While receiving the award, she dedicated many kind words to Leo, who sat in the audience blowing kisses at her. “Leo, I’m so happy I can stand here and tell you how much I love you and how much I’ve loved you for 13 years…I love you with all my heart, I really do,” she said, with tears in her eyes.

Interestingly, when it was announced that Kate was the winner of the award, the first person she hugged was Leo, and her husband was the next.
