Michelle Williams is discussing her experience as a mother of four!

As reported by People in April, the star of Dying for Sex welcomed her fourth child through a surrogate earlier this year. This newborn marks the couple's third child together, alongside their 4-year-old son named Hart and another child born in 2022, about whom they have kept both the name and gender private. Additionally, Williams shares a 19-year-old daughter, Matilda, with the late Heath Ledger.

During her appearance on the August 18 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, which was guest-hosted by Tiffany Haddish, the 44-year-old actress expressed immense gratitude to her surrogate, Christine, and shared that she and husband Thomas Kail have welcomed a baby girl.

“This last baby did not come from my body,” remarked the Dawson’s Creek star. “The blessing of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Thank you, Christine!”

Williams acknowledged her feelings of mom guilt when she leaves her three youngest children to go to work. “Thanks to Christine, I have three kids under 5 at home,” she quipped, adding, “Everything's fine and under control. I'm the adult.”

“It’s good, it’s good. It’s just incredibly busy,” Williams explained. “I’m trying to figure out the work-life balance, and I hear many folks emphasize self-care, and I just think, ‘When?!’ Because I’m a working mom, and I already experience guilt about being away from them, but I realize that I need to take care of myself, too.”

To carve out personal time, she found an unexpected solution: the mundane task of visiting the social security office.

“You can tell them, ‘I’m sorry, sweetheart, one day you’ll grow up, get a job, pay taxes, and you’ll need a social security number for that,’” she elaborated.

Williams further suggested, “I recommend scheduling an appointment in the middle of the day, as it tends to be a bit busier, allowing you to secure your place at the back of the line where you get to wait in total silence for at least an hour. … Bring a nail file and a to-do list, and just check things off.”

“If you want a pro tip, avoid double-checking your documents, because you might have to return,” she joked. “Three children mean three appointments. If I mess up the paperwork, that’s a total of six visits.”

To get even more time away, Williams humorously advised, “Get your REAL ID. Don’t overlook that! It's a chance. Make sure you get your REAL ID. Take care of yourself.”
