Joe Alfie Winslet Mendes was born

Kate Winslet welcomed her second child and first son, Joe Alfie Winslet Mendes, on December 22, 2003. Joe was born in New York City, and he is the son of Winslet and her second husband, Sam Mendes, the acclaimed director behind films like American Beauty and Skyfall. Winslet and Mendes married in 2003, the same year their son was born, marking a significant time in both their personal and professional lives. Winslet and Mendes separated in 2010, but they have continued to co-parent Joe amicably. Like his older sister, Mia, Joe has largely stayed out of the public spotlight, with Winslet making it a priority to keep her children's lives private and grounded, despite her fame. Winslet has often spoken about her focus on maintaining normalcy in her children's lives, especially given her high-profile career. As Winslet’s first son, Joe represents an important chapter in her life, balancing motherhood with her thriving career, which at the time included starring in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Finding Neverland. Joe has remained a central part of Winslet's world, even as her career continues to soar. #JoeAlfieWinsletMendes #KateWinslet #SamMendes #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife
