Michelle Williams looks pretty in polka dots while out in NYC… after the pregnant actress reveals she’s taking an acting break
After announcing she’s planning on taking a break from acting to stay at home with her kids, Michelle Williams stepped out with her growing baby bump to a salon in New York City.
The 39-year-old actress who is engaged to Hamilton director Thomas Kail, stepped out in a long beige puffer jacket, coordinating polka-dot dress and black tights.
This is the couple’s first child together. Michelle has a 14-year-old daughter Matilda, from her relationship with the late Heath Ledger.

The star looked particularly stylish in a pair of white sunglasses, her engagement ring on full display, and matching clogs, just days after her big win at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.
But just before taking home the prize for Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series for her role as Gwen Verdon, she opened about her plans to stay at home in preparation of her family’s new addition.
‘I haven’t taken a job since [Fosse/Verdon]. I have something else I have to go do. I’ll be home, but it’s a hard act to follow,’ she told Us Weekly while touching her baby bump.

Her demanding role as a mom isn’t her only hesitation in jumping back in front of the cameras.
She feels it’ll be hard to find a character as complex and fulfilling as her last.
‘There was singing, dancing. It was such a feast and knowing where to go from here, I feel a little bit stuck. Like, I want that job again. Like, Gwen in her 60s or something. I miss it,’ she told the outlet.

Williams has talked about her optimism of finding love after losing Ledger in 2008.
“I never gave up on love,” she told Vanity Fair in 2018 about moving on. “I always say to Matilda, ‘Your dad loved me before anybody thought I was talented, or pretty, or had nice clothes.’”
