Michelle Williams & Thomas Kail quietly got married at some point in the past month

Nominee, Michelle Williams, and Thomas Kail arrive at the 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA on Sunday, January 5, 2020.

Less than three months ago, we learned that Michelle Williams got herself a new man, and they were expecting a child. The announcement was completely out of character for Michelle – she even did a “photo shoot” exclusive with People Magazine to go along with the announcement. We soon learned why: Thomas Kail was likely the reason why Michelle’s marriage to Phil Elverum only lasted a matter of months, and Michelle was likely the reason why Thomas’s marriage fell apart last year as well. They had a torrid affair while working together on Fosse/Verdon, and Michelle got pregnant in September (?) of last year, several months after their thing started. Michelle also had a reason for announcing it when she did: she wanted to walk the awards show red carpets with Thomas, and she was visibly pregnant, etc.

Whatever happened, happened and Michelle ended up sweeping every major award for playing Gwen Verdon. She won the Emmy, the Golden Globe and the SAG Award and she made some brilliant speeches along the way. She also said that she hadn’t worked since Fosse/Verdon by choice, and there were stories that she really wanted to marry Kail before she had the baby. Well, it’s looks like it happened:

Officially husband and wife! Michelle Williams and Thomas Kail, who are expecting their first child together, secretly tied the knot, a source confirms exclusively to Us Weekly.

The pregnant Oscar nominee, 39, and the director, 43, sparked marriage speculation earlier this week when they were spotted wearing rings on their wedding fingers in photos obtained by the Daily Mail. Us confirmed in December 2019 that Williams and Kail were engaged after working together on FX’s Fosse/Verdon.

She went years without ever marrying any of those dudes she was with and then she marries two men in less than two years. It’s wild! But seriously, I was expecting Michelle and Thomas to slip away and get married, so this isn’t surprising. I doubt they did it during the pandemic either – my guess is that they probably organized a quiet little wedding about a month ago, and the tabloids are only picking up on the wedding rings now.

    He sort of gives me the willies.

    Oh man, it’s so embarrassing when you think you’re getting married to a human but you end up matting a ventriloquist dummy instead.

    I’m SORRY this guy’s mouth and face in general freaks me out. He would be great as a villain in a scary movie.

    • Esmom says:

      LMAO, I’m crying. I did notice he is a little guy.

      Not at all who I’d previously thought of as her type. She is, as Marie Kondo says, “Mess.”

    • T says:

      Hahahaha @Polyanna this comment was what I needed. I CACKLED

    Wasn’t she rumored to be engaged to another guy in 2017? Right before her relationship with Phil Elverum? I wonder if at some point in her late thirties she decided she wanted to give a sibling to Matilda/have another baby and started to convince herself that every new guy is the love of her life or something.

    • Mumbles says:

      I thought she was engaged to some much older finance dude. There were photos of them at a beach and talk of an engagement.
      I feel bad for her ex and his child. He has lost two partners in a very short period of time and that poor daughter, all that sadness and instability.

  5. Hey says:

    I love her black dress, does anyone know the designer, please? Thanks in advance and hugs to everyone of you in these hard times.

  6. KJ says:

    He looks like a character on BIG MOUTH.

  7. Bobafelty says:

    I give it two years, tops

  8. CMChat says:

    At some point in one of her acceptance speeches she said something like, deciding to carry a child, and with whom, is a fundamental right. I was struck by the “with whom.” I think she either got pregnant with Phil, or maybe he wanted them to get pregnant, but she held off or possibly terminated because of Fosse coming up. Phil was pissed, which might explain Mathilda’s eagerness to set her mom up with someone else?

    • Mia4s says:

      That feels like a stretch. I think she is just a super-messy person who is also hungry for awards. She was trying to be “deep” and “relevant”.

      I figure the baby will buy him some time, but he’ll be shown the door soon enough. I’d LOVE to see the pre-nup! She’s got cash, but he has Hamilton money. If I were his lawyer and saw this mess I’d have a stroke if he didn’t want to get the pre-nup.

    • cf86713 says:

      I can’t believe there are people who think her daughter set them up no Michelle was using her own kid to deflect the blame for her own messy behavior.

  9. Paula says:

    I think Michele is in love with love (and herself) and the moment the first happy time is over, she wants out. And she always was messy, it’s just coming out now

  10. MeghanNotMarkle says:

    Well. This is just a wee bit messy. I give em a year.

  11. kellyrae says:

    This won’t last imo

    Wow she actually gave up the widow Ledger crown? Good luck to him because she’ll move on within 2 years
