Michelle Williams dating Spike Jonze?

Williams and Jonze, 38, have been spotted together several times near the film-maker's £1.5million New York apartment in recent weeks.

Williams was devastated in January when her former fiancé Heath Ledger died following an accidental drug overdose.

Since the actor's death, Williams has been struggling to stay strong for the sake of their two-year-old daughter Matilda..

American magazine Star reports Williams was seen kissing Jonze outside his Lower East Side Manhattan apartment on July 2nd.

An onlooker told the publication: 'Michelle kissed Spike with a closed mouth on the corner of his lips.

'There was definitely a bit of caressing going on. She was clutching his arm. The body language was very romantic.'
