The Oscar nominee is pregnant and expects her third baby to be born this fall, she told Variety on Tuesday. This will be her second child with husband Thomas Kyle. They welcomed their son Hart in 2020, and Williams, 41, also shared a daughter, Matilda, 16, with the late actor Heath Ledger, who died in January 2008.

“It’s completely joyful. Over the years, you wonder what they might contain for you or not. It’s exciting to find that something you want over and over again is available once again. This happiness has not been lost by me or my family, “the actress from The Greatest Showman told Variety.

She added about becoming a mother again during the pandemic: “It was a reminder that life goes on. The world he brought a baby in is not the world we thought we were going to bring a baby, but the baby doesn’t know about it. He experiences the unlimited joy of discovery and the happiness of a loving home. “

“There is nothing that makes you indulge in a better world than raising a great child. This is the best creative act, “added Williams. “The most ecstatic moments in life and art are the transcendent. Having children is such a thing. Combining your DNA with someone else to create a new life.”
