Michelle Williams is expecting her third child. The Oscar-nominated actress and her husband Thomas Kail will welcome the baby this fall, Variety has learned
“It’s totally joyous,” Williams says of her pregnancy. "As the years go on, you sort of wonder what they might hold for you or not hold for you...
It’s exciting to discover that something you want again and again is available one more time. That good fortune is not lost on me or my family.”
Williams and Kail share a son Hart, who was born amid the pandemic in 2020. Williams also has a daughter Matilda, now 16, with the late Heath Ledger.
In addition to announcing her pregnancy, the Fosse/Verdon actress opens up about giving birth to her son during the pandemic
“It was a reminder that life goes on,” Williams says. “The world we brought a baby into is not the world we thought we were bringing a baby into,...
but the baby is ignorant of that. He experiences the unmitigated joy of discovery and the happiness of a loving home.”
“There’s nothing that makes you committed to a better world than raising a great kid,” says Williams. “It’s the ultimate creative act.”
“The most ecstatic moments of life and art are the transcendent ones,” says Williams. “Having children is like that. You combine your DNA with someone else to create a new life.”
