Here's What We Know About Kate Winslet And Leonardo DiCaprio's Relationship

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio will forever be remembered as one of the most iconic couples in cinematic history, as they famously played Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater in the 1997 masterpiece, "Titanic." The film, which was nominated for a whopping 14 Academy Awards in 1998 and won 11, including Best Picture (via InStyle), solidified Winslet and Dicaprio's careers in the industry, catapulting both their professional and personal lives straight into the spotlight.

While there's no denying that Winslet and DiCaprio had serious chemistry on-screen, fans of "Titanic" have always wondered if their off-screen relationship was just as steamy as the legendary handprint-on-the-car-window scene they shot together. In a 1997 interview with Entertainment Tonight while promoting the film, DiCaprio got candid with the outlet and described what it was like shooting that infamous scene with Winslet, saying, "She's such a terrific person in general that our chemistry naturally happened on screen. We just like each other as people. As far as doing a love scene, though, we laughed about it a lot." 

Winslet also opened up about shooting the film with DiCaprio during a 1998 interview, telling Access Hollywood, per People, "I did think to myself beforehand, it's going to be hard, because you know, what if I really fancy him? And I so thought I was going to, because he is absolutely gorgeous."

Nearly a decade after their first on-screen performance together, the pair starred in 2008's "Revolutionary Road," which was directed by Kate Winslet's then-husband Sam Mendes. "We were actively looking for something to do together," Leo DiCaprio said (via People), echoing Winslet's sentiments about being close friends. "It felt really natural. She's my homie."

While promoting the film, Winslet and DiCaprio gave a joint interview on the Today show, which further showed fans the love and adoration the pair have for each other. "Well, I think I can speak for both of us: we have a lot more wrinkles," Winslet said when asked how they've changed since their "Titanic" days (via Elle). "Don't we, darling? I'm proud of him, though. I can't say that you're taller, because you were always tall. He's a man now; look at him — he's just bigger. Physically you aren't that different; you're just less puny."

DiCaprio also gushed about his two-time leading lady, telling Today, "She's still as beautiful and radiant as the day I met her. She is the consummate professional; she keeps pushing herself to an emotional truth when she's working. That's why I keep saying she's the best."

Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for a plethora of awards for his performance in "The Revenant," and during his history-making award show run in 2016, Kate Winslet stuck by his side through it all. 

While speaking to an interviewer at the Golden Globes that year, DiCaprio gushed about his two-time co-star when asked if he ever wanted to work together again. "I'd love to. She's my favorite actress in the industry," he revealed (via Elle). "She's actually hanging out with me tonight. We're gonna go to the afterparties together."

At the 2016 Academy Awards, DiCaprio, who had been nominated for an Oscar five times at that point – he has since been nominated one more time for his role in "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" – the accomplished actor finally fulfilled his dream and took home the coveted award for Best Actor in a Drama for his unbelievable portrayal of fur trapper Hugh Glass in "The Revenant" (via People).

Winslet stuck by his side the entire night and even walked the red carpet with her best pal, but the most endearing part of the night was when Winslet adorably teared up during DiCaprio's speech.
