Kate Winslet Reveals She Skipped Titanic’s 1997 US Premiere Because Of THIS Tragic Reason: ‘It’s A Terrible Thing To…’

As an ardent admirer of Kate Winslet and her captivating journey through Hollywood, I am deeply moved by her profound recollections of her late boyfriend, Stephen Tredre, and how his loss significantly impacted her life choices, particularly during the release of Titanic.


As a lifestyle expert, I recently found myself reflecting on the poignant decision made by actress Kate Winslet in 1997 – choosing to forgo the US premiere of Titanic, a choice deeply rooted in her grief over the loss of her late boyfriend, Stephen Tredre. That year, cancer took his life, and it was this tragic event that compelled Kate to prioritize her personal sorrow over professional commitments.

In conversation about her past experiences, Winslet shared that she unfortunately couldn’t attend the premieres of Titanic in London and America. Her reason for missing these events primarily revolved around attending a funeral for Tredre.

Winslet expressed that it’s hard to contemplate this matter currently. They were together for five years before their separation in 1995, and unfortunately, Tredre passed away two years later at just 34 years old.

On the day of the London premiere, the actress wasn’t feeling well because she had contracted food poisoning. She shared, “During the London event, I was very sick. I had a terrible case of food poisoning and was even hospitalized in London. It was quite bizarre.” Later, at the U.S. premiere, Winslet paid her respects at Tredre’s funeral.

Kate Winslet’s bond with Tredre significantly impacted her professional decisions, particularly during a pivotal phase in her career. In an interview with The Guardian in 1999, she voiced her regret over having to attend the premiere of Titanic instead of being with her late boyfriend, who she was deeply connected to.

She recalled talks in which industry insiders claimed Tredre would have preferred her to attend the premiere. Winslet strongly disagreed, saying, “No, he bloody wouldn’t. Stephen would have wanted me at his funeral, and I’m going to be there.”

The actress talked about the challenges of meeting public expectations while dealing with personal grief. She said she was a little depressed by that, recalling how difficult it was to balance her newfound fame with the loss of someone she loved greatly.

Although Winslet didn’t attend the premieres, she watched Titanic in a completely filled theater in New York City. She found the experience to be otherworldly. She recalls thinking that it was a packed house and she was part of one of those films where every seat is occupied. The movie Titanic went on to become a worldwide hit, propelling her into superstardom alongside co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.
