Ananova Winslet names daughter Mia 20:28 Sunday 15th October 2000. Kate Winslet has named her baby girl Mia, her publicist has revealed. The 25-year-old actress chose the name - which comes from the Italian word meaning "mine" - after deciding none of the names she had shortlisted were suitable. The baby weighed 8lb 9oz after she was born at a London hospital at 5.40am on Thursday, says her New York-based agent Robert Garlock. Winslet and her director husband Jim Threapleton, 26, are still caring for the baby in hospital, but are due to return home tomorrow. Mr Garlock said: "Kate and Jim had drawn up a list of 10 names, but when the baby was born none of them seemed right. "Then Mia came to them, and it seemed just right. "There is no family significance, they just thought it was a really beautiful name." He added: "Kate said Mia was absolutely gorgeous and that they are all doing very well." Winslet was said to be looking forward to a seven-month career break so she can raise her daughter. Mia is the couple's first child. 'Titanic' Star Winslet Gives Birth LONDON (AP) - "Titanic" star Kate Winslet and her newborn daughter Mia are doing great and will be leaving the hospital Monday, a publicist for the British actress said Sunday. Mia - who weighed 8 pounds, 9 ounces, when she was born Thursday at a London hospital - is the first child for 25-year-old Winslet and her husband, Jim Threapleton. The couple met in 1997 on the set of the British film "Hideous Kinky," in which Winslet starred and Threapleton, 26, served as assistant director. They married the next year. Winslet's New York-based agent Robert Garlock said the choice of the name Mia was a spur-of-the-moment decision. "Kate and Jim had drawn up a list of 10 names, but when the baby was born none of them seemed right," he said. "Then Mia came to them, and it seemed just right." Winslet, who spent the summer working on "Enigma," a British film about code-breakers during World War II, reportedly is planning to take a seven-month career break.

Hollywood star Kate Winslet and her producer husband Jim Threapleton are preparing to bring their little daughter home from hospital. Baby Mia was born last week, weighing in at 8lb 9oz. The 25-year-old Titanic actress chose the name after deciding none of the names she had short-listed were suitable. Winslet's agent Robert Garlock said: "Kate and Jim had drawn up a list of 10 names, but when the baby was born none of them seemed right. "Then Mia came to them, and it seemed just right. "There is no family significance, they just thought it was a really beautiful name."
He added: "Kate said Mia was absolutely gorgeous and that they are all doing very well." Winslet was said to be looking forward to a seven-month career break so she can raise her daughter. Kate, who is from Reading in Berkshire, and 26-year-old Jim married two years ago after meeting during the filming of Hideous Kinky in Morocco. Winslet was working right up until Mia's birth. Five months into her pregnancy she filmed the war drama Enigma, based on a best-selling Second World War story by Robert Harris. And during the summer, she bought a £200,000 home in Cornwall and an old pump house overlooking the Thames in London. Kate and Jim have already announced they plan to have several children.
UK Telegraph By Hugh Davies, Entertainment Correspondent KATE WINSLET is to take a seven-month break from her Hollywood career to be with her daughter, Mia. Motherhood, she said, was more important than stardom. The 25-year-old star of Titanic, who married Jim Threapleton, 26, the son of an RAF officer, two years ago, was particularly happy, she said, because her sister, Beth, had just found out that she was pregnant. Robert Garlock, Winslet's New York agent, said: "Kate and Jim had drawn up a list of 10 names, but when the baby was born, none of them seemed right. Then Mia, from the Italian 'mine', came to them, and it seemed just right. There is no family significance. They just thought it a beautiful name." Her father, Roger, said at the family home in Reading: "We are naturally over the moon about the birth. The first grandchild is always special and she is beautiful." He said that the baby, 8lb 9oz, was born on Thursday without complications. "Both are going fine, although I think Kate needs a bit of time to relax. We love the name of Mia. They haven't thought of a second name yet." Winslet met her husband, an assistant film director, on the set of Hideous Kinky in Morocco. They have established a production company, Telltale Films, to develop and produce British and European films. She said: "I adore babies and children, and Jim and I want three or four." |
