Melbourne, July 21 (ANI): Six months on from Heath Ledgers untimely death, his former fiancee Michelle Williams is finding a supporting shoulder in the late actors best friend Trevor Di Carlo.
Di Carlo, who had grown up in Perth with Ledger, has been spotted dining and taking walks around Brooklyn with Williams and Ledger’’s two-year-old Matilda in tow, the Daily Mail reported.
“I dont see them go out often. When they do go out, I see them at a small pizza restaurant, Daily Telegraph quoted one neighbour as revealing.
“People are very protective of her in the neighbourhood,” the neighbour said.
No romance has been reported between the two, and Di Carlos mother Dianne, clarified their relationship as just being friends.
“Michelle and he are the best of friends, Dianne said.
“It is a very special time for him to be with Matilda,” she revealed.
Di Carlo and Ledger had known one another since the age of three, and they had even moved to Sydney together when Ledger headed east at 16 to try his luck as an actor.
News of the friendship between Di Carlo and Williams comes amid reports that 27-year-old Williams is planning a court action to win a chunk of Ledgers 15 million dollars estate for her daughter.
Ledgers performance as The Joker in new Batman movie The Dark Knight has been tipped to earn him a posthumous Oscar nomination.
But sources at Warner Bros say they fear any legal battle over the will might affect his chances of winning. (ANI)
