Michelle Williams was spotted in Brooklyn this week, enjoying some quality mother-and-son time with her five-year-old son Hart Kail.
This marks the first time the actress has been seen in public since expanding her family with her fourth child, delivered via surrogate.
Williams, 44, looked effortlessly cool in a relaxed tank top, billowing white trousers, flip-flops, and a flannel shirt tied around her waist.
While her newest little one wasn’t in tow for the outing, the actress clearly cherished the quiet one-on-one moments with Hart, holding his hand as they wandered the city streets together.
Announcing Her Surrogate Baby
The arrival of Williams’ fourth child — and her first via surrogate — was revealed during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Guest host Tiffany Haddish complimented Williams on her post-baby figure, prompting the actress to give credit to her surrogate.
Williams smiled as she said, “Then I’ve got to give a big shout out to Christine, ‘cause this last baby did not come through my body.”
She also hinted at the baby’s sex, adding, “But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine.
Maybe you’re watching out there — thank you, Christine.”
A Growing Family
Michelle Williams is no stranger to motherhood.
She shares a 19-year-old daughter, Matilda, with her late ex, Heath Ledger, who tragically passed in 2008.
Alongside Hart and her second child with husband Thomas Kail — born in 2022 — the actress now has three children under five at home, thanks to her surrogate.
She expressed her gratitude again, saying, “Thanks to Christine, I have three under 5 at home,” highlighting the joy and chaos of raising a bustling young family while maintaining a career in Hollywood.
Balancing Motherhood and Career
Williams opened up about juggling her work and family life, admitting it isn’t always easy.
“Everything’s good and under control. I’m the adult. I’m trying to figure out the sort of life-work balance,” she told the late-night host.
She reflected on self-care, joking about the challenges of finding time for herself: “I hear a lot of people talking about self-care, and I’m just wondering when. Because I’m a working mom.
I already have the guilt, and I don’t want to take more time away from them, but I understand I need to fill up the tank.”
Finding Moments of Everyday Humor
Even in rare moments of privacy, Williams finds humor in everyday life.
She joked about visiting “our fine local establishments of government bureaucracy,” saying, “You say, ‘I’m sorry, honey.
But one day you’re going to grow up, and you’re going to get a job.
And you’re going to pay taxes, and you’re going to need a Social Security number for that.’”
Her husband, Thomas Kail, is renowned for directing Broadway hits like Hamilton and In the Heights.
The couple wed in 2020, and together, they are navigating the whirlwind of a young, growing family.
A Family Full of Love
From quiet Brooklyn strolls to candid late-night chats, Michelle Williams is embracing her expanding family with gratitude, humor, and a touch of Hollywood flair.
Between parenting, career, and life with three children under five, it’s clear the actress is making the most of every fleeting moment with her loved ones.
