sam Mendes. “We feel like Mia and Joe are so great and we’re very, very lucky that they’re healthy,” Kate explains. “We’re really happy with the family that we have.” That includes Kate’s ex-husband, and Mia’s dad, Jim Threapleton — whom Kate remains close with. She adds,

“I see the personalities of myself and both of their dads emerging in both of them, and it’s great. In Mia, she has a lot of Sam, too, because he’s really raised her with me. That’s a really amazing thing, which I am surprised by on a daily basis, and it’s really wonderful.”

As she has stated previously, Kate feels that although her job description may be unique ”it’s no more of a challenge” for her to balance career and family “than it is for any working mother.” With her first commitment to the kids, Kate says that the onus is on her to make her own life “work” and her own career “right.” To that end, “it takes a lot of planning,” she admits. “It’s as simple as that…I get up extremely early in the morning.”

Kate’s latest movies, Revolutionary Road and The Reader,  are in theaters now.

I love seeing what Kate Winslet has to say about her family. I love families like this one and Kate Beckinsale’s, where it’s very clear that the step-parents are just as much a family member to the kids as their own parents, and where all the parents have a really good relationship.
