In an interview withPORTER, theTitanicactress, 48, opened up about how her work life and her family life have started to intersect since the star’s older kids — son Joe, 21, and daughter Mia, 23 — have begun careers as actors. In 2021, Joe and Mia starred alongside their mom in the entirely improvised television showI Am Ruth.
“Luckily, they’re good,” she tells the outlet of her kids. “It felt normal [to act alongside them]. These are kids who have been testing [me] on [my] lines pretty much since they could read. They’ve seen me terrified beforehand. They’ve gone through it with me.”

In 2017, the actress toldHarper’s Bazaarthat she doesn’t “have a chef or a driver or things like that” because she would rather take on those responsibilities on her own.
“I would be so unhappy if I had those things and I wouldn’t feel like I was being a real person anymore,” she said.
Winslet continued, “Just because I am in a position where I can have those things, it doesn’t mean that I have to. It just wouldn’t be right for my family — I know that my kids would absolutely hate it.”
“I want them to look back and remember my chicken soup and my packed lunches and that it was me on the school run.”
