Michelle Williams Makes Rare But Touching Comment About Relationship With Heath Ledger
The notoriously private Michelle Williams doesn't comment on much about her personal life, especially when it comes to the tragic death of her former partner and father of her daughter, Heath Ledger. So, when she got started chatting about him while appearing on an episode of Dax Shephard's Armchair Expert, fans couldn't help but take notice.

The duo started talking about Ledger when Shephard mentioned that he had known the late actor, according to Hola! magazine.
"I feel obligated to say that I knew him a little bit when he was getting sober, and I don't know that I've ever fallen in love with somebody so quickly," Shephard said. "This is one of the most special boys I've ever met, and I can feel the weight of the world on him in a very special way that kind of broke my heart."
"I was very, very sad, and I thought he was just so special," Shephard said of the Brokeback Mountain star who died in 2008 of a suspected unintentional overdose of a combination of drugs, which included oxycodone, diazepam, hydrocodone, doxylamine, temazepam, alprazolam, and a suspected chest infection.
"So special, so special," Williams responding, bringing their daughter into the conversation. "Thank god there's Matilda," she said before commenting on her exe's "incredible sensitivity."
For those who may not remember, Matilda was just two when her father died, likely further compounding the feelings of grief and loss that Williams experienced upon his death.
While she may not comment much about her late ex, it's clear from the very few comments that she does make that Williams still misses her ex dearly and holds his memory in a special place in her heart. Hopefully now that Matilda is approaching 20-years-old she is able to learn more about her father and the impact he had on so many that knew him.
