 * Platonic Life Partners: Has stayed close friends with her Titanic co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, to the point where her kids call him "Uncle Leo". DiCaprio mentioned this made filming Revolutionary Road slightly weird as kissing Kate was like kissing "a family member." (Not to mention that her then-husband Sam Mendes was directing the film, and thus, watching all of it.)
