Not that we thought she would…in a million years. But Kate Winslet fans can breathe a sigh of relief: She has officially revealed she is not taking her new husband, Ned Rocknroll’s surname. Phew!
“I was never going to change my name to Rocknroll,” the Oscar-winning actress tells the UK’s Telegraph. “I’ve never changed my name to anything, so I didn’t see a reason to start now.”

In fact, she likes her own name just fine. “I quite like Kate Winslet,” she admits. “In fact I think it’s very flashy.” Ha!
