Michelle and theater director Thomas got engaged in 2019 after working together on Fosse/Verdon and married in March 2020.
They have son Hart, three, who they welcomed in June 2020, and another baby who joined the family in 2022.
Michelle also has a daughter Matilda Ledger, 17, from her relationship with the late actor Heath Ledger, who died in 2008 aged 28.
Michelle recently took the internet by storm when Britney’s amazing book hit shelves earlier this month.
Michelle’s story about it went viral, mainly due to her mocking Justin Timberlake impersonation putting on an accent in an attempt to impress black musicians.
In the book, Britney accuses Justin of trying “too hard” to fit in with black musicians during his time with *NSYNC.
She recounted one such incident in 1999, when they encountered R&B singer Ginuwine, prompting Justin to speak with a “blaccent” that Britney clearly felt was inauthentic.
A ‘Blaccent’ – a combination of the words ‘black’ and ‘accent’ – is when a non-black person imitates Black English, also known as African American Vernacular English (AAVE).

Speaking about the encounter with Ginuwine, she continued: “Walking towards us was a man with a huge, bling-out medallion. He was flanked by two giant guards.
‘J got all excited and said so loudly, “Oh yeah, fo shiz, fo shiz! Ginuwiiiiiiine! How you doing, homie?”‘
She continued, “After Ginuwine walked away, Felicia (Spears’ personal assistant) did an impression of J… J wasn’t even embarrassed. He just took it and looked at her like, “Okay, fuck you, Fe.”
Michelle’s unexpected impression of the anecdote was quickly picked up online, with some jokingly calling it ‘art’.
One Twitter user wrote: ‘Britney writing about Justin’s blaccent and Michelle Williams imitating it is HYSTERICAL. I’m in shambles.’
Another commented: ‘(white) Michelle Williams doing an impression of Britney doing an impression of Justin Timberlake doing an impression of a black person – this is art.’
Others immediately called for the star to receive awards for her work, with one person tweeting: “Give Michelle Williams whatever the Oscar is for audiobooks.”
Looking good: Also attending the event was Julianne Moore, who wore a silk black dress with a plunging neckline
Couple: The star was accompanied by her husband Bart Freundlich, who wore a black sweater and pants
Britney recorded a small portion of the book herself, but avoided telling chapters about her family because the content was “too painful to retell.” TMZ claimed.
In the explosive memoir, Spears opens up about getting an abortion at age 19 after becoming pregnant during her relationship with Timberlake.
The Womanizer singer also claims her ex cheated on her with a celebrity and ended their relationship over text in a two-word message.
Spears also admits to cheating with choreographer Wade Robson.
