Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda Ledger share a mother-daughter day in New York City. The duo enjoyed a stroll and some pampering while reflecting on their bond and Heath Ledger’s legacy.
Bollywood Fever: Michelle Williams enjoyed a stroll with her daughter, Matilda Ledger, in New York City on Wednesday.
The Oscar nominee, 43, was pictured holding hands with the 18-year-old while rocking a colorful shift dress and sunglasses. Meanwhile, Matilda sported black Adidas sneakers, white pants with a red stripe down the sides, and a vintage Cassius Clay T-shirt.
The mother-daughter duo later bonded over manicures and pedicures.
Matilda was only two years old when her father, Australian actor Heath Ledger, died in 2008 at the age of 28. An autopsy concluded that the “Dark Knight” star accidentally died “as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine.”
Ledger and Williams met while acting opposite each other in the 2005 film “Brokeback Mountain.” The couple split after three years together, just a few months before Ledger’s death.
“The Fabelmans” star shared in 2009 that Matilda stays in contact with her late father’s friends and family. “[Matilda] can know her dad in so many ways, and so many of his friends who will be able to tell her so many stories,” she told Vogue. “His friends, his family — they were a big part of his life, and they will be a big part of her life.”
In 2022, Williams revealed that “Succession” star Jeremy Strong moved in with her and Matilda after Ledger’s death. “Jeremy was serious enough to hold the weight of a child’s broken heart and sensitive enough to understand how to approach her through play and games and silliness,” she told Variety. “[Matilda] didn’t grow up with her father, but she grew up with her Jeremy and we were changed by his ability to play as though his life depended upon it, because hers did.”
Matilda is also close to Ledger’s family, who made the decision to leave the actor’s entire estate to her.
