Could Kate Winslet be dating Richard Branson’s nephew?

“Ned was heartbroken and went to Necker to take his mind off things,” a source told British tabloid The Sun of Rocknroll, 33, who separated from his wife, heiress Eliza Cowdray, earlier this year. “But when Kate came out they really hit it off.”

The pair have been dating ever since, British reports say. They were photographed walking together in central London earlier this week, both in town to attend the funeral of Richard Branson’s father, Ted.

Ned, who legally changed his name from Ned Abel Smith, works for Branson’s space initiative, Virgin Galactic. A rep for Winslet had no comment.

Who knew that during a fie sparks would fly (pun intended)
