Actress Michelle Williams is pregnant and engaged to director Thomas Kail eight-months after split from husband, Phil Elverum

Michelle Williams is ending the year 2019 on a good note eight-months after splitting from her husband, Phil Elverum.

According to People, the 39-year-old American actress is pregnant and engaged to Hamilton director Thomas Kail, and a source added that Williams' 14-year-old daughter Matilada played the 'matchmaker' between the pair. 

Williams and Kail were first spotted together in London, where Williams, 39, has been filming her superhero sequel Venom 2. The actress was later seen buying maternity clothes at a maternity boutique, Seraphine’s in Kensington.

The good news comes just eight months after her marriage to Mount Eerie musician Phil Elverum crashed. 

Williams was previously dating Heath Ledger, who she met in 2004 on the set of their movie Brokeback Mountain. She gave birth to their daughter Matilda in October 2005, and in late 2007, they seperated just months before Ledger was found dead at the age of 28, from a drug overdose.
