Golden Globe-winning actress Michelle Williams has been photographed enjoying a New York City stroll with her newborn baby, marking the first public sighting of her fourth child. The outing comes five months after the star revealed she had quietly welcomed the infant via a surrogate.
A Low-Key New York Outing
The 45-year-old actress, fresh from her recent Golden Globe win, appeared in good spirits during the Wednesday walk. Michelle cut a casual yet chic figure, sporting a pair of sunglasses and carrying her baby in a carrier. The little one was bundled up against the winter chill in a cosy blue outdoor suit and a matching hat.
Williams wrapped up in a long black coat, layered with a red checked scarf and blue denim jeans. She styled her blonde hair in a neat up-do and kept comfortable in a pair of tan boat shoes. The Dawson's Creek star was seen chatting animatedly on her phone while walking, flashing a smile as she multitasked motherhood and her call.
A Family Built with Love and Gratitude
The baby is the four-time Oscar nominee’s third child with her husband, theatre director and producer Thomas Kail, 48. Michelle first shared the happy news during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in August last year, hosted by comedian Tiffany Haddish.
The revelation came when Haddish complimented Michelle on her post-baby figure. The actress was quick to redirect the praise, saying, 'Then I've got to give a big shout out to Christine, 'cuz this last baby did not come through my body.' She went on to hint at the baby's sex, emotionally adding, 'But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you're watching out there - thank you, Christine.'
Balancing a Busy Household and Career
Michelle Williams is now a mother to four children. Her eldest is 19-year-old daughter Matilda, whom she shared with her late ex-partner, actor Heath Ledger. With Thomas Kail, she has a four-year-old son, Hart, a second child born in 2022 whose name remains private, and now their newborn daughter.
In her late-night show appearance, the actress spoke candidly about the challenges of juggling her Hollywood career with a bustling home life, noting she now has 'three under 5 at home.' She admitted finding the work-life balance difficult, sharing, 'I'm a working mom. Like, I already have the guilt, and I don't want to take more time away from them, but I understand, like, I need to fill up the tank.'
The sighting follows just days after Michelle won the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series for Dying for Sex. She was not present at the Los Angeles ceremony, as reports indicated she was in London preparing for her one-woman stage production of Dracula.
