Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet Never Had Crushes on Each Other
Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are best friends. People of the Internet know this—and they’re obsessed. When Winslet revealed she and DiCaprio quote Titanic lines to each other, Twitter let out a collective “awww.” Nineties babies across the world did a happy dance when the two of them were photographed on a (platonic) BFF vacation in Saint-Tropez. And when Winslet cried and cheered on DiCaprio for essentially the entire 2016 awards season? Done.
Of course, social media still ships these two hardcore, despite the fact Winslet is, ya know, married. (She tied the knot with Ned Rocknroll in 2012.) Both DiCaprio and Winslet have said, on several occasions, that their relationship is more akin to brother and sister than romantic. Even still, people won’t let the idea of Jack and Rose ending up together IRL die.
But maybe this new interview with British journalist Lorraine Kelly will do the trick. As Elle reports, Winslet told Kelly this morning that she and DiCaprio “never” had crushes on each other. Yes, my friends, you read that correctly: There was never any spark between Winslet and DiCaprio, aside from what we saw on screen. To be honest, this is probably why their friendship has lasted so long. Feelings complicate things!
“[Titanic] was seven months of very intense work, we were both really very young,” she said. “And luckily, and this was the fortunate thing, we never fancied each other. I know that’s really annoying to hear, sorry. We really never did. So it did mean that we were able to have this… be able to tease each other, which we still do, which is really amazing.”
Agreed. We’ll take Winslet and DiCaprio’s sibling-like jabs over a relationship any day of the week. After all, romance is what Titanic is for.
