New Love For Heath's Ex?

Filed under: Love Line > Heath Ledger > Michelle Williams

williamsjonzeee.jpg

After the death of Heath Ledger, all eyes were on the well-being of his former fiance, Michelle Williams, and their daughter, Matilda.

Now, seven months after his death, it appears Williams has found a bit of happines, with a new guy.

Reports are that Williams is said to be dating film director Spike Jonze.

Jonze is the ex-husband of director Sofia Coppola.

Williams and the over a decade older Jonze have been spotted together several times near her New York apartment in the past few weeks.

One report is of Jonze kissing Williams outside his Lower East Side Manhattan apartment earlier this month.

One onlooker says, "Michelle kissed Spike with a closed mouth on the corner of his lips. There was definitely a bit of caressing going on. She was clutching his arm. The body language was very romantic."

The pair first met back in 2006 when Williams was auditioning for a part in the film Where The Wild Things Are, to which she was offered a part but later withdrew from the movie.

The two ended up working together and forming a friendship last summer while she filmed Synecdoche, New York.

It seems like even Ledger's friends are ok with the situation.

Trevor DiCarlo, a friend of Ledgers, has been helping Williams care for Matilda while in New York.

A source says, "I saw Trevor, Michelle and Matilda out for an afternoon in the neighborhood. They walked around chatting, went to a pizza joint for lunch and took the subway. Heath would be happy to know all his loved ones are doing so well."

Williams and Ledger had been separated for a while before his death.

So is she moving too fast, or is the timing ok?

What do U think?

We say, moving on is a good thing.

Be happy!

    It's not like she was with Heath when he died. They had broken up before. Either way, she was obviously hurt, but she is human. I say good for her!

    I'd say it's a good thing they weren't together when he died.
    At least she had time to get over him while he was alive.
    Of course it broke her heart when he died anyway,
    but it's a good thing for her to find happiness again.

    yeah =)

    No it's not too fast. She and Heath had broken up a while before his death.

    Like you said, Heath and her seperated a while ago before his death. It's time for her to move on its not like Heath is ever going to come back to life. Let her live her life. Heath is still apart of her which is Matilda.

    I DEFINITELY think that she is doing a good job moving on. It has been long enough! She wasn't even with him when he died, so technically, she could have started dating the next day! Those people who think she is wrong for this are ridiculous…you can't expect the girl to mourn Ledger her entire life. She has a daughter to raise and that daughter deserves a happy mother and a happy family!

    They were already broken up. If Heath hadn't died she might have been looking for love sooner. Good for Michelle.

    its sad that heath is gone yes, but that is no reason for her life to stop. this is good very healthy. she took time to heal and now is ready to embark on her new life. they were sperated before his untimely death so its not like they were stil happily married and devastingly in love. 7months is a good time.
    hope all is well

    If they were a happy couple when he died I would say it's too soon, but they weren't. I think she deserves some happiness and I say you can't fault her for trying to find some. The only thing that matters to the rest of the world is that she takes care of her and Ledger's daughter, as long as little Matilda is being cared for then she should be left alone to do what makes her happy.

    You're kidding…
    BZar Getty, Matthew Broderick and John Edwards are in the news re: affairs that will break up their families. That's what's not right.
    Michelle has been free to date for years - what took her so long is the only question.

    Good news! She deserves every happiness. You could see Heath really loved her but she has no reason not to move on. They weren't together anyway as people have said. I hope Michelle, Spike and Matilda are happy together and enjoying better times. It's not like Heath is going to be forgotten, especially by his own family. R.I.P. Heath x

    Her and Heath were not even together when he passed away. The father of her child died and she was heartbroken. I'm sure she still loved Heath, don't we all still love at least a part of our former loves. I'm glad she is moving on and not letting Heath's death over shadow the rest of her life.

  26. 26

    I think it's about time she moved on. I mean she and Heath weren't even together anymore when he passed. It's the best for her and her little Matilda. Heath will always be apart of their lives and Michelle seeing someone new won't ever change that. And it appears that by keeping his friends and family near that she is making sure that never changes.

    They broke up well before his death, and he apparently moved on with his romantic life. Everyone deserves to be happy!! Good luck Michelle.

    How can it be too fast? They weren't even together when he died? She could have started dating the guy a week after Heath's death and it still wouldn't have been too fast. Just because your ex dies, doesn't mean you can't move on.

    what does "first" mean

  33. melby says – reply to this
    33

    Who cares if "Heath's friends" approve of her new "so-called" relationship???? Michelle is a single mother and has a daughter with a man who was apparently deeply disturbed. She removed herself and her daughter away from Heath before he died. She has the right to do whatever she wants with whomever she wants. She carries herself with grace and elegance. Refreshing to see someone who seems to care more about she and her daughter's well-being than about shocking everyone just to get into the rags.

    It's not really anyone elses business to offer up their opinion on whether she should move on or not. And like you said, they were seperated for months before he passed.

  38. seria says – reply to this
    38

    What kind of dumb question is that?!? She was no longer with him, and even if she started dating a month after his untimely death, it's her business, not ours! Although I'm sure she is still grieving, she has every right to move on.

  39. karen says – reply to this

    Hey #29…marriage is forever. They weren't even married! Duhh. And I've been married 'forever.' Trust me, it's no bargain. The ones who don't marry are the smart ones.

    It's definitely time to move on. Heath had problems that helped pull he and Michelle apart, and she showed incredible strength and restraint during the storm surrounding his death. I hope she's happy, and that Matilda is happy with Mommy's new boyfriend.

    Re: maddi – i sincerely hope you're kidding… did you even KNOW him or are you just one of those pathetic people who gets through the day referring to celebs by their first names only like you're actually friends? she should absolutely date and you're a fucking lunatic if you actually meant what you said.

    It's so nice to see her moving on.
    Yes, she has been on her own before Heath's death, God bless that man.
    So it figures that it's not too fast for her to move on, she's at a normal pace.
    Good for Michelle!!

    They were separated for awhile before he died. Good for her for finding a new man to love. What the hell is she supposed to do? Be lonely for the rest of her life because her estranged ex-fiance died?

    Sometimes people find comfort and companionship shortly after they go through a difficult time - sometimes someone is there for you and you . Heath and her were close, but weren't an item when he died - in fact she had dated Ryan Gosling, I think, before this guy. Michelle should do what she feels is right and if Jonze makes her happy, good for her - she clearly still loves Heath even if they weren't romantic anymore when he died. She is not doing anything wrong.

    I think it's ok to move on. Damn, that woman is sexy. and spike jones isnt so bad himself…Even if she wasnt with him when he died, they have a CHILD together and they still probably loved eachother…it's hard either way.

    she's a great actress too!

    Moving on too fast?!? It is not as if they were in a happy marriage and she was his widow, Perez. They were broken up for almost 6 months before he died, and if you believe People, they were living apart and separated way before that. I am sure that she still loved Heath and was deeply hurt by his death, but life goes on! She seem to be a genuine, lovely person and she deserves to have love in her life again! :)

    she and heath weren't together at the time of his death (rip), and had been apart for a number of months so i think it's a good thing she's finally finding some more happiness. it obviously was devastating for her when heath passed away, regardless of them no longer being romantically linked, just for the sole fact that they had shared a life together and had a child together.

    good for you, michelle. wish you all the best and lots of happiness.

    I think she should be happy…. but he is Ugly i'm sorry to say that but to have someone like Heath and then get someone like this guy Uggggg.

    71

    First of all, his death occured on the 22nd of January, not the 28th.
    I love Heath Ledger A LOT, and I'm sure Michelle does and always will and yes they have a child together, but she can't just spend the rest of her life alone and miserable. I'm happy for her and I'm sure that is what Heath would have wanted her to do. As long as Matilda always comes first to Michelle, then I see no problem with her dating.

  73. Latin says – reply to this
    73

    Given the fact that they were separated BEFORE his death, i see nothing wrong with her dating again.

    It's a tragic ending to their relationship as parents, not as a couple in love, so yes I think she deserves to move on and fall in love again.
