Michelle williams dating Dustin Yellin

Michelle williams dating Dustin Yellin, The new romance between Michelle Williams and artist Dustin Yellin is heating up. Since her split from comedian Jason Segel last February, Williams and Yellin have been dating and made their relationship public by attending a Met Ball after-party together last month. They were spotted out earlier this month at a kids’ party in Brooklyn with Williams’ daughter, Matilda.

Last weekend, Williams and Yellin took a romantic vacation together at the bed and breakfast Buttermilk Falls Inn + Spa, located in rural upstate New York town of Milton. A source told OK! magazine that the new couple spent their time exploring nearby forests together and appeared madly in love. “It was clear Dustin was her boyfriend and she is seriously into him,” said the source. “They were showing so much affection. They were together all weekend without Matilda.”

Williams reportedly broke up with Segel after almost a year of dating due to distance issues; she is based out of New York City, while he lives in Los Angeles. Yellin is a Brooklyn-based artist who lives in the same neighborhood as Williams. He owns a Brooklyn gallery called The Intercourse and is currently making a documentary film entitled Little Grandfather.

The Oscar-winning actress is reportedly seeking to keep her new relationship much more quiet after her previous romances became tabloid fodder. She most famously dated Heath Ledger, her co-star in Brokeback Mountain, for three years and had their daughter Matilda together before separating in 2007. After his death in January 2008, she hid from the paparazzi and rarely gave interviews until the end of 2009. She released a single statement about his death that expressed her heartbreak and said that Ledger’s spirit would live on in their daughter.

Williams also made headlines earlier this year after sporting a new pixie cut, with one side notably shorter than the other. She told E! News that she wasn’t a fan of the awkward stage from short to long hair. “The mid-stage is insufferable. It’s really hard on your self-esteem,” she said.  

Williams’ latest film, Oz the Great and Powerful, hit theaters last March and cleared over $491 million at the box office. She is currently shooting the romantic comedy Suite Francaise, which is scheduled to hit theaters next year.
