The outing comes one week before the anniversary of Ledger’s death. The late actor wasfound dead on Jan. 22, 2008. A toxicology report revealed afatal mix of prescription drugsin the 28-year-old’s system.

In November 2022, Williams appeared onLive with Kelly and Ryanand joked about how her teenage daughter said the actress will be"raising kids and having grandkids."

“She said she’s going to drop them off with me because I’m going to still be in the little kids business,” Williams said with a laugh.

Kelly Ripajoked, “If you have three you have to have four, because of triangulation,” to which Williams added, “That’s what I said after this last one, that I want another one. We’ll see!”

Williams mainly keeps Matilda out of the spotlight in order to give her a relatively normal life. The actress toldVanity Fairin July 2018 that her daughter “hasn’t had her routine disruptedand hasn’t missed class.”

“[I’m] less scheduled, less regulated, less hustle, less go go go,” she explained. “I parent to let Matilda feel free to be herself.”
