The Oscar-winning actors first met in 1996 on the set of James Cameron’s Titanic, where they played the iconic roles of Rose and Jack.
Since the 1997 film’s release, the pair have remained close, reuniting for Revolutionary Road in 2008 and supporting each other’s careers ever since.
Kate previously reflected on the 25th anniversary of Titanic in December 2022, calling the film’s lasting impact “just magical.”

She told Good Morning America at the time: "It's amazing and incredible to have been part of something that, you know, is so steeped in nostalgia for people and still resonates with people in the way that it does.
"It's a huge, huge honor that people still love something that I was a part of all those years ago."
Nearly three decades after Titanic became a global phenomenon, Leonardo reunited with Kate to support her latest film, Lee.
Directed by Ellen Kuras in her feature debut, the biographical drama stars Kate as Lee Miller, a model-turned-World War II photojournalist chronicling the war for Vogue.

The film, based on Antony Penrose’s biography The Lives of Lee Miller, took eight years to complete, with Kate stepping in to cover salaries during financial challenges.
The Reading, UK, native revealed that attitudes toward women in the film industry were changing, but that it was an ongoing fight.
She further railed at how she had been patronized by male executives when trying to raise money for Lee.

She told Vogue in September 2023: “The men who think you want and need their help are unbelievably outraging.
“I’ve even had a director say to me: ‘Listen, you do my film and I’ll get your little Lee funded…’ Little!
“Or we’d have potential male investors saying things like ‘Tell me, why am I supposed to like this woman?’”
Lee has received mixed to positive reviews, with a 67% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 136 critics and an average score of 6.5/10, praised particularly for Kate’s “compelling” performance.
"I know that they are real friends," a reader commented
