Michelle Williams, Matilda & Jason Segel “are starting to become a family unit”

Michelle Williams and Jason Segel have been photographed several times over the past week. They were spotted out with Matilda, they spent some adult-time together in Brooklyn, and Jason was even spotted spending quality time with Matilda solo, making it seem like he was stepping into a “step-father” role with ease. Somewhat hilariously (to me), when I covered those photos, several commenters got into a debate about leaving a child with a boyfriend of six months. While I believe the rumors that Jason was “the babysitter” in Brooklyn when Michelle flew to San Diego for a few days, I’m guessing that Matilda also had a nanny. I’m also guessing that Michelle and Jason are heading towards marriage and all of that, and she isn’t worried about leaving her daughter in Jason’s hands, you know? Anyway, Us Weekly had an interesting little story:

Can’t take my eyes off you! On July 14, Michelle Williams and beau Jason Segel treated her 6-year-old daughter to the Broadway musical Jersey Boys. At curtain call, Jason even hoisted Matilda in the air to applaud, an onlooker tells Us Weekly. “It was very cute!”

Though the Brooklyn-based Williams and Segel still have separate residences, a pal says they spend nearly every night together: “They’ve started to become a family unit.”

Jason lives in LA, correct? And Michelle lives in Brooklyn, although I think she might have a home in LA too. We see them most in Brooklyn – my guess is that Matila has a routine, and Michelle doesn’t want to interrupt it to fly off to LA to see Jason every weekend, so Jason comes to Brooklyn. Which is fine – I think Jason and Michelle are in a good place for a relationship that is about five months old. I think they got super-serious really fast, but they seem to be enjoying this part of their “serious” relationship now. And yes, I still think they’ll get married. Probably. Maybe. He’ll propose… but will she accept?

    That little girl is the spitting image of her father.

  2. sanna says:

    He is so sloppy looking, and it’s starting to rub off on Michelle.

    • Ally says:

      Yeah, I’m not a fan of the look or the couple. Michelle needs to spend time in Paris and have Sophia Coppola introduce her to some cute French rockers.

  3. Boo says:

    I love Matilda’s little layered dress and shoes. She may be the anti-Suri (along with the Affleck girls).

    I don’t love Michelle, but Jason seems like a decent guy.

  4. Glimmer Bunny says:

    I want her to grow out her hair! She looks so lovely in the Oz trailer and I’m tired of her hair always looking the same…

  5. Tillie says:

    I hope he’ll propose, but imo it’s a bit soon. I love them together and I think he is really a great guy!

  6. Happymom says:

    My guess is that she’ll get pregnant, and then they’ll immediately get married. And he’ll pretty much move to Brooklyn.

  7. Nashville Girl says:

    I have more of an issue with them taking her to see Jersey Boys (if that really happened) due to the language than Jason hanging out with Mathilda alone on excursions. I’m certain her nanny is providing primary child care while Michelle travels.

  8. AmyLynne says:

    I don’t know if it’s the goatee or the side slicked hair or what, but he just looks creepy. It’s probably just me being weird.

  9. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Fassy AND a Michelle Williams post? YAY!

    I love her and I love this couple. So happy for them and their cute little family-to-be.

    Didn’t Russell Brand (the player of all players) make a remark about how impressed he was by Jason’s “game” after they filmed that Sarah Marahall movie? I don’t know but he strikes me a the guy you expect to be different from the rest of the jerks who just ends up being able to hide it better. With a kid who is old enough to grow attached I’d be more apt to slooooow it down. Hope it goes well but I’m not hopeful.

    Her little girl act is getting so old.. ugh..she ain’t Mia Farrow.

    • bluhare says:

      You knew Mia Farrow when she was 6?

      Matilda is the spitting image of Heath Ledger, and I think it’s mean slagging her for her looks. She’s 6 forgodsakes.

      • gillociraptor says:

        I think F5 is referring to Michelle Williams’ “little girl act.”

      • mewmow says:

        I read it as a reference Michelle also. I think she models herself after her for sure! 🙂

  12. Happy21 says:

    I think Michelle Williams is as boring as they come but I love Jason Segel and I am so happy that he’s happy. He’d be a wonderful dad and/or step-dad!

  13. kj says:

    Who is her publicist? People do not really care about her, yet someone is leaking all these stories to US for the past couple of months.

    They also act like this is her first relationship since Heath, forgetting Spike. Like she is some widow.

  14. Lucy says:

    Family unit? I don’t think I have ever seen a picture of Michelle and Jason together much less the three of them. But I can’t think of anyone more “meh” than these two.

  15. xxodettexx says:

    my parents only knew each other a full 6 months (dated only about half that time) before they got married at 17 (mom) and 20(dad); 32 years later and they are STILL married and act like a bunch of honeymooners most days; they are each others’ best friends and spend a vast majority of their free time together…

    just sayin’, ya’ll, 6 months is not terrible in terms of relationships and the confidence one has in a partner in that “little” time…

    edited to change my dad’s marrying age to 20, he was 21 when i was born a full year later! 🙂

    If it’s meant to be it is. My husband and I had one date. A four day car trip togethher and he moved in. We married one year later, had a son the following year. We will be married 25 yrs in Sept.

    I love that little girl, she’s precious!
    And I love Jason Segal, he’s adorable–Michelle is a lucky girl
