Nov 1, 2005 - Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams became first-time parents on October 28, 2005. Ledger and Williams are now the proud parents of Matilda Ledger, born in Brooklyn, New York.

Ledger and Williams fell in love on the set of "Brokeback Mountain." Williams plays Ledger's wife in the Ang Lee film, based on the short story by Annie Proulx.

"Brokeback Mountain" stars Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as a couple of cowboys who fall in love while babysitting sheep on Brokeback Mountain. While both men eventually marry and have kids, they never forget their time spent on Brokeback Mountain or the deep emotional feelings they have for each other.

Ledger and Williams purchased a $3+ million home in New York and are taking time off from work to settle into their lives as new parents.
