Kate Winslet and Ned RocknRoll marry

British actress, Kate Winslet CBE and Ned RocknRoll, nephew of Virgin tycoon, Richard Branson, have married in a secret ceremony.

Only a handful of close friends, and Kate's two children from her previous marriages, were present. 

A spokesperson for the actress confirmed last night (December 26) that the couple married in New York. It has been reported that both their parents did not know about the wedding.

Leonardo Di Caprio, Winslet's best friend, gave her away at the ceremony. Winslet and RocknRoll got engaged before last summer. 

RocknRoll's name by birth is Abel Smith. He works part-time on Virgin Galactic, Branson's space project. It is not known if Winslet will change her name.

The best man was RocknRoll's brother, Jack, who was with the couple when Branson's estate on Necker Island burned down dramatically last year.

This is Winslet's third marriage. Her first was to cameraman-turned-film director, Jim Threapleton and her second to Sam Mendes, the stage and fim director. Her marriage to Mendes was also done in secret.
