Kate Winslet is planning to move back to her native Britain from her current residence in New York, according to media reports.

It is reported recently that the Oscar winner had split from her husband Sam Mendes. She has a six-year-old son Joe with Sam, and a daughter Mia from her marriage to Jim Threapleton.

A source told the Mail Online website: “Kate doesn’t know quite what to do. The people she’s close to in New York are mums in schools but she thinks that will all change. Her real friends - Emma Thompson, her sister Anna and her parents - are all over here.

“Kate feels she needs a support system, but she is torn because she doesn’t want to disrupt her kids and is able to be very low-key in New York.”

She has been receiving support from her ’Titanic’ co-star Leonardo DiCaprio since the separation. A source said: “Leonardo and Kate have been like brother and sister since they starred in ’Titanic’ together.

“And since Kate’s marriage problems started, around the time they were filming ’Revolutionary Road’, they’ve got closer again. Kate feels like she can tell Leonardo anything.”
