The engagement comes months after Williams’ April 2019 split from husband Phil Elverum, to whom she was married for less than a year. Williams was also previously in a relationship with the late Heath Ledger, with whom she had daughter Matilda, 14, before his death in 2008.

She told Vanity Fair in 2018 that she “never gave up on love” following Ledger’s death at the age of 28.

“I always say to Matilda: ‘Your dad loved me before anybody thought I was talented, or pretty, or had nice clothes,'” Williams told the magazine.

Williams, who’s starred in films such as Blue Valentine and Manchester by the Sea, said in the interview that she “struggled” following Ledger’s death and has a message for others who are looking for love after loss.

“Don’t settle for something that feels like a prison, or is hard, or hurts you. If it doesn’t feel like love, it’s not love,” she explained.
