Rumor: Naomi Watts leans on Michelle Williams for advice

by CBB contributor Raye:

Nicole Kidman may be Naomi Watts‘ best friend, but the Aussie is reportedly turning to somebody else for baby tips – Michelle Williams, fiancee of her ex Heath Ledger, who are parents to Matilda Rose, 18 1/2 months. A source tells Life & Style Naomi has been "picking Michelle’s brain" as she preps for motherhood.

Naomihas been leaning on Michelle. She’s been picking Michelle’s brain aboutthe first few months of the baby’s life and how Michelle balances workwith motherhood.

Naomi is due August 2nd. Naomi and Heath had an on-and-off relationship for two years before breaking up in April 2004.

Am I the only one who finds it odd to have the ex-GF talking to the fiancee of ex-BF?

This is complete BS made up by Life&Style. Naomi’s only contact with Michelle was when she sent them a baby gift after Matilda was born.

THIS IS A MADE UP STORY….FULL STOP.

Naomi was heartbroken after Heath got it on with Michelle on the set of BBM and suddenly dumped her…and she took over a year to recover and start dating again, with Liev being the lucky man to put back the pieces of her broken heart.

Naomi was also devastated when she found out Michelle was pregnant after only 7 months dating, I think that’s what hurt her the most as she tried to be honest with Heath and didn’t get ‘accidently’pregnant as it is rumoured Michelle did on purpose.

I will believe that Naomi is friends with Heath when I see the pictures of them together…..and that hasn’t happened yet.

In an interview Naomi said she was friends with Heath only because she doesn’t want people to think she hasn’t got over what he did….she has now and has moved on, but they are not ‘friends’. EVERYBODY IN AUSTRALIA KNOWS THIS.

This is a total lie….Naomi is NOT friends with these people…they broke her heart. She has PLENTY of friends with children and she will naturally turn to them if she needs advice, not to Michelle Williams ‘the other woman’ in her relationship with Heath Ledger.

They are not friends and never will be…plus Michelle would be too jealous to have Naomi in Heath’s life…think about it. She’s known for being super clingy and desperate to keep him. He will betray her like he did to Naomi and all his exes….wait and see, actually it is rumoured he already has done in LA a few weeks ago. Apparently a tabloid has information on this and it could possibly leak out soon, but his people are trying to stop this from happening.

This ‘false information’ is an insult to Naomi Watts who is a classy lady and has good friends to support her. She doesn’t need Heath nor Michelle in her life…..would you if you were in her situation, of having been betrayed the way she had with Heath after 2 years relationship?

it’s really strange….i agree with you, principesa.

I agree, very odd! Naomi wanted a baby with Heath, but he wasn’r ready yet, then just a few months later he and Michelle expected their daughter. I read that Naomi was quite upset about it. Well, it looks like she got over it, if the article is true, that is.

- diana on May 18th, 2007

I really doubt this is true, WHY would she do that? I’m sure there are plenty other people for her to talk to.

- Diana on May 18th, 2007

I think this is totally made up. Naomi has plenty of other friends with children to rely on. She doesn’t need Michelle OR Heath! I can’t see her calling Michelle up after what happened. I’m just glad Naomi is happy, and finally going to be a mommy! This item says her due date is Aug. 2, but I’ve been reading on CBB that she’s due at the end of June. I’m guessing June is accurate, by the looks of her cute, big baby belly!

There was an article in the NY Times where Liev said the due date is August 2nd — but we believe that it’s sometime in July.

Helen and Jenny,

Everybody in Australia? Really? You mean everybody who’s ever spent too much time waiting in line in the supermarket and have to pick up a weekly to fill time, surely. I’m going to assume both of you don’t know Ms Watts personally, as your melodramatic way of describing the oh-so-tragic tale of her broken heart sounds like a classic Woman’s Day / New Idea / NW story.

This is a quote from Naomi on the break up, as told to Allure magazine (surely a better source than “a close friend”):

“There was no third party; there was no victim. We’re on great terms – great friends, and I also have come to know Michelle a little bit.”

How weird, two mature adults choosing to remain friends after their romantic relationship didn’t work out? Who has ever heard of such a thing?

Someone told me the other day that nobody takes tabloids so seriously to really believe them, obviously she was wrong.

- stephanie on May 18th, 2007

I have heard the same what Jenny & Helen stated and I live in the US. This is exactly why it bothers me to read about Heath & Michelle but I’m glad they’re low-key so it’s not in my face everyday.

I think Naomi did 100% better with Liev than Heath. I’m so excited for the two of them!

No way would a smart woman be calling up the mother of her ex-boyfriend’s child, a child she probably wanted to have with him someday, to ask baby advice from her.

Another no way to would a smart woman allow the ex-girlfriend of her child’s father to contact her to ask for baby advice.

There is a reason someone is your “ex.” Let’s keep it real, okay Naomi?

- Dawna on May 19th, 2007

Dawna,

Although I also think this is made up, I disagree with your statement that “a smart woman” wouldn’t do such a thing. A real smart woman, a mature adult woman, would be able to rise above it and have a civil relationship with a former lover. Especially when it’s someone you respect and, like in Naomi and Heath’s case, the split was caused because they had both moved on.

What is this, high school?

- stephanie on May 19th, 2007

to helen and whoever concerned, you people read gossip, believed they’re true, and spread them. shame on you all. there was no heartbreak because it was naomi dumping heath ledger because of his rolling eyes and tireless party-going. there was neither devastation when michelle williams was pregnant. no big deal. she only wished them good luck especially to heath ledger because he’d got pinned down finally.

the last persons naomi would go seek pregnancy advice from would be michelle and nicole. if she wants it, she has tons of good people to turn to, her mom, rebecca rigg, sundance ruffalo, gwen paltrow, kate hudson……et al.

all the stories so far connecting naomi’s maturity in any possible ways to nicole and michelle williams are gossip, rumors, BS, aiming once again at slighting naomi in favor of nicole and michelle as if they were the important persons in naomi’s life.

there is no truth in any of them whatsoever. please do not degrade yourselves by believing, spreading or promoting them.

Steandric – I think you are deluded if you think that Naomi dumped Heath….He fell inlove with somebody else, he always does the same. Naomi should have known better though, I mean here was a guy in his early 20s who had met her on the set of Ned Kelly and dumped his Australian girlfriend Christina for her, just like THAT. She should have guessed that that’s how it would end up with them too. She had waste TWO years, and that is a long time when you want to settle down and have kids, like she thought she would with Heath, because he ‘went along’ with whatever she said, he made her believe he wanted that too.

Michelle, the clever or dumbass girl, depending on your own viewpoint, realized this straight away and ditched the contraception BEFORE he fell inlove with some other costar…which he will anyway, sooner or later. She used her baby as a TRAP…shame on her. To think that Naomi would call HER out of people for help….HA, HA, HA.

Stephanie, why would anyone want to keep hanging on to the past and be contacting their ex-lover? I wouldn’t like my husband being contacted by his ex-lovers just like he wouldn’t like me being contacted by my ex-lovers. The past is the past, there’s a reason you’re not together now. Appreciate that you were with each other however long or short, and let go, especially if you do not have any children together. Definitely not high school here, but a mature approach to life and moving forward.
