Even though Michelle Williams is a secretive woman, there is a secret she cannot keep hidden. According to People, she is engaged to Thomas Kail and they are expecting a child together. He went from directing her on Fosse/Verdon to directing her in the bedroom.
This will be her second marriage. She secretly married Phil Elverum in 2018 and divorced him earlier this year. The actress also has a 14-year-old daughter, Matilda, with the late Heath Ledger.
Besides directing, Kail is good friends with Lin Manuel-Miranda and the two produced Hamilton and Into the Heights together.
I have a feeling the news broke because she will be showing on Sunday when she walks the Golden Globes red carpet with him. Kind of a preemptive strike by her people.
Michelle Williams leads a very secret life even though she is one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood. So secret that she has quietly been dating rocker Phil Elverum, who is known as Mount Erie, and the two of them recently got married. But no one knew it until today.
She broke the news to Vanity Fair and the buried the lede towards the end of the article. The actress did not reveal when they met, but she says that they were introduced through a friend. Like Williams lost Heath Ledger ten y, he lost his wife to cancer in 2016 and they had one daughter before she died.
Earlier this month, he and his daughter moved across the country to live with Williams and her daughter, Matilda, 12. Besides taking that big step in their relationship, they took another one too. They had a small private ceremony in Adirondacks that included a handful of friends and family.
Williams never gave up love and described the “very sacred and very special,” relationship she has with her new husband. She said, “Ultimately the way he loves me is the way I want to live my life on the whole. I work to be free inside of the moment. I parent to let Matilda feel free to be herself, and I am finally loved by someone who makes me feel free.” With a love like that it explains why he is the first person to get her to be his bride.
While will probably hear very little more about their marriage, be happy we at least heard that they said I do recently. That is more than she normally tells people.
BTW can someone tell me how Busy Phillips has kept quiet all of this time and not screamed the joyous news from as many as rooftops as possible.
Before Michelle Williams was the good girl on Dawson’s Creek, she was a very bad one on Step By Step. She looks the same now as she did when she as 14 in that 1994 episode.
As we know, Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams had to refilm scenes of All The Money in the World when disgraced Kevin Spacey was abruptly fired and replaced by Christopher Plummer about a month before the movie’s replace date.
Williams told previously told USA Today, “I said I’d be wherever they needed me, whenever they needed me. And they could have my salary, they could have my holiday, whatever they wanted. Because I appreciated so much that they were making this massive effort.” She meant it because according to the newspaper, she made $80 a day totaling less that $1,000. Noble, right?
Well, the same cannot be said about Mark Wahlberg, who the paper says was paid $1.5 million for the reshoots. Over 1,000 times more the actress who received a Golden Globe nomination for the role. How f*cked up is that? As a man who loves his mom, his wife and 2 daughters, he needs to donate that salary to #TimesUp. He needs to let women know it is ridiculous he got paid $1,499,000 more than his co-star for doing what he needed to do to save the movie.
What do you think?
BTW now we know why he is one of the highest paid actors and she is one of the most nominated actresses in her generation. It seems like one cares about the money and the other one the art.

Before Michelle Williams was dating Dawson on Dawson’s Creek, she was dating Brad on Home Improvement. How cute was the 14 year old in that 1995 episode?
