Michelle Williams, 42, who plays Anne Weying in the movie Venom, tends to keep her private affairs out of the public eye, but her romances have always been of intrigue to her admirers. The actress was once engaged to the late actor Heath Ledger and has been previously married twice. Like several other Hollywood couples, Michelle Williams and Thomas Kail met while working together.
Williams and Kail collaborated in 2018 on the acclaimed miniseries Fosse/Verdon, which Kail executive produced and directed several episodes of. Williams played the lead role. But the pair didn’t start dating immediately. Williams and guitarist Phil Elverum were still married at the time, while Kail was dating his ex-wife Angela Christian.
Williams and Kail met after the end of one other’s individual relationships, and they had a quick romance that saw them become engaged and have a baby together within a year. They have been wed since 2020 and are soon to have their second child. Matilda Ledger, Williams’ adolescent daughter with the late Heath Ledger, is also a member of their soon-to-be five-person family. The Dawson’s Creek actress and Hamilton director often keep their relationship a secret, but over the years, certain adorable moments have been aired in public, such as when they were spotted together on a red carpet and Williams giving a shout-out during an awards ceremony speech.
“As women and as girls, things can happen to our bodies that are not our choice,” “I’ve tried my very best to live a life of my own making and not just a series of events that happened to me, but one that I could stand back and look at and recognize my handwriting all over it. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without employing a woman’s right to choose. To choose when to have my children and with whom. When I felt supported and able to balance our lives, knowing, as all mothers know, that the scales must and will tilt toward our children, Tommy and Matilda, I can’t wait to come home to you.” mentioning Thomas and her daughter Matilda during an emotional acceptance speech.
Thomas Kail
Michelle’s most recent partner is a 44-year-old theatre director named Thomas Kail. The pair secretly married in a modest ceremony in March 2020, approximately three months after becoming engaged in December. They got married while the Oscar nominee was pregnant with Hart Kail, the couple’s first child, who was born in June 2020. Not to mention, on November 1, 2022, Michelle and Danny brought their second kid into the world. In 2019, while working on FX’s Fosse/Verdon, Thomas and his wife became acquainted. Michelle portrayed Gwen Verdon alongside Sam Rockwell in the TV show. Her spouse was wed to Broadway actress Angela Christian until their separation in 2019. Thomas and Michelle publicized their love in a red-carpet event in January 2020.
The same evening, Williams’ close friend Busy Philipps uploaded a picture on Instagram that featured the super duper private pair. Williams’ Golden Globe was on the table when Philipps posted a photo of the trio eating at Jon & Vinny’s in Los Angeles. Williams put her hand on Kail’s arm as he cuddled up to his fiance and laid his head on her shoulder.
Heath Ledger
It may be one of Michelle’s most noteworthy relationships, despite the fact that they never got married. Michelle and the late actor, who passed away on January 22, 2008, got to know each other in 2004 while they were both working on the revolutionary film Brokeback Mountain. As soon as their daughter, Matilda, was born on October 28, 2005, sparks began to fly between these two.
Michelle described her encounter with the actor from 10 Things I Hate About You to GQ in 2012 as “amazing.” Reportedly, Michelle and Heath got engaged shortly after their 2004 first date and had their red carpet Oscars debut in 2006. However, they broke up in September 2007, just four months before Heath’s tragic passing.
Phil Elverum
The 44-year-old musician Phil Elverum, whom the Emmy-winning actress initially wed in 2018, was by her side as she entered the altar. Her ex-boyfriend has played in several bands, including Mount Eerie, The Microphones, and Old Time Relijun, and Dr. Phil’s wedding with Michelle was not his first either; from 2004 until 2016, he was with Canadian singer Geneviève Castrée.
Jeremy Jackson
A former cast member of Dr. Drew revealed that he dated Williams for two years in the 1990s on The Howard Stern Show in 2011. He asserted, “We fooled around.” He mentioned that she was her discreet rendezvous partner.
