The very private actress Michelle Williams shocked everyone when it was revealed that she and her husband, Phil Elverum, have parted ways. Perhaps it was more shocking in the way that not many know she got married in the first place. A source close to the couple broke the news to the public, saying that the two have remained friends. Williams confirmed this when she was spotted without her wedding ring during her two most recent public appearances.
To many, Williams is still grieving the death of her ex-partner, actor Heath Ledger. So it comes a surprise that she’s now separated from another partner who she had been married to for about a year. Many are surely wondering, who the man was who caught the eye of the My Week with Marilyn Monroe actress. Here are some details to help you get to know Williams’ soon-to-be ex-husband.
Elverman is foremost a musician. The reason why he is not as popular as Williams is because he has not gone mainstream. However, he is well known to the Indie world as the musical project Mount Eerie.
Perhaps one of the reasons why the musician connected with Williams is because they both had to face tragedies in the past, relating to the loss of an ex-partner. Williams lost Ledger in 2008 when the actor died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. On the other hand, Elverum’s partner, Geneviève Castrée, died of pancreatic cancer in 2016. Just like Williams, the musician also was left with a child to raise by himself.
Williams is notorious for being extremely private with her personal life, which is why she’s not on social media at all. Elverum shares the same view. The only has a Twitter account that’s used for business purposes, as it relates to his brand Mount Eerie.
Despite the many things they have in common, it was not enough to keep them together. Perhaps it was too soon for both to get committed to other partners? We guess that’s for us to find out, and for the very private ex-couple to know.
