Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio's only love
They've been inseparable since they met 24 years ago, and they never ruined their relationship with a romance.
Most of the time, love and friendship in Hollywood don't last long, but the relationship between Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet is completely different. They have known each other for 24 years, and although the world has tried to match them with romantic notions, neither Leo nor Kate have fueled rumors of a romance.
Although they met playing one of the most famous couples in cinema, the actor couple have dedicated the years to nurturing a beautiful friendship that has only grown stronger with time and with each other's successes. Do you already know their love and friendship story?
Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio
Winslet and DiCaprio have been a team since 1996, during the filming of "Titanic." She was 21 years old and he was 22. They showed a romance on screen in such a credible way that the rumors about their relationship in real life could not be avoided.
However, they never had the romance that audiences anticipated, which is why they became best friends. Since then, they have grown together in the industry. They also admit that they use each other as a support system through all the obstacles caused by stardom.
According to Winslet, during an interview with 'Rolling Stone', she and Leonardo DiCaprio know everything there is to know about each other. The actress even knows how to make Leo's perfect sandwich. According to the magazine, very late one night, Winslet and DiCaprio were lying on the deck during a break. An attendant came over to order food.
"Leo was so tired," recalls Winslet; she had her head on his stomach and asked for a sandwich. "The assistant asked, 'How do you want it?' And Leo said, 'Oh, Kate will tell you.' And Leo just fell asleep. And I knew exactly what he wanted, this kind of cheese and no tomato and no pickles. I absolutely knew it. And I thought, 'God, it's really weird that I know this person so well. It was brilliant. "

Why did they never try to get out?
The truth of the matter is, Winslet and DiCaprio never tried anything else because they didn't "like" each other. The actress who played Rose told Rolling Stone that any kind of romantic relationship between them would feel too "incestuous" because they are like siblings. Also, the two of you need each other as support systems, and it would be more difficult for them to maintain that kind of support if they were in a romantic relationship.
"In many ways, Kate and I have really grown up in this industry together," says DiCaprio. "We have been a mutual support mechanism for such a long period of time. We have been there for each other and we have helped guide each other."
Regarding their strictly platonic relationship, Winslet admitted: "I think the reason the friendship works is because there was never anything romantic. It is very disappointing for people to hear that because, in the soap opera of Kate and Leo's story, we fell in love at first sight and kissed a million, but we never did. "
Winslet later said, "We needed each other to support each other because we were so young and we worked all kinds of crazy hours and it was a shock to the system."
Never fell in love?
Although Winslet has said multiple times that she and DiCaprio are in a sibling relationship, there was a moment during the making of "Titanic" when she was attracted to her best friend. (Or at least attracted to the character she was playing.) Her feelings were mixed up during the scene where Jack and Rose are intimate for the first time in the car. Surrounded by steam and passion, Winslet explained in an interview that the "Rose" in her loved DiCaprio's "Jack," which ended up creating complex feelings.
"Making that scene," said the actress, "was not us. And yet we were so locked into what it had to be. The Rose in me was really loving the Jack in him. And even though I didn't feel that way towards Leo, It was so nice to feel like that in the scene. It was so nice. And then, you know, the camera stopped rolling, he gets up and walks away, and the scene is ready. And I remember laying there thinking, 'Too bad I know. I'm done. 'Because it was pretty nice. It was. "
Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio, a great friendship
Although it is not easy to see them together, they have had many moments to strengthen their friendship. When they were back on screen together, for "Revolutionary Road", Leo gave Kate a ring with a special dedication (which is a secret).
And when Kate won the Golden Globe for best actress for her performance, she dedicated her speech to Leo, while he blew kisses from her place. Interestingly, when they announced that she was the winner, the first person she hugged was Leo, not her husband.
In 2012, when Kate married her second husband, Ned Rocknroll, DiCaprio walked her down the aisle. Years later, the actress's mother died of cancer and, in her words, it was her Leo who saved her from the pain.
In 2016, Leonardo DiCaprio finally won his first Oscar, and Kate was there supporting him. In fact, the way she showed her great emotion when she took the stage to receive her award went viral.
