The late actor, who died on Jan. 22, 2008, and Michelle met in 2004 while working together on the set of the groundbreaking movie, <em>Brokeback Mountain<\/em>. Sparks flew instantly with these two, as <a  href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/pics\/matilda-ledger-pics-heath-ledgers-daughter-michelle-williams\/\"  >their daughter<\/a>, Matilda, was born on Oct. 28, 2005.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">When speaking about meeting the\u00a0<em>10 Things I Hate About You\u00a0<\/em>actor to\u00a0<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.gq.com\/story\/michelle-williams-gq-february-2012-cover-story-article\"  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener\"  ><em>GQ\u00a0<\/em><\/a>in 2012, Michelle called it magical. &#8220;Our initial meeting, the circumstances of how we first met, were cosmic or something,&#8221; she said at the time. &#8220;Yeah, a lot of things happened at once,&#8221; Michelle added. &#8220;It&#8217;s a bit like: We had a lot of things to do, because we didn&#8217;t have a lot of time, or something.&#8221; Sadly, tragedy struck when Heath died in 2008 due to an accidental prescription drug overdose, per\u00a0<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/this-day-in-history\/heath-ledger-dies-of-accidental-prescription-drug-overdose#:~:text=On%20January%2022%2C%202008%2C%20Hollywood,neighborhood%20of%20New%20York%20City.\"  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener nofollow\"  ><em>History<\/em><\/a>.

But soon, they called it quits by Sept. 2007, about four months prior to Heath&#8217;s untimely death.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">Michelle also told the outlet how difficult it was having paparazzi swarming her home at the time, as she was trying to protect her daughter from it all. &#8220;It was making me crazy. I felt like I was going crazy. It was too much\u2014trying to deal with what had happened and trying to deal with what was at our doorstep. I just felt trapped. And it&#8217;s not just me\u2014there&#8217;s somebody else who I&#8217;m trying to protect, and I can&#8217;t. I can&#8217;t make it stop, I can&#8217;t make it go away,&#8221; the starlet said. &#8220;Trying to find ways to explain it or shield her from it. It&#8217;s like you&#8217;re trying to go about your life, and make dinner&#8230;but the roof is off of your house, and the walls are falling down.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelle Williams is an award-winning actress, but did you know she has been married multiple times?
