She has a 16-year-old daughter, Matilda, from her relationship with the late Heath Ledger and gave birth to a baby boy called Hart in June 2020.
Michelle and her husband Thomas Kail, who is a producer/director, confirmed the pregnancy news to "Variety" magazine. The 41-year-old actress said "it's totally joyous. As the years go on, you sort of wonder what they might hold for you or not hold for you. It's exciting to discover that something you want again and again, is available one more time. That good fortune is not lost on me or my family".
