No chance of reconciliation, says Kate Winslet's husband

Kate Winslet's estranged husband Jim Threapleton has dismissed chances of a reconciliation with the star.

The 27-year-old film director, reunited with their baby daughter for the weekend, said the possibility of them getting back together was "not even worth talking about".

Speaking for the first time on the couple's split, he praised the actress for being a "spectacular mother".

According to reports, it was the first time he had seen daughter Mia since Titanic star Winslet announced their marriage was over on Monday.

Threapleton arrived on a scooter at the home he shared with Winslet in north London yesterday afternoon.

He was quoted as saying: "We are looking to the future for Mia. We are looking to have a positive future for our daughter, that is the really important thing. It is amicable and we are still in constant contact.

"I would like to state categorically that Kate and I have taken an absolutely equal share in looking after Mia. She is a spectacular mother and I am extremely proud of both her and Mia."

Asked about the reasons for the split, Threapleton replied: "That is a private matter between Kate and me. Anything that has gone on in our relationship is entirely a private matter.

"As Kate said, this is entirely amicable. We see it as a positive step taken for Mia's benefit."

Threapleton was pictured still wearing his wedding ring yesterday but Winslet's was missing when she was pictured a few days ago.
