What Happened To Rose’s Mother After Titanic (Did They Ever Reunite?)

Rose DeWitt Bukater and her mother, Ruth, part ways in Titanic as the ship is sinking, but the movie never addresses what happens to Ruth later on. Rose and Ruth’s relationship throughout the film is complicated. Rose’s father is no longer in the picture, and as Ruth reminds her daughter while she’s lacing her corset, all their money is gone. In an attempt to maintain their status in their upper-class circle, Ruth is set on Rose marrying Cal. Kate Winslet and Frances Fisher do an impeccable job bringing the tension between the characters to life, which leaves viewers rooting for Rose to break free.
