Consider this your Kardashian-divorce palate cleanser: Kate Winslet has talent, style and a new boyfriend, and we think you should know about it.

After she braved a fire, sans undergarments, on Richard Branson’s Necker Island (shout out for saving Grandma), the world was tipped off that Winslet, who recently split from director Sam Mendes, had taken up with the Virgin honcho’s nephew, Ned.

After a few sly dates here and there, Ned is now spending time with Winslet’s children, Mia and Joe. The four of them were spotted roving the streets of chilly New York on Thursday.

If her personal life is sailing, work is on par -- the actress stars in award-season contender ‘Carnage,’ directed by Roman Polanski and costarring Jodie Foster, John C. Riley and Christoph Waltz.

She also continues to front St. John, the fashion house once repped by Angelina Jolie, most recently debuting stunning images including the one above for its spring campaign.
