Michelle Williams has confessed that she hoped to have more children by now.
The My Week with Marilyn star revealed that she wanted to give daughter Matilda a sibling close to her own age but said that plans changed following the death of her ex-partner and Matilda's father Heath Ledger in 2008.
"I really wanted, and I really expected or imagined, that Matilda would have siblings that were close to her age. I wanted that for her. But I couldn't make that happen," Williams explained in a new interview with GQ.
"And now that she's 6 that isn't even a possibility anymore. So something that was making me feel impatient, that's been removed. For whatever reason, that's not our luck, or our path."
Williams has also said that she worries about passing Ledger's memory onto Matilda as she grows older.
"You know, as hard as certain things have been for me, it's been harder thinking about how things will be for her," she explained.
"I have a lot of things that she doesn't, and some of what I have I can give to her - the memories that I have, the objects that I have, the physical reminders that I have, the stories."
Williams has said that Ledger's death made her feel crazy.
