HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Kate Winslet has reportedly jumped back into the dating scene after splitting with Sam Mendes.
The Oscar-winning actress has a new man in British model Louis Dowler, a source tells London's News of the World.
Winslet and Dowler, both 34, have reportedly been inseparable since they were introduced through mutual friends a few months ago.
"They've been on lots of dates and get on really well," the insider tells the publication. "It's early days for them but they enjoy each other's company. They have been desperate to keep the relationship under wraps so they've been a bit low-key so far."
The 6-foot Dowler has appeared in fashion campaigns for the likes of Burberry and Paul Smith.
"Louis has a good sense of humor and really is a lovely guy," said the source. "He loves to surf and he's really quite engaging and very down-to-earth. He's a good looking guy and gets lots of attention when he's out and about - but he's not your typical model. Not at all big-headed."
Winslet and Mendes separated in March after nearly seven years of marriage. They have one child together, a 6-year-old son named Joe. The Reader star also has a 9-year-old daughter, Mia, with her first husband Jim Threapleton, whom she divorced in 2001.
