While Kate Winslet is quite private about her marriage to Edward ‘Ned’ Abel Smith, she just gave super-rare details about their relationship; and it’s just as sweet as you’d imagine.

In a super-rare interview with The Telegraph, the Titanic star talked about how she knew Ned was The One soon after meeting.

“It was very clear to me that this was the person I was supposed to follow through life. And I still feel exactly that way now,” she said.

She also talked about the reasons why she loves Ned, including his optimism and ambition, to name a few.

“[Ned] looks after everybody. He’s wonderful. We literally do life together, we really do. He’s always jumped from project to project, and when I met him, he was setting up a music festival,” she said. “Ned and I, we are real-life optimists. When you live with someone who wakes up, opens the curtains, and says, ‘Hello, the world!’ you just think, yes, I am going to sign up for life.”

For those who don’t know, Winslet and her husband were first linked in 2011. A year later, they got married in Dec. 2012 at a private ceremony in New York. The following year, actually almost exactly a year later, they welcomed a son named Bear in Dec 2013.
