Michelle Williams embraced mom duty alongside husband, Thomas Kail, and their two little ones during a relaxing family outing in New York City on Sunday.
The Oscar-nominated actress, 43 – who was recently revealed to be the narrator of the audiobook for Britney Spears’ The Woman In Me memoir – enjoyed time with her loved ones ahead of the book’s release, set for Tuesday October 24.
The star was seen showing off her casual, fall fashion in a pair of light blue jeans as well as a long-sleeved, dark navy sweater.
She slipped into a pair of comfy, black shoes for the stroll and added a pair of stylish shades to protect her eyes under the bright sunshine.
Williams shares three-year-old son, Hart, and was confirmed to have welcomed a second child with the theater director, 45, late last year in November.

Kail also dressed down for the weekend excursion, and was seen sporting a pair of dark gray, baggy sweatpants as well as a black cardigan.
He donned a pair of sneakers that were secured with laces and added a blue cap on top of his head to complete his look for the day.
Michelle and Thomas first crossed paths in 2018 while on set of the FX series titled, Fosse/Verdon. In December 2019, the two became engaged and announced they were expecting their first child together.
In March 2020, the couple tied the knot and their son, Hart, was born later that same year. In May 2022, the Golden Globe winner revealed that she was expecting baby number two with Kail during an interview with Variety. ‘It’s totally joyous.’
‘As the years go on, you sort of wonder what they might hold for you or not hold for you. It’s exciting to discover that something you want again and again, is available one more time. That good fortune is not lost on me or my family,’ she expressed.
Michelle was previously married to Phil Elverum from 2018 until their split was announced in April 2019. Their divorce was finalized later that same year.
Along with her two little ones she shares with Thomas, The Fabelmans actress also shares daughter Matilda, 17, with late actor, Heath Ledger.
Her family outing on Sunday comes shortly before Britney Spears’ tell-all memoir, The Woman In Me, hits shelves on October 24. Earlier this month, it was revealed that Williams was the mystery narrator of the audiobook version.

Spears recorded a small portion of the book and avoided narrating chapters discussing her family due to the content being ‘too painful to retell,’ TMZ reported.
In a statement to People, the Toxic singer expressed, ‘This book has been a labor of love and all the emotions that come with it.’
Britney further continued, ‘Reliving everything has been exciting, heart-wrenching, and emotional, to say the least. For those reasons, I will only be reading a small part of my audiobook.’
The star then gushed, ‘I am so grateful to the amazing Michelle Williams for reading the rest of it,’ with The Fabelmans actress also telling the outlet in support of the songstress, ‘I stand with Britney.’
Separate sources revealed to Page Six that Britney had chosen Williams to narrate a large part of the memoir due to her having a ‘tremendous amount of class and elegance,’ as well as a tumultuous family history as well.
‘There was a mutual attraction from all sides based on Britney’s powerful narrative and what Britney went through and Michelle’s own integrity and history with her own emancipation issues,’ an insider explained to the outlet.
When she was 15, Williams notably filed for emancipation from her parents to pursue her acting career.
In her memoir, Spears opens up about her 13-year conservatorship, relationship with her family, as well as fame.

In an excerpt obtained by People, the star revealed that she had gotten an abortion with Justin Timberlake.
The former couple previously dated from 1999 until their split in 2002. She later tied the knot with Kevin Federline – whom she shares sons Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden, 17, with. Their divorce was finalized in 2007.
The Mirrors hitmaker also shares two sons Silas, eight and Phineas, two, with wife and actress, Jessica Biel.
‘It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated,’ she wrote.
‘He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young. I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby.’
Britney continued, ‘I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.’
