Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams Split

Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have split after three years together, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

"It was rocky for awhile," says a source close to the couple. "They did what they could to make it work."

The source says the split was amicable.

The pair, who welcomed daughter Matilda in October 2005, met while they were filming Brokeback Mountain in 2004.

Costars say the chemistry was obvious from the start. "I remember being in rehearsal, and the two of them had googly eyes with each other," costar Jake Gyllenhaal said of the couple. "There were sparks immediately," added costar Anne Hathaway. "It was adorable."

The Brooklyn-based duo welcomed their daughter during promotion for the film, with Ledger calling the former Dawson's Creek star the perfect mom.

But the rigorous schedule wasn't easy. "We started promoting the movie about three weeks after (Matilda) was born, which was too soon," she said in a 2006 interview. "I'm just learning lessons now, like learning how to be a working mom."

Hmmmm, they seemed like such an ordinary couple. I thought for a while they were going to make it.

i'm surprised to hear this actually....
i thought because they were so low-key that they'd have a chance...
they seemed to both be very private people....
i'm sad to hear it....especially because of their daughter....
 
I really hope this is not true but I have a feeling it is. So sad, my favouite couple..
 
they did genuinely seem in love for the most part during their relationship, but these things happen and it's sad to see them break-up.

:(
 
Wow, I knew he could be an immature jerk, but I had no idea that Heath was the loser cheating type. Good that Michelle rid herself of him while she is still young, she could do so much better!
 
Lainey had this blind item the other day... seems to possibly fit Heath and Michelle

Dating a Douche

Perfect young couple: beautiful and cute, comparable status, first colleagues now lovers trying to stay out of the spotlight. At first, she was charmed by his charm, thought that she had found someone less brooding than her last boyfriend, someone less complicated, with fewer issues. Problem is, the honeymoon phase is over, and as is often the case when dating al narcissistic whiney b*tches, their life has become completely about him – what he wants to do, who he wants to see, and what he wants to use.

It was c*****e last year – an addiction he managed to get under control rather quickly. But plagued by professional setbacks and self doubt, he started using recreationally again a few months ago, escalating now to the point where he has become surly and grumpy, alienating many of his own friends and isolating her from hers. Although she is not doing it with him, she is giving up her other relationships to be with him. Her once close group of girls has been pushed out of her life, she hardly sees them, she hardly calls, and she makes excuses when she’s with him, ignoring pleas from her confidantes to slow things down.

Worse still, it’s beginning to affect her work. She has been loathe to accept offers without checking with him first… and his response? “But I want us to be together, baby”. Apparently his cheese is as bad as his acting.

heath isnt a bad actor

anyway these ppl shouldnt have kids
 
The pill is 99% safe and it's not the only way to control births. It's pretty ******** to say that incidents like having a child happens there are A LOT of ways to make it not happen. :angry:

My little cousin was a "pill baby" and my Aunt certainly wasn't irresponsible about taking the pill, nor was she on any antibiotic etc, she and the doctor were both surprised.There was no "reason" for it, I guess if your gonna get pregant, your gonna get pregnant. Besides, the pill isn't for everyone for a number of reasons: doesn't work with your hormones, makes you feel crap 24/7, not in a relationship, yet I'd still count people using condoms as responsible even though they have a higher risk of not working.

The only fool proof way to not get pregnant is to not have sex, period.

Heath and Michelle seem to have handled it responsibly anyway, even if it wasn't the ideal situation. Sad though it is, it's probably better for them to split up and work on how to be civil, great parents together now than in a few years time when it will affect her more because she'd know what happened. At least this way it will be the only thing she can remember (if it's true and permanent of course) loving, separate parents.

That blind item has been attributed to several couples, including Hayden Christensen/Rachel Bilson and even Rachel McAdams/Ryan Gosling, though it doesn't sound too much like the latter because RG has not had many set backs recently. Who knows.
 
Let's not get too off topic....

Sad to hear, but not surprised....

Don't they have more films together in the works?
 
anyone don't find it weird we're suddenly reading all kinds of this breakup stories when new movie (where both of them are acting) I'm not there is starting to roll in promotional sense?
 
^ I don't think they are really the publicity whores type....
to "break up" just for press for the movie. ( They can both act- they don't need that)
I would think they announced it to avoid couples questions during the promotions.
 
yeah, i forgot about that possibility, nice and more probable.
