Kate Winslet faces the cameras for first time after split

The 34-year-old hid behind big dark sunglasses and clutched her six-year-old boy close to her as she ran into a waiting car.

Dressed down in denim shorts,lace-free sneakers and a blue jumper,Winslet maintained an expressionless face as she shielded her son from the throng of paparazzi.

She also has a daughter,nine-year-old Mia,from her first marriage to assistant director Jim Threapleton.

The triplex property,where the couple lived for six years,is in the city’s affluent Chelsea district and is said to have been put on the market for 3.9 million pounds.

Mendes,44,is believed to be living in an office that he has in the building,while the actress and the two children have remained in the three-bedroom,three-storey flat at the top of the building.

She has spoken of her desire to move back to England to be closer to friends and family,but has been staying in Manhattan while she films a mini series ‘Mildred Pierce’.

Winslet fled to a Mexican resort post the announcement of the split with her two children to avoid the media glare.
