Reasons
1.Because these two are "the best actor/actress of their generation".
2.Because Kate has loved Leo for more than 13 years
3. 'cause Kate convinced Leo to take the part of Jack in Titanic
4. 'cause after finding out that she had to be naked in front of him, Kate decided to break the ice, and when they first met she flashed him.
5. 'cause: "As soon as Leonardo DiCaprio walked through the door, his "Titanic" costar gave him a full-body hug, then jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist,
so that the old buddies looked like a pitcher and catcher who'd just won the World Series."
6. 'cause she gave better performances when she was off-camera doing lines for Leo's close-up.
7. 'cause they were the two goofy kids on the set of Titanic.
8. 'cause they clicked the moment they met
9. 'cause Leo said: “She was my best friend for seven months.”
10. 'cause grossing Kate out was purely Leo’s job.
11. 'cause she has the kind of relationship with Leo that all the women in the world would envy
12. 'cause they are like brother and sister.
13. 'cause between shots, Kate and Leo would snuggle under a blanket in his trailer
14. 'cause even though that love scene between Rose and Jack so wasn't them, Kate thought it was quite nice.
15. 'cause they would sing to each other - the Bette Midler hit “Wind Beneath My Wings
16. 'cause when Kate got afraid of heights, Leo calmed her down.
17. 'cause she believed him when he said that they were safe.
18. 'cause they know each other inside and out.
19. 'cause Leo likes to spoil Kate's kids
20. 'cause they're doing another movie together.
21. 'cause they leave each other voicemails.

Kate's children refer to close friend Leonardo DiCaprio as "Uncle Leo".
Kate about Leo:
"And Leo I am so happy that I can stand here and tell you how much I love you and how much I've loved you for 13 years "
"He's brilliant. At first, I thought, 'Oh, is he going to be Hollywood stud-like?' But he's a really kind, wonderful person. He said to me one day early in the making of the movie, 'You know, I was kind of worried about you'. He thought I was going to be a perfect skin, which I am certainly not. It didn't take long for Leo to crack and see who I really am, and we became very close. but, I must say, he is absolutely gorgeous."
"I love him dearly. I bullied him into doing the movie, because it takes a long time for him to make decisions. He likes to be advised by all his close friends and family, which was terribly frustrating for me because, with me, it's always gut feeling. We became such good friends, so close, absolutely like brother and sister. We've talked about everything. We've laid our souls out on a slab to each other, in one way or another."
"Before we met, I thought, 'I'm just going to fall completely in love with this guy'. Once I met him, I thought, 'Well, it's true. Leonardo DiCaprio is incredibly beautiful, but no way'. He's just so normal and so — what's the word I'm looking for? — fundamental. Very chatty and so funny that we laughed and joked around. Everyody kept saying, 'God, you two just get on so well'. Leo and I sometimes still talk about it and say, 'Oh, should we have an affair just for the hell of it?' But we wind up agreeing, 'No, we couldn't, because we'd laugh too much'. We just wouldn't be able to take it seriously."
"There were days when I would say, 'God, I can't be without Leo'. He was my rock. We were such a team, nothing could break us, nothing could come near us."
"Working with Leonardo DiCaprio — he's a bit gorgeous, and I was worried that he was going to find me all stuffy and Shakespearean and English. But the second we met, we just completely clicked. We'd do the most ridiculous things to each other. He'd be tickling me, groping me, winding me up. And I'd be doing the same thing back, sort of grabbing his bum."
"He's probably the world's most beautiful looking man, yet he doesn't think he's that gorgeous. And to me, he's just smelly, farty Leo."
"He is a great kisser. There's a scene that's been cut out of Titanic where we're running through the ship's boiler room and we have this big kiss. It was eight o'clock in the morning and neither of us felt like doing it. We found ourselves doing the scene and we were at it and there was this look that passed between us for a second that sort of said: "Um, not bad for eight o'clock in the morning when you feel you're about to die from overtiredness."
"Leo's my playmate. When we were filming, the ship's railing starts to shake, and you just think, "If this railing goes, I'm a goner". I turned to Leo and said, "I want to have a baby". And he said, "Oh, shut up". I said, "Well, I do". And he said, "Now?"
"Leo and I just hung on to each other for dear life. We had cigarettes hidden in the pockets of our costumes and the two of us literally were having conversations like ,'What would happen if we died?' and I'd say things like 'Leo, I love you, I really do love you so much. You are a very important person to me and I'd have your babies. I would, I'd have your babies, really, it's fine."
"He’s adorable, kind, always smiling. Thank goodness we didn’t have any love affair: with him I have the most beautiful and important relationship in the show business. I’m proud of him. I’m proud of how he’s trying to focus the attention of the world on the ecology problems. You don’t know how many things he knows about this. He’s able to tell you how many watts a bulb burns if you let it on one hour more"

Leo about Kate:
"She was my best friend for seven months. We'd unload the stresses of the shoot to each other, vent to each other, watch out for each other. Kate was just the perfect person to work with because she was very much one of the guys, and it would have been much harder without her. We were partners."
"There were times when I was in tears. It was the toughest shoot, lasting for six or seven months, and Kate Winslet and I were both driven very hard in a lot of difficult water scenes. There was no point in complaining. We were filming in a giant tank in Mexico and the film was costing a fortune, so all the complaining in the world was done in privacy, with just the two of us. We did not have to vent it on anyone else. Sometimes Kate was in tears, other times I was, and occasionally we both were. It was that kind of job. But Kate is awesome. She is beautiful, tremendously talented and is really down to earth. I don't think England realizes what a treasure she is."
