Michelle Williams Opens Up About Finding A Balance Between Work & Being a Mom of Three

Michelle Williams is getting reflective about being a busy, working mom of three.

In a new cover story with Entertainment Weekly, the 42-year-old actress opened up about finding a balance between her passion of performance and being there for her three children – Matilda Ledger, Hart Kail and her newest child, whose name has not been released.

Michelle admits that she’s “continuously searching” for a balance between it all, “because [it] isn’t a stable place. Balance means that you’re always adjusting.”

“You have to figure it out because we have to stay in the workforce,” she added before saying that like many, she wants to have it all.

Michelle says that “my heart obviously belongs to my children; they tug at it the most. But I really want to be able to have both. And I think that it requires deep thought and learning and the support of other women to figure out how to get through it.”

“I think that having kids is really great for that. I’m not going to go take something home and pollute my kids’ experience,” she said. “I think, ultimately, I can remember that it’s not my life, it’s not my pain or my sorrow. It’s something that moves through me and then it moves out of me.”

Michelle went on, “I didn’t lose children in a fire [as in Manchester], and there are people who are going home tonight who won’t be tucking their kids into bed. And so I don’t think I’ve ever had a hard time keeping perspective about what’s mine and what belongs to the women that I play. Ultimately, this work is a joy. What’s difficult is living up to your standard for yourself, your own ideal.”

In another recent interview, Michelle discussed how she would feel if her children followed in her acting footsteps.
