Michelle Williams and Her Four Children

Michelle Williams welcomed her first child, Matilda Rose, with then-boyfriend Heath Ledger in 2005. Though she is known for her roles in major film and television projects like Dawson's Creek, The Greatest Showman, and Dying for Sex, Williams maintains a private family life, keeping her children out of the public eye.

Family Growth and Privacy

After dating for a year, Williams and the late Heath Ledger had their daughter Matilda Rose in 2005. Years later, Matilda played a special role in Williams’s personal life by bringing her and Thomas Kail together. Williams and Kail secretly married and welcomed their son, Hart, in 2020.

The couple then had two more children in 2022 and 2025. The latter birth was unexpected by the public, and Williams has not shared details such as the names, genders, or birthdays of these youngest kids. Despite the secrecy, her devotion to her family is clear.

Williams said in a January 2023 interview with Entertainment Weekly.

In November 2022, a source told Us Weekly that Williams is “soaking up the joy” of family life.
