Michelle Williams is sharing details about her newborn child.

The actress opened up about the birth of her fourth child during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday.

Williams and her husband, Thomas Kail, welcomed their third child, her fourth, through a surrogate earlier in 2025. During her appearance on the late-night show, guest host Tiffany Haddish complimented Williams on her figure, telling her it looks like she has never had any children.

“Then I’ve got to give a big shoutout to Christine, cause this last baby did not come through my body,” Williams said. “But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you’re watching out there; thank you, Christine.”

She continued her praise of her surrogate, saying, “Thanks to Christine, I have three under 5 at home.”

These comments appear to be the first time Williams has confirmed the sex of her youngest child.

Williams had her first child, Matilda Rose Ledger, with the late Heath Ledger in October 2005. Her first child with Kail, named Hart Kail, was born in 2020. The married couple welcomed a second child in 2022 followed by this third child earlier in 2025. The names of their two youngest children have yet to be announced publicly.

The new Weasley family is nearly complete.

HBO has announced the actors who will play four of Ron Weasley’s siblings in its upcoming Harry Potter TV series. The network made the announcement in a post shared to Instagram on Tuesday.

“The Burrow is nearly full,” HBO captioned a selfie of Ron Weasley actor Alastair Stout and his new on-screen siblings.

Tristan Harland and Gabriel Harland have been cast to play twins Fred and George Weasley. Additionally, Ruari Spooner will play Percy Weasley and Gracie Cochrane is set to portray Ginny Weasley.

The second-eldest Wesley brother, Charlie, has yet to be cast. In the Harry Potter books, Charlie leaves for Romania to work with dragons after graduating Hogwarts. HBO poked fun at this in its casting announcement post.

“Charlie’s in Romania at the moment but will be joining us soon enough,” HBO wrote.

There was no word on who will portray Bill, the eldest child in the Weasley family. Domhnall Gleeson played the character in the films.

HBO shared first-look photos of Dominic McLaughlin in costume as Harry Potter and Nick Frost in costume as Hagrid in July. The photos were shared the same week cameras officially started rolling on the series as it began production at the Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, England, the same location where all eight of the Harry Potter films were made.

McLaughlin leads the cast alongside Stout and Arabella Stanton, who will play Hermione Granger.

The upcoming HBO show is described as a faithful adaptation of the books by J.K. Rowling, who serves as an executive producer on the series. Multiple seasons of the show are planned, with each one bringing the Harry Potter characters on new adventures.

The Harry Potter series will premiere on HBO and HBO Max in 2027.

Are You My First?, a dating show about helping single virgins find “the one,” is now available to stream on Hulu.

Bachelor Nation alums Kaitlyn Bristowe and Colton Underwood host the one-of-a-kind series, which released all of its 10 episodes on Monday.

Bristowe said so many of her preconceptions about who the contestants were changed as the season started. Specifically, it was Rachael Staudt who really surprised her.

“I maybe had a preconceived notion of what she would be like, and she even said it. ‘I’m a bottle service girl, I work at a club, everyone assumes I’m this,'” Bristowe said. “She’s a beautiful human inside and out … we get to see her depth and that was really nice.”

Underwood agreed, saying he adores Staudt, before calling her brave for how she approached the show.

Staudt spoke about having vaginismus, a condition in which involuntary muscle spasms interfere with inserting things into the vagina, according to Medline Plus, during her time on the show.

Underwood said he was excited for the contestants to get to speak about the reasons for their virginity on their own terms.

“When my virgin storyline came up on Becca [Kufrin]’s season [of The Bachelorette], one, I didn’t want it to come up, and two, I was still working through when people would be like, ‘Well, why are you a virgin?’ And there really isn’t always just one answer. It’s so layered and there’s so much depth to it,” Underwood said. “I feel like these people came in with the, ‘I’m a virgin because X, Y, and Z,’ and they left with a whole new perspective of why they really are virgins. And they got to work through that in a safe environment, safe place with people who they shared that with.”

Ali Ahn, Ato Essandoh and Rory Kinnear also return for the cast of season 3.

While McKellen said Gandalf and Frodo would return in the film, he did not say if he or Elijah Wood would reprise their respective roles.

Chris Columbus doesn’t think anybody else should try to tell Kevin McCallister’s story. The Home Alone director told Entertainment Tonight a reboot of the Christmas classic film would be a mistake. “I think Home Alone really exists as, not as this timepiece, but it was this very special moment, and you can’t really recapture that,” Columbus said. “I think it’s a mistake to try to go back and recapture something we did 35 years ago. I think it should be left alone.” …
