New York, March 28

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet is "bearing up" after her split from filmmaker husband Sam Mendes, says the star's sister Anna.

Winslet and Mendes' seven-year marriage came to an end at the beginning of 2010 and the two have since been at the centre of speculation that their marriage fell apart following arguments over Mendes' friendship with English actress Rebecca Hall.

Hollywood.com reports that despite the rumours, Winslet's family insists she is adjusting well to single life and her actress sister Anna revealed the family is regularly in touch to offer their support.

"(She's) bearing up. She's fine. She rings us up. We're a close family. We are trying to have a get-together for Easter," said Anna.
