However, Kate has denied such assumptions and confirmed that the duo was actually attending a fundraiser. “We weren’t on vacation at all!” she told E!, “Leo did his annual fundraiser for the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. He and I went together and we auctioned off ‘dinner with Jack and Rose’ and actually raised $1.35 million. It was extraordinary.”

Kate married businessman Ned Rocknroll in 2012. She further declared, “I’ve never been on a holiday with Leo,” putting an end to all the rumours and allegations.

After starring in Titanic together, the pair played a distressed married couple in 2008’s Revolutionary Road which was directed by Kate's ex-husband Sam Mendes.

Leonardo DiCaprio eyed for upcoming 'Batman' villain movie

Kate has always been open about her  “unique” relationship with Leo; “We know each other in a very unique way, I think, because of the experience we both had on that film and having to take care of one another,” she explained.

Although Kate has made it very clear that she was not on holiday with Leo, fans still continue to anticipate more than just a friendship between the two:

I want Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio to be a couple more than I want a lot of things.
