New Love For Heath's Ex?
Filed under: Love Line > Heath Ledger > Michelle Williams
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!
FIRST
top 10 ?
First. and i think its ok. she wasnt with heath, rip, when he passed. so i think its good that shes found someone to be with. hope hes good to matilda too.
I say Good For Her. Moving on is healthy. I hope she finds happiness in everything she does! God Bless Matilda too!
They were broken up way before he sadly passed.
good 4 herr
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.
WHO IS THE TRANSGENDERED BOY?? DID ANYONE FIND OUT?
Good for her! Let's face it Heath WILL ALWAYS have a place in her heart but he's gone. Let her be happy.
ha
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
Chris Ciccone, Madonna's brother, dissed Perez big time last night on Chelsea Lately saying he was short and fat.
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.
fuck you perez, thats all i have to say
7 MONTHS???? ARE YOU CRAZY????? IT'S ONLY BEEN 2 OR 3 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!
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.
she cant sulk forever! everyday is a gift. i say leave her alone and stop judjing her perez
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
Re: DDDDD – DDDDD, are you high? He died in January. Actually, it has been 6 months, but Perez is closer than you
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.
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.
shes not doing anything wrong, her and heath wernt even together when he died
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I hate that effen whore
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
she left heath all alone 2/die
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
effen bitch..didn't anyone
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
teach her marriage
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
with kidz r 4/ever
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
She has gone through enough and has handled evrything beautifully. I thin kshe desrves to be happy.
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
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.
WELL, I JUST HOPE THAT NEW GUY CAN MAKE UP FOR HEATH LEDGER CUZ' HEATH WAS WAY BETTER LOOKING AND PROBABLY WAY BETTER LOVER…
POOR GUY, HAVE TO LIVE WITH A SHADOW..
What????? what is wrong with you people??? I'm not even over him……how could she be??? Bitch!!
She has every right to her happiness. Just hope he's the right guy??
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.
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.
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: DDDDD – Heath died in January you twat. Ever heard of Google?
No big deal. She and Heath had broke up b4 his death anyway.
Re: laure – First to post a comment.
Re: karen – LOL, I heard that!
) IMO, marriage definitely isn't all it's cut out to be. Takes a helluva lot more than love to make it work!
actually she was dating him right after heath died. they were seen together at a restaurant cuddling and whatnot. i have this from a very reliable source.
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!!
Re: DDDDD – Are you retarded??? Heath died in January!! It's been 6 months almost to the day since he died….So both you and Perez are wrong. Fucking morons!
is she moving too fast? you have to be kidding. (or stupid)
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?
WHAT SEVEN months? ITS BEEN SEVEN MONTHS????
Did you mean SEVERAL months..
wtf!?!
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.
movin too fast?! that ridiculous! they werent together! what a dumb thing to ask.
Re: steph – HE DIED ON JANUARY 28TH. ITS BEEN 6 MONTHS. LOOK IT UP!
im happy for her she deserves this losing someone can be really hard and any support is good!! be happyxx
Re: maddi – Idiot. Try getting out more and concentrating on people you actually know in real life. Rather than just fantising about friggin film stars.
this is the jackass director definitely a step below heath
Good. I love her. She was definitely a class-act when the cameras were always in her face surrounding Heath's death. Really good actress too.
Be happy.
Rest in peace, Heath.
Good for her. Hope she's happy
even though they were seperated, the mourning time for someone that close should be at least a year . but , if its true then good for her
You just stole this word-for-word from The Daily Mail website!
Good for her!
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!
Ummmmm, please back off out of the widow's piece, please.
Moving too fast? Hello, she and heath have been broken up 4EVER! They were not tofether when he died, and her dating isn't a big deal.
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!
HE'S UGLY
they were married people, look it up
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.
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.
i don't believe this story at all. it's come from the star magazine, come on guys
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.
I'm glad she's moving on! And NO ONE has the right to tell a widow when it is too soon or not to move on. Many times, grieving is easier when you have someone else to comfort you and tell you everything will be ok. Even if her and Heath were together when he died, she is the only one who knows when it is time to continue. It's not up to the rest of world to tell her.
Let her move on and find some happiness. And leave her alone.
It's a dumb question. She could have been dating before he died. They had split up. Duh.
heath has been dead for HOW LONG? its really time to move on everybody, if you didnt know him personally then why are you getting so attached to him being gone. I could understand if you were friends/co-workers/family to the guy but most of you here in internet land have never met him again MOVE ON..and for Michelle, they wernt even together when he died so what is she going to do, be single for the rest of her life because her ex boyfriend died? I think not! GET OVER IT EVERYBODY!!
Re: melis – Uh, no they weren't, YOU look it up.
Christ, how long is she supposed to wait before moving on. It's been 6 months since Heath passed on. Let the girl live her life!
Re: melis –
Get your facts straight sweetie!
Re: melis –
Get your facts straight sweetie!
It sounded like he was a crap husband when he was married to Sophia Copola. Their marriage short lived. I hope for Michelle W. that this IS NOT a case of a woman who dates the same sort of man over & over. Because he's her "type".
Good for her. She wasn't with him at the time of his death and he sure didn't waste any time slutting it up with various women.
Spike Jonze? He also dated Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, didn't he? Yup.
Heath is dead. She has no choice but to move on. Heath Ledger no longer exists. Had she started dating the day after she found out he was dead it would have been okay with me. Death is death. You don't come back from death. You can't get comfort from a dead man. Yes, whatever she does is okay.
LAURA says – reply to this 55Re: steph – HE DIED ON JANUARY 28TH. ITS BEEN 6 MONTHS. LOOK IT UP!
for both of yalll he died on jan 22..
and im glad she is happy she deserved it! She is taking care of her and her daughter.
Who cares? Michelle was as much of a druggie as Heath.
good for her
Good for her! Heath will always have a special place ofcourse but she really deserves to be happy. Moving on is just natural! Wishing them lot of happy times!
what a sad, sad situation. moving on is key. my prayers to the little girl!
HEY PEREZ! Spike Jonze does NOT like kids. This is why he and Sofia Coppola divorced. She wanted kids, he did not. This was pretty widely reported.
It's not like she was with Heath prior to his death! She can date whomever she wants whenever she wants! It's a stupid question Perez!
I love Spike, he is a good guy and I hope they are happy together
No way, this is not at all too soon for her to be moving on. I suppose it would be different if she and Heath were still together when he passed away but I hope she finds happiness in her life.
michelle is vulnerable prey and there are assholes out there who just can't wait to pounce her. spike is fucking gross he did the jackass movies with johnny knoxville and pretty much drank piss and ate shit along side the crew and directed and produced it and not to mention he is all acting like a homo gaylord with knoxvllie……….. michelle is just not single but a single mom so there are different standards for her she should focus on raising her child and protect her in these early years .
Heath's death was so tragic like all other untimely deaths. To have someone that age be taken away is a crime. I suppose we all learn from the bad choices of celebrities like Heath and Anna Nicole who just kept bad people around them. People who were enablers and didn't actually care about them or their well being. Heath's friends obviously looked the other way on his drug use and in Anna's case people like Howard K. Stern were constant providers of narcotics. Sad.
I think that she has every right in the world to move on. and I'm pretty sure Heath would want her to. and he would definantly want Matilda to have a fatherly role in her life since he's gone. Shes looking for a piece of herself thats missing, and shes trying to find it. Heath would want her to be happy, he always did.
RIP Heath
"every single day I'll be missin' you"
i say i wanna see her back out in the media! shes sooo pretty and has the BEST fashion sense!!!
They were broken up 5 months before his death and it's now been 6 months since he died. She deserves to be happy again and if this guy makes her happy than I'm happy for her. I agree she has to move on with her life and be happy! I'm not saying I totally believe this story though. It's the tabloids and Perez for God's sake! But even so. Love you Michelle!
yes
