The split of the relatively press-shy costars in Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain has been somewhat unexpected.
Apparently, there's one person Heath Ledger
can quit.
Ledger and his fellow Brokeback Mountain Oscar nominee—and parent—Michelle Williams
According to both reports, the split took place several weeks ago and was completely amicable. Reps for the couple have so far not commented on the possible separation.
The press-shy duo has spent the past few years domesticating in Brooklyn along with their nearly two-year-old daughter, Matilda Rose, who was born in October 2005.
The two first met back in 2004, while filming Ang Lee's trophy magnet of a film and, per costars, merged their two trailers into one almost instantaneously.
