Ever since they starred as lovers Jack and Rose in the 1997 movie Titanic, fans have been obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet’s relationship.
More than two decades since they first worked together, the actors have remained the best of friends. In fact, Leo even walked Kate down the aisle at her 2012 wedding to her husband, Edward Abel Smith, formerly known as Ned Rocknroll.
