Michelle Williams expands her family with baby No. 4
Actress Michelle Williams has welcomed her fourth child, her third with husband Thomas Kail, via surrogate, PEOPLE reports.
The couple, who have kept their personal life private, were spotted around their New York neighborhood with their newborn, who arrived six weeks ago.
A source close to the couple shared, "They couldn't be happier to expand their family, and Matilda has been doting on her younger siblings." Williams, 44, is already a mother to Matilda Ledger, 18, whom she shared with the late Heath Ledger, as well as two young children with Kail: Hart, 4, and another child born in 2022.
Williams, best known for her work in The Fabelmans and Brokeback Mountain, has been balancing motherhood with her acting career. She recently took a hiatus after The Fabelmans and is now making a return with the upcoming Hulu limited series Dying for Sex, which premieres on April 4, 2025.
In a 2023 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Williams spoke about juggling career and motherhood, saying, 'My heart obviously belongs to my children; they tug at it the most. But I really want to be able to have both.'
Williams and Kail, a Tony-winning director known for Hamilton, have been married since 2020. While the couple has yet to make an official statement, their growing family is clearly thriving.

Immerse yourself into 'The Matrix'
In a Los Angeles theatre, a trench coat-wearing Neo bends backwards to dodge bullets that spiral over the viewer's head, as the sound of gunfire erupts from everywhere. This new immersive experience is designed to be a red pill moment that will get film fans off their couches at a time when the movie industry is desperate to bring back audiences, as reported by AFP. Cosm, which has venues in Los Angeles and Dallas, is launching its dome-style screen and 3D sets in June with a "shared reality" version of The Matrix, the cult 1999 film starring Keanu Reeves as a man who suddenly learns his world is a fiction. "We believe the future will be more immersive and more experiential," said Cosm president Jeb Terry at a recent preview screening. "It's trying to create an additive, a new experience, ideally non-cannibalistic, so that the industry can continue to thrive across all formats." Cinema audiences were already dwindling when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, shuttering theaters at a time when streaming was exploding. With ever bigger and better TVs available for the home, the challenge for theater owners is to offer something that film buffs cannot get in their living room. Prestige projects like Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning or Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning Oppenheimer increasingly opt for the huge screens and superior film quality of IMAX. But Cosm and other projects like it want to go one step further, collaborating with designers who have worked with Cirque du Soleil to create an environment in which the viewer feels like they are inside the film. For filmmakers, it's all about how you place the cameras and where you capture the sound, said Jay Rinsky, founder of Little Cinema, a creative studio specialising in immersive experiences. "We create sets like the Parisian opera, let the movie be the singer, follow the tone, highlight the emotions through light, through production design, through 3D environments," he said. The approach, he said, felt particularly well suited to The Matrix, which he called "a masterpiece of cinema, but done as a rectangle." For the uninitiated: Reeves's Neo is a computer hacker who starts poking around in a life that doesn't quite seem to fit. A mysterious Laurence Fishburne offers him a blue pill that will leave him where he is, or a red pill that will show him he is a slave whose body is being farmed by AI machines while his conscious lives in a computer simulation. There follows much gunfire, lots of martial arts and some mysticism, along with a romance between Neo and Trinity, played by the leather-clad Carrie-Anne Moss. The Matrix in shared reality kicks off with a choice of cocktails – blue or red, of course – which are consumed as the audience sits surrounded by high-definition screens. Shifting perspectives place the viewer inside Neo's office cubicle, or seemingly in peril. "They're sometimes inside the character's head," said Rinsky. "The world changes as you look up and down for trucks coming at you." The result impressed those who were at the preview screening. "It just did feel like an experience," influencer Vince Rossi told AFP. "It almost feels like you're at a theme park for a movie."

'King of the Hill' voice actor Jonathan Joss dies after fatal shooting in San Antonio at 59
Jonathan Joss, the voice actor renowned for his role as John Redcorn on King of the Hill, tragically died on Sunday, June 1, after being fatally shot at his San Antonio, Texas, home. The 59-year-old actor was found near the roadway by responding officers around 7 p.m. Despite attempts to perform life-saving measures, paramedics declared Joss dead at the scene. Authorities quickly located and apprehended a suspect, 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez Cejam, who had fled the scene in a vehicle. Police confirmed that Cejam, a neighbor of Joss, has been booked for murder. Investigations into the incident are ongoing. Joss was best known for voicing John Redcorn on the animated series King of the Hill, a role he began in Season 3 after the tragic death of the original actor, Victor Aaron, in a car accident. The series aired in the late '90s and early 2000s, and Joss had been set to return for the show's revival, which is set to premiere on Hulu this August. Hours before his death, Joss posted an Instagram video discussing the upcoming King of the Hill reboot and his excitement about the project. In addition to his work on the animated series, Joss had recurring roles on Parks and Recreation as Chief Ken Hotate and appeared in several notable projects, including Tulsa King, Ray Donovan, True Grit, and The Magnificent Seven. The news was first reported by TMZ, and authorities have yet to release further details about the motive behind the shooting.

Cardi B confirms romance with Stefon Diggs on Instagram amid divorce from Offset
Cardi B has officially confirmed her relationship with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs via Instagram, sharing an intimate carousel of their Memorial Day celebration on a yacht in Miami. The couple, who have been linked since February after being seen together in New York and spending Valentine's Day side by side, appeared affectionate in a photo lounging on the yacht's deck. The post also included images of romantic gifts, such as bouquets of red roses and large teddy bears, suggesting a deepening connection between the Grammy-winning artist and the New England Patriots player. Cardi captioned the post 'Chapter 5 ……Hello Chapter six,' hinting at a new phase in her life as she navigates a public and contentious divorce from rapper Offset. Despite earlier reports last week claiming Cardi was upset with Diggs for allegedly flirting with bikini-clad women during the same yacht gathering, their latest Instagram update suggests the pair are on solid ground. This relationship milestone marks their first official confirmation following several months of speculation, including a courtside appearance together at Madison Square Garden during the NBA playoffs.
