Michelle Williams Happy ending

THE STAR SPILLS ON DEATH, SEX AND THE LOVES OF HER LIFE

- Jennie Noonan

On April 2, Michelle Williams, in a plunging pastel Proenza Schouler gown, enjoyed a rare public night out in New York with her husband, producer and director Thomas Kail, at the premiere of her new miniseries, Dying for Sex (streaming now on Disney+). Just weeks earlier, the couple had welcomed their fourth child via surrogate. Williams is already mum to daughter Matilda, 19, whose dad is the late actor Heath Ledger, and with Kail, she shares son Hart, 4, anda third child born in 2022. “They couldn’t be happier to expand their family,” a source told People magazine. “And Matilda has been doting on her younger siblings.”

Dying For Sex, created by New Girl writers Elizabeth Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock, with Australian filmmaker Shannon Murphy directing six out of the eight episodes, is the first project that five-time Oscar nomince Williams, 44, has tackled after taking a few years off from acting to spend time with her young family. The dramedy is based on the podcast of the same name, hosted by Nikki Boyer about the real-life story of her best friend, Molly Kochan, who, after receiving a diagnosis of Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, left her husband of 15 years and decided to live whatever days she had left in pursuit of sexual awakening and pleasure.
