They even brought their dog along for the trip.

All members of the family wore face-masks, and were dressed pretty casually.

Matilda, who is the daughter of Williams’ late ex Heath Ledger, bore a striking similarity to her father.

In June, US Weekly reported that Williams and Kail had welcomed their first child together.

The pair, who secretly married in March, were snapped out and about in NYC that month wearing wedding rings shortly before the city went into lockdown.

Williams first revealed her baby bump at the Golden Globes in January alongside Kail.

The pair met while working on Fosse/Verdon in late 2018.

Being as private as she is, the actress has yet to reveal the name or gender of her new child.

Williams was previously married to indie musician Elverum – who performs folk music under the moniker Mount Eerie – but the two separated less than a year after secretly exchanging vows.

Before marrying Elverum, Williams was with Oscar winner, Ledger, until his death from an accidental overdose in January 2008.

She previously opened up about how the Aussie’s death left a hole in their now 14-year-old daughter Matilda’s life.

She told Vanity Fair: “I never gave up on love. I always say to Matilda, ‘Your dad loved me before anybody thought I was talented, or pretty, or had nice clothes’.”

She also confirmed she had married Elverum in the same Vanity Fair interview.

The Oscar nominee has always kept her personal life under wraps.

She didn’t talk much about her romance with Ledger and it was publicly unknown that Williams was seeing new love Kail.

After Ledger’s death, the actress said she hated being in the spotlight.
