Now that he is playing the role of doting stepdad to girlfriend Michelle Williams' daughter by the late Heath Ledger, Jason Segel has poignantly reached out to the Ledger family to let them know they are always welcome to see the little girl, Breaking Celebrity News can exclusively reveal.
The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star has made the brave move of reaching out to Heath's father, Kim Ledger, to let him know that he is there for his granddaughter, six-year-old Matilda Rose, as well as Michelle, a source exclusively tells Breaking Celebrity News.
The My Life With Marilyn actress and the Ledger family went head-to-head after the Dark Knight Rises star's tragic death in 2008, arguing over inheritance and who should get his various awards.
Fortunately they have recently buried the hatchet and Jason is hoping they can all be one big, happy family.
"Jason got on the phone and introduced himself to Kim, and then invited the Ledgers to use his home whenever they wanted to fly in from Australia to visit Michelle and Maddie," said the source close to the Ledger family.
