(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kate Winslet has reportedly rekindled her romance with model Louis Dowler.

The pair enjoyed a brief relationship last year, before splitting in November. At the time it was claimed Kate stopped seeing Louis after four months because she wanted to focus on her two children and her career. However, Kate and Louis were spotted together in the US over the weekend, sparking rumours they are back together.

"The Mildred Pierce star and handsome Dowler were seen driving together in Woodstock on Sunday," reports the New York Post.

Kate originally began dating Louis after announcing she had split from her husband, director Sam Mendes, in March last year. The 35-year-old actress who has ten-year-old daughter Mia with her first husband Jim Threapleton and son Joe, seven, with Sam was so smitten with Louis that she introduced him to her parents. However, she later decided that she needed time alone.

"Louis was just the tonic Kate needed after her painful split from Sam and they had a wonderful time," a source said soon after the break-up. "However, they have realised their relationship isn't working and Kate needs space to be on her own." (C) Cover Media
