Ten years after losing Heath, she’s finally happy again.
Michelle Williams is good at keeping secrets, which is why the gorgeous mum-of-one took the world by surprise when she announced she’d married a man no-one even knew she was dating.
The actress with the trademark platinum pixie ’do was left heartbroken 10 years ago when the love of her life, ex-partner Heath Ledger, 28, died of a drug overdose, leaving her to raise their then two-year-old daughter Matilda by herself.
She fled to a house in rural upstate New York and that’s where mother and daughter stayed for six years until 2012, when they quietly moved back to the city.
In the decade since her world blew apart, Michelle has built a stellar movie career, including scooping a Golden Globe for her role in My Week with Marilyn. But despite being linked to a handful of admirers, a second chance at love eluded her.
Boho bride
Until last year, that is, when she was introduced to indie rock musician Phil Elverum. In July, the couple exchanged vows in a secret ceremony witnessed by a handful of friends and family.
