Although Brokeback Mountain was about two men falling in love, the real-life love story took place between Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams, who played husband and wife in the film. Shortly after meeting, they fell head over heels and even started sharing a trailer on the set. After the film wrapped, Michelle learned she was pregnant, and their daughter Matilda was born in 2005. Unfortunately, after a three-year relationship, the couple decided to split.
On January 22, 2007, Heath Ledger passed away.
