If there was a contest for the most unusual place to meet your soul mate, we’d give the win to Kate Winslet.
In 2012, Titanic star Kate Winslet married millionaire Ned Rocknroll. And the story of their acquaintance is fire! In the true sense of the word.
When these two saw each other, everything around was on fire – and not at all with passion. Luxurious villas on the private island of Necker, owned by billionaire Richard Branson, were on fire.
In 2011, Kate came to the resort at the invitation of Branson himself to relax with their children, Mia and Joe, and Ned, the owner’s nephew, also spent time there. One night a hurricane hit the island and as a result of a lightning strike the buildings caught fire.
Kate helped Branson’s elderly mother down the stairs, then rushed out of the house herself, grabbing the children, a bra and a passport. Along the way, she met Ned, who, it seems, was a little better prepared to survive the disaster – he had a headlamp.
