Rise to Stardom
After he began working as a model, Louis Dowler gained recognition for his appearances in advertisement campaigns for Burberry clothing. He went on to grace the covers of several magazines and also modeled for brands like Tommy Bahama. However, his fame skyrocketed when he started dating actress Kate Winslet, known for her role in Titanic. Since then, Dowler has remained in the news for their messy breakup, his subsequent marriage to and separation from Jennifer Esposito, and for the lawsuit he and his business partners filed against Esposito.
Family & Personal Life
Louis Dowler was born in 1975 in Penzance, United Kingdom to Alexander Dowler. He holds a bachelor’s degree in strategic marketing. Dowler is best known for his high-profile relationships with Kate Winslet and Jennifer Esposito. He began dating Winslet in 2010 after her separation from her second husband, film director Sam Mendes. The couple was inseparable for a time, attending various fashion shows and award events together in 2010 and 2011. However, they separated in 2011 following a visit to Richard Branson’s estate on Necker Island, where Winslet met Ned Rocknroll, who would later become her husband. Dowler was devastated by the split and expressed his feelings in an interview with ‘The Daily Mail’, describing the whole incident as “still very raw for me”.
After his breakup with Winslet, Dowler eventually found love again with Jennifer Esposito, who had also experienced a failed marriage with actor Bradley Cooper. Dowler and Esposito bonded over their shared experiences and began dating in 2012. They announced their engagement in May 2014 and got married on November 16, 2014, in New York City. However, their marriage faced challenges due to their involvement in the gluten-free bakery ‘Jennifer’s Way’, which Dowler had invested in. The couple had differences regarding the bakery’s operations, leading to their eventual divorce in March 2016. According to Dowler’s Instagram profile, he is now engaged to a woman he refers to as Bubba.
Controversies & Scandals
Louis Dowler made headlines again in early 2016 when he filed a $43 million lawsuit against his ex-wife Jennifer Esposito and other investors in the ‘Jennifer’s Way Bakery’. The lawsuit alleged that Esposito had “hijacked” the company website and redirected it to her personal blog, where she advised customers not to use the products as she was no longer involved with the company. Esposito, who had relocated to Denmark to deal with her legal issues, claimed that she had been misled by her investors and was pushed out of the company. She filed for divorce from Dowler around the same time the lawsuit was filed.
