Lucky
Michelle Williams got a mixed spaniel puppy, which her daughter Matilda fell in love with immediately. Michelle said Matilda wanted to name the puppy something like Crystal, Gem or Diamond. Michelle thought these types of names were better for strippers and wasn’t a fan. She was still willing to let her pick the name, but lucky for her, she picked the name “Lucky”. Williams and Lucky are seen here in a photo shoot for Vanity Fair.
Cat and Fish
In 2016, Michelle said that her daughter Matilda’s love for animals keeps growing. This led to them adding a cat and some fish to their family. To avoid filling up their apartment with too many real animals, Matilda is also a collector of stuffed animal toys.
