(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kate Winslet is reportedly dating Richard Branson's nephew.

The 35-year-old was pictured with Ned Rocknroll earlier this week and British newspaper The Sun says they have grown very close in recent weeks.

They were both guests on Richard's Necker Island earlier this month when the billionaire's home was devastated by a fire.

Kate and Ned had apparently met before while they were both in relationships but really hit it off during the vacation, especially as they are both now not in relationships.

Ned is married to society heiress Eliza Cowdray, 23, and although they married just two years ago, they split earlier this year.

Eliza apparently wants to reunite with her husband and is hoping that their current separation will just be temporary.

But Ned, who is the son of Richard's sister Lindy, has reportedly moved on with Kate.

The 33-year-old works for Richard's space venture Virgin Galactic and changed his name from Abel Smith by deed poll because he apparently thought his new moniker would suit his role better at the company.

Kate won an Emmy last weekend for her role in Mildred Pierce but the mother-of-two seems to be quite unlucky in love.

She has been married twice before; her first marriage to Jim Threapleton ended in 2001 and her second marriage to director Sam Mendes came to an end last year. She went on to date British model Louis Dowler but that relationship was short-lived. (C) Cover Media
