Michelle Williams and indie musician Phil Elverum have reportedly split after less than a year of marriage.
The Greatest Showman star revealed the pair had quietly gotten married and moved in together in a cover story for Vanity Fair last year.
A source told PEOPLE that the couple split at the start of the year, and that it was “an amicable spilt and they remain friends.”
The couple are said to have wed during a low-key ceremony in the Adirondacks last summer.
There were only a few friends and their daughters present when they said ‘I do’.
Elverum has a three-year-old daughter from his first marriage, while the All the Money in the World actress had 12-year-old Matilda with Heath Ledger.
Williams explained how she “never gave up on love”, spending the decade following Ledger’s death searching for the “radical acceptance” that she had felt from him.
She recalled:
“I always say to Matilda, ‘Your dad loved me before anybody thought I was talented, or pretty, or had nice clothes.’ ”
The notoriously private actress explained that by opened up about her life after so long, she was hoping it may help other people who are going through tragedy.
Williams continued:
“I don’t really want to talk about any of it.
“But there’s that tease, that lure, that’s like, ‘What if this helps somebody? What if somebody who has always journeyed in this way, who has struggled as much as I struggled, and looked as much as I looked, finds something that helps them?’
“Don’t settle. 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.”
