Michelle Williams stopped by Live with Kelly and Ryan on Thursday (April 4) and opens up about her daughter, Matilda Ledger, with the late actor Heath Ledger on what would have been his 40th birthday.
The 38-year-old actress talked about Matilda’s transformation into a teenager. When asked how things are with her 13-year-old daughter, Michelle said, “So far, so good.”
“Every morning we wake up and I look to see if the transformation has happened, and if it’s turned into the next level that I keep hearing about, but so far, we’re not there yet,” the actress said of raising a teenager.
Michelle and Heath met on the set of Brokeback Mountain in 2004 and welcomed Matilda in 2005. They split in 2007 and Heath passed away a year later in 2008.
Watch the full interview:
Heath Ledger‘s sister Kate is opening up about her late brother in the new issue of People magazine.
She particularly mentions how in love he was with Michelle Williams.
“He was totally smitten with her and couldn’t wait to bring her home,” Kate told the mag. “We all instantly loved her too, so it was great.”
As for their daughter Matilda, 11, Kate said, “Everything she does, her movement I suppose, reminds me of Heath. I think the first five years after Heath passed, every time I’d see Matilda [I] would be in tears. Now, I am really happy that I am at a stage that I can see Matilda and be happy and feel her daddy’s energy through her.”

“I couldn’t stop crying,” she told Porter magazine about the film. “It’s like the darkest part of your heart, something happening to your child … She’s making a brave choice, moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day. Because it is a choice. I would exit … It would be so much easier than living with the loss.”
Michelle is currently raising Matilda by herself following Heath‘s death from accidental overdose in January 2008, when he was 28.
“In all honesty, for pretty much everything else, I feel like I’m a believer in not fighting circumstances, accepting where you are and where you’ve been,” Michelle added. “In pretty much all senses but one. I would be able to go totally down that line of thinking were it not for Matilda not having her dad. You know that’s just something that doesn’t … I mean, it just won’t ever be right.”
Michelle Williams and her bundled up daughter Matilda hold hands while heading to the bus stop on Friday (November 15) in New York City.
