Emotive Tribute to ‘Christine’ and a Glimpse into Life with “Three Under 5” in Tow

August 20, 2025 — In a rare and heartfelt public moment, Michelle Williams, 44, took a moment on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to thank her surrogate, Christine, for helping her and husband Thomas Kail welcome their fourth child—a baby girl—earlier this year.

A Sincere Expression of Gratitude

Williams, who traditionally keeps her personal life private, acknowledged the incredible role Christine played, saying:

“I’ve got to give a big shout-out to Christine, because this last baby did not come through my body. The miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you’re watching out there — thank you, Christine.”

A Busy Home Full of Young Children

The actress shared that her family has been bustling with activity, noting that thanks to Christine, she now has “three under 5” at home. Despite the chaos, Williams quipped with warmth, “Everything’s good and under control — I’m the adult.”

Balancing Motherhood and Self-Care

Opening up about the realities of being a working mom, she touched on the struggle with “mom guilt” and carving out space for herself:

“I already have the guilt, and I don’t want to take more time away from them, but I understand I need to fill up the tank.”

She then joked about her sneaky self-care strategy: visiting local government offices solo during mid-day queues for some peace and quiet—”you get to have an adult conversation.”

A Quiet Chapter of Joy

Williams revealed that this marks the first time she’s publicly shared her surrogacy journey, the baby’s gender, and her gratitude. The spotlight has shifted from her private family life to celebrate the beauty of expanding her brood with thoughtful acknowledgement and heartfelt love.
