Get updates from Daisy May Sitch:

Congratulations to Kate Winslet who secretly wed her fiance Ned Rocknroll earlier this month in New York. We love wedding news and that's once, twice, three times a bride for Kate. The question is: who is the Rocknroll man that swept Winslet off her feet? Well, the real name is Abel Smith and he's the nephew of Virgin billionaire Sir Richard Branson. It's been a big year for celebrities tying the knot and we wish the happy couple all the best.

No I think she is after Branson's money. He isn't very well groomed.

Why are there people that seem to be always in the public eye for doing not that much but seem to get all the breaks.

I love the bit, " The question is who is Ned Rocknroll", well I am sure the only people who can answer that are Neds close friends.
I may be wrong but with a mega ritch Missus, plus,Uncle Richard in the background, I doubt Mr Rocknroll has to overdo Himself in order to earn a nice fat crust.

He must be really desperate to marry her, with her track record!.
Married twice, divorced twice, with two kids, by two different fathers...
I give it five to eight years, and she'll be divorced again and 'hunting' around for another poor sap!.

It's money money money and vanity, ego and self-interest comes before their kids or anything. But looks fade and in 20 years time she will be knackered like everyone else, but I suppose she can be miserable in comfort, lol

The vows they make mean nothing to them. They don't know the meaning of the word love. It is like pass the parcel with them. They go from one to the other. Sad really.
