Michelle Williams opens up about baby No. 4, thanks her surrogate
Michelle Williams opened up this week about the arrival of her fourth child and gave a sweet shoutout to her surrogate. During an appearance on " Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Monday, the "Dawson's Creek" alum confirmed she and husband Thomas Kail recently welcomed their third baby together via surrogacy. In addition to her three children with Kail, Williams is also a mom to daughter Matilda, whom she shared with the late Heath Ledger. The topic of baby No. 4 came up after guest host Tiffany Haddish complimented Williams on her figure, saying she looked like she'd never had kids. "Then I've got to give a big shout out to Christine, because this last baby did not come through my body," Williams replied, appearing to reference her surrogate. "But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you're watching out there --thank you, Christine." She added, "Thanks to Christine, I have three under 5 at home." Williams went on to reflect on motherhood with humor and honesty. "Everything's good and under control. I'm the adult," she said. "It's good, it's just really busy. I'm trying to figure out the sort of life-work balance." Williams admitted that while everyone talks about self-care, it's easier said than done. "I already have the guilt, and I don't want to take more time away from them, but I understand, like, I need to fill up the tank," she said. As for how she recharges, Williams joked that she's found peace in an unlikely place: the Social Security office. "They will let you wait in complete silence for at least one hour," she said. "I have it all figured out." In an interview with " Good Morning America" that aired this week, Williams credited her family as the support system that grounds her.
