CBB reader Melanie spots Keri Russell and Michelle Williams

CBB reader Melanie was out and about in Brooklyn on Wednesday when she ran into not one, but two of Celebrity Baby Blog's favorite tots and their famous mothers! Spotting Keri Russell with almost 13-month old son River, and Michelle Williams with 2 ½-year old Matilda, Melanie sent us an email detailing her experience.


Kerirussell_241298_cbb As I was waiting to cross Atlantic Ave., I turned to my left to see Keri Russell, with little River in a stroller, next to me. She smiled at me kindly, and she really looked absolutely beautiful (wearing one of her straw hats). River was adorable! They went on ahead of me, but about 10 minutes later, I ran into them again while shopping in Urban Outfitters!

About an hour or so later, I was on my way to the subway, when I rounded the corner as Michelle Williams, Matilda Ledger, and her nanny were leaving their house.

Michelle was so pretty, and little Matilda, while truly looking the spitting image of her dad Heath, cracked me up, because she was having a mini tantrum about something, and Michelle just spoke to her calmly, and held her hand as they walked down the street. At one point, they stopped so that Matilda could get into her stroller. It just made me chuckle, because I guess 2-year-olds are 2-year-olds, celebrity babies or not!

I didn't want to intrude on these two moms, so I didn't approach them. I just thought you and others might like to know that Michelle and Keri were being regular moms in Brooklyn yesterday, and their kids are every bit as cute (cuter, even!) in person as they look in the pictures I see on Celebrity Baby Blog!

That's a nice story. I remember seeing a TMZ video right after Health's death of Keri literally being harassed by tabloid reporters and photographers asking if she had any comment. Keri truly looked upset and distressed, but every time she tried to walk away from them, they cornered her. It was so awful, especially since she worked with Heath when they were young and was probably very sad. But she kept her cool.

Thanks for sharing!

aw thanks for the story! I went to NYC and was hoping I would see someone famous. Its just neat when you see them on tv or what not and then in person. I love these two moms. They just seem so sweet to people. I am glad you didnt go up to them in a way because when they are with their children I bet it is a little bit more difficult because they may be running late or what not.

Whenever I run into a celebrity I like, I always give a little smile, make eye contact and quietly say, "I enjoy your work." They always seem to appreciate that, judging by the smiles and heartfelt "thank you"s I've gotten in return.

I wonder did you spot paparazzi around these mothers as well??

I have met a few famous people on movie sets but the only celeb I ran into while visiting nyc during the holidays was Oliver Platt. Me and my friend were standing on the corner and he turns to me and nudges my arm and goes, "Is this Oliver Platt standing next to me?" I lean over, take a look, and go "yes it is!" lol
Anyways my friend didn't want to say anything and I really didn't care one way or the other. But my friend just turned and said Hi and he said hi and how are you doing back and then said have a nice holiday. Nothing special. But everytime I'm in NYC I rarely spot celebs even though my cousin who lives there says that you probably walk passed them all the time and you just don't take notice!! Guess I better pay attention a little bit better next time I go :)

Thanks 4 sharing!
