Michelle Williams Welcomes Fourth Child Via Surrogate

Michelle Williams has publicly confirmed the birth of her fourth child, a baby girl, born via surrogate, during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The actress expressed her gratitude to her surrogate, Christine, emphasizing that the youngest child did not come through her body but is a miracle nonetheless. Williams and her husband, Thomas Kail, also share two other young children under the age of five, including their son Hart and a child born in 2022, while she is also mother to her 19-year-old daughter Matilda, from her relationship with the late Heath Ledger. She discussed the challenges of balancing work and motherhood, expressing feelings of guilt as a working mom while recognizing the importance of self-care. Williams humorously shared that her self-care has involved navigating government bureaucracy, such as social security office visits, as a way to find moments of quiet. This announcement coincides with Williams’ busy period amid awards season for her role in the Hulu miniseries "Dying for Sex."
