His heart will go on. 

Kate Winslet's ex-husband Sam Mendes is going public with the new lady in his life. A spokesman for the director, 46, confirmed to the Daily Mail Sunday that Mendes and actress Rebecca Hall, 29, "are in a relationship."

In 2010, unconfirmed rumors swirled that Hall was responsible for the decline of Mendes and Winslet's 7-year marriage. The Daily Mail claimed that Mendes and the Vicky Cristina Barcelona star became romantically involved after meeting in 2006.

A rep for Mendes called the charge "utter nonsense...untrue and ridiculous." 

Sources have told Us Weekly that it wasn't infidelity but career-related issues that caused Winslet, 36, and Mendes' marriage to unravel. The duo are parents to a 7-year-old son, Joe; Winslet also has a 10-year-old daughter, Mia, with ex-hubby Jim Threapleton.

Mendes isn't the only one who moved on; Winslet first rebounded with hunky model Louis Dowler and is currently dating 61-year-old British billionaire Sir Richard Branson's nephew Ned Rocknroll.

    Yeah I agree with Ali.. even quoted you in this blog post about Kate, Ned and Sam : http://bit.ly/rrP6dc Sam and Kate were soul mates but as we know, we have more than one soul mate and now according to what we see and to what the calculations say - Ned and Kate are soulmates. I hope it works great for them... As for Sam and Rebecca.. ah.. u should see their match score in the blog post!

    Although Sam's Leo and Rebecca's Taurus will superficially attract each other, Tebecca's moon sign of Aries will soon start to compete with Leo. They score 17 points on the AstroPal app, but their Chinese elements do not bode well for a long lasting relationship.

    I don't know if what Elsa says is true, after all Kate is working on finding husband #3 - and she's only 36. Something about not being able to take direction?
