She is also mother to daughter Matilda, 19, who was born during her relationship with the late actor Heath Ledger.
Responding to a compliment on her figure from actress Tiffany Haddish, who is filling in for Kimmel, the Dawson's Creek star said: 'Then I've got to give a big shout out to Christine, because this last baby did not come through my body.
'But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you're watching out there, so thank you Christine.
'Thanks to Christine, I have three under five at home.'

Discussing how she is managing with three little ones, she said: 'Everything's good and under control. I'm the adult.
'I'm trying to figure out the sort of life-work balance.
'I hear a lot of people are talking about self-care, and I'm just wondering, when? Because I'm a working mom.
'I already have the guilt, and I don't want to take more time away from them, but I understand I need to fill up the tank.'

She joked she had found a solution by 'visiting our fine local establishments of government bureaucracy'.
Williams added: 'You say: 'I'm sorry, honey. But one day you're going to grow up, and you're going to get a job. And you're going to pay taxes, and you're going to need a social security number for that.'
'And then here's how it goes: I recommend a midday appointment because it's a little bit more crowded. And then you can claim your rightful place at the back of the line where they will let you wait in complete silence for at least one hour.
'There is free seating for all. Bring like a nail file and a to-do list and check, check, check.'

She continued: 'If you want a pro hack tip, don't double-check your paperwork because you might have to go back.'
The actress, who discloses very little information about her private life, is best known for films including The Greatest Showman, Brokeback Mountain, Venom and Blue Valentine.
She welcomed her first child with Kail in 2020 and a second in 2022.

Christine McGuinness' real reason for leaving Celebs Go Dating and what fans didn't see
EXCLUSIVE: Anna Williamson reflects on Christine McGuinness decision to leave Celebs Go Dating as emotional scenes are set to air during tonight's episode Tonight, Celebs Go Dating viewers will see Christine McGuinness leave the agency after an emotional chat with dating experts, Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson. Christine joined the dating agency last week, although it was clear she was struggling from episode one. We saw the mother of three struggle to decide who to take to Ibiza. However, Anna said that the most "powerful decision" Christine made was the leave the process. In last night's episode, Christine was told she'd be going on a blind date, although she told the cameras she "hated surprises," and tonight, it looks like it all gets to much for her as she makes the "brave" decision to quit. It comes after Christine McGuinness says 'it's my fault' and reveals surprising truth behind Paddy split. Now, dating expert Anna Williamson has spoken to the Mirror on the shock moment she found out Christine would be leaving. Although on screen, it looked like Christine was only at the agency for a week before deciding to call it quits - this wasn't actually the case, Anna confirmed. The dating expert said the star "really worked on herself" in the time she was in the agency, on and off screen, which lead her to the "brave" decision to call it quits. "Every moment really does count when you're in the agency, and in real time we had Christine with us for a good couple of weeks," she said. "It was really lovely to get to know her, and this is what's so special about the show, it is real. "Christine herself, nor us, could predict that she would get, a little way into the process and actually realise that this wasn't something she was quite ready to do right now." "And often we only know that only those who can make those decisions when we start to work on ourselves, and that's what Christine did." The revelation came as a shock to both Anna and Paul, who had no idea about her decision until she came for an emotional chat with them in scenes set to air tonight. "We didn't know until the scene you'll see," Anna told us. "As coaches, we picked up that she was finding the process challenging, everybody find the process challenging. Ibiza put even more of a spotlight on that." Of course, the agents were sad to see her leave - but Anna said she and Paul 'applauded' the star's 'brave' decision to walk away. "It was very brave of her to come to us to say she had made the decision that it wasn't the right time. Me and Paul absolutely applauded that. That is always the right approach, to be lead by our clients as coaches. They're in the driving seat, we're just in the passengers seat helping them stay on the right road that's right for them." During her two weeks at the agency, Christine was extremely open about her past, opening up about the reasoning behind her split with Paddy for the first time. Christine once again opened up to the agents, as she revealed that 'the trust was broken' in her marriage. Reflecting on the emotional chat, Anna believes opening up helped her along in her healing process. "When we have unresolved emotional baggage from the past, it's really important for us to establish where our clients are within that journey, and if we need to help them any further in unpacking and neutralising any pain," she said. The couple who wed in 2011, made a shock announcement in 2022, that they had decided to go their separate ways. "Healing and vocalising and working through our previous relationships absolutely helps to feel a lot more whole and in a more intentional space to working out what you want and what you're looking for, and that's definitely something Christine found too," Anna added. "It takes a while to gain the celebrity's trust, and she was very generous in allowing her to, you know, dropping her walls and trusting and telling us exactly what had led to her relationship breakdown and it was clearly a very emotional thing for her to talk about." Anna and the rest of the agents stressed that Christine left with her head held high, the door will always be open, should she ever want to return to the show.

PGA Tour ends decade-long absence from Trump-owned courses with Doral return in 2026
The PGA Tour will return to Donald Trump's Blue Monster course in Miami next spring, ending a decade-long absence from Trump-owned venues. The Miami Championship, a $20m Signature Event scheduled for the first weekend in May 2026, will mark the 56th time the Tour has played at Trump National Doral but the first since 2016, the year Trump won his first US presidential election. That year, the WGC-Cadillac Championship was pulled from the resort and relocated to Mexico City after Cadillac ended its sponsorship. At the time, then-commissioner Tim Finchem stressed that the decision was 'fundamentally a sponsorship issue' and not political, despite Trump's incendiary remarks on immigration and his insistence the Tour was punishing him for his first US presidential run. 'We value dollars for our players,' Finchem said in 2016. 'We were not able to secure sponsorship for Doral. From a golf standpoint, we have no issues with Donald Trump. From a political standpoint, we are neutral.' Trump, who had spent $250m redeveloping the Doral property, publicly lashed out at the Tour and quipped that he hoped officials had 'kidnapping insurance' for the event's new Mexican host city. For the next decade, the Blue Monster fell off the PGA calendar and instead became a regular site for the upstart LIV Golf series, serving as a centerpiece in the Saudi-backed league's schedule. Now the course returns at a moment of transition for the PGA Tour. The Miami Championship expands the roster of Signature Events to nine and sits at the heart of a crowded spring. Beginning with the Masters in April, players will face four Signature Events and two majors in a seven-week stretch, with only the Zurich Classic in New Orleans breaking the run. Next season's PGA TOUR schedule is here!2026, we're ready for you 💪 'We're excited to showcase the game's greatest players competing at golf's most iconic venues,' said Brian Rolapp, the Tour's new chief executive. 'Inspired by our players and fans, we're accelerating the Tour's evolution and ushering in a new era of innovation on and off the course.' The Miami Championship is expected to secure a title sponsor before its debut. Its addition shifts the Mexico Open into the FedExCup Fall and removes the Barracuda Championship in California, which had been played opposite the British Open. Doral has been synonymous with PGA Tour golf since 1962, when it launched as the Doral Open. It became a World Golf Championship site in 2007 but struggled to sustain sponsorship after Trump's 2012 purchase of the property. The 2016 split was, in Finchem's words, pragmatic rather than political, though it coincided with Trump's polarizing rise.
