Us Weekly: The start of Michelle Williams & Thomas Kail’s relationship was ‘messy’

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

By now, we know that Michelle Williams and Thomas Kail were most likely having some kind of affair (whether emotional or physical) when they worked together on Fosse/Verdon last year. Her marriage fell apart soon after filming, and we don’t know when Kail’s marriage fell apart. But we do know that Michelle is already visably pregnant, and she confirmed their pregnancy and engagement in a glossy People Magazine rollout. People are really ignoring the shady circumstances and isn’t that just… interesting? Anyway, baby steps towards recognizing that this isn’t a perfect fairytale: Us Weekly’s source says yeah, this sh-t was MESSY.

When pregnant Michelle Williams arrived at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards with her new fiancé, Thomas Kail, she was undeniably glowing. However, the couple’s relationship started off a bit rocky.

“It’s messy behind the scenes,” a source reveals exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly. Williams, 39, and Kail, 42, met on the set of the FX miniseries Fosse/Verdon. At the time, they were attached to other people, according to the source. The actress was newly married to singer-songwriter Phil Elverum (they split in April 2019 after less than a year), and the Hamilton director had been wed to actress Angela Christian since 2006.

After their respective splits from their spouses, Williams and Kail “fell hard and fast for each other,” the source tells Us.

“After their respective splits…” Sure. And that’s when Matilda set them up, right? Lord. And Michelle wants to walk down the aisle before she gives birth too:

Wedding bells! When pregnant Michelle Williams stepped onto the Golden Globes’ red carpet in Beverly Hills on January 5 with new fiancé Thomas Kail, she was undeniably glowing. The Dawson’s Creek alum, 39, who’s mom of Matilda, 14, with the late Heath Ledger, is excited to extend her family with Kail, 42, a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.

“They’re very happy and thrilled to be bringing a baby into the world,” says the insider. “They would like to be married by the time that happens.”

I said before that I thought she was probably about five months along, but now I’m saying it’s probably about four months? I don’t know, I’m consistently a bad judge of bump sizes and I think Michelle is pretty small to start with, so who knows. My point is that they probably have plenty of time to plan a small wedding soon.

    Oh dear.

    All sorts of YUCK going on here

    • SM says:

      YUCK and some well seasoned hypocrisy. But since she is a blond delicate flower carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, no one will say that to her face. She would probably cry then

    Like ok

    • BellaBella says:

      That “source” sounds totally fabricated. Nothing was said that everyone doesn’t already know. The narrative is pretty much the same but with the addition of the word “messy” and the supposition that they want to get married before the baby is born. And, who knows about that? It’s easy enough to conjecture.

  4. T.Fanty says:

    He has a face that just screams messy b*tch. This will not end well.

    • A says:

      He looks deranged. Good luck Michelle this guy will give you tough competition in messiness.

    • Elisa says:

      +1, they both look odd in these pics, especially him.

    • TQ says:

      I met him briefly backstage at Hamilton in London last year. He seemed normal and went out with the cast for drinks after at a nearby watering hole, where he stayed for a while.

      But his face in these pictures (and the other red carpet photos from this event) are just so…extra. I guess he thinks he’s winning? Can’t tell if the look is fame hungry or just caught up in new lust/love. But the whole thing is just soooo messy. It will NOT end well!

  5. sassafras says:

    So messy. That last marriage barely was a blip and then this? But she has a way of floating on from men and them never saying anything so I guess maybe IRL it’s not so messy?

  6. anneliser says:

    Maybe he’s charming and handsome in real life, but his face and demeanor in pictures make me cringe. Michelle looks like she’s slumming it with Bozo the Clown’s stunt double or something.

  7. Mia4s says:

    Good Lord, this whole thing is so trashy! They want to get married before the baby comes? Are their divorces even final yet?! 😂

    The effort to try and retcon this as something wholesome and pure is just ridiculous! I sincerely hope the baby is healthy, but beyond that these two are very hard to like. Michelle you’re 39, grow up.

  8. minx says:

    So shocking that it’s messy, said no one.

  9. Sorella says:

    I think Michelle often gets adoration more for the Heath-love connection than anything – so people excuse her messes. I think that is why people love her so much, just being the mother of Heath’s one and only child seems to insulate her it seems,.

  10. smcollins says:

    Well, yeah…that’s pretty obvious, no matter how much they try to sugarcoat it.

  11. Ang says:

    She didn’t get married during her last pregnancy, why the rush to marry this time around especially to a already married man. Yuk !! I think she is over rated. She flies on Heaths coat tales.

  12. Omg says:

    Wow her daughter is already 14 😳 and yeah he’s a mix between bozo and Chris kattan

    🤪🤪🤪🤪

  13. CK says:

    Wow… this has been so messy/ low key that I thought Thomas was Phil. You’re telling me that this is a completely different dude than the widower?

  14. cf86713 says:

    My condolences to the children involved. They’re the only ones I feel bad for here.

  15. MaryBeary says:

    Wow. He is short
