Throwing themselves into the running for the title of "Most Hipster Couple of All Time" are actress Michelle Williams and author Jonathan Safran Foer, who are, apparently, dating now. Williams — who had a child with former beau Heath Ledger, and then dated David Foster Wallace-lookalike Jason Segel — appears to be "finally at peace and genuinely happy" with Foer, according to a source that spilled the beans to Us Weekly.
Foer, who is known for his novels Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Everything is Illuminated, has two children with his ex-wife, the bestselling author Nicole Krauss, to whom he was married for 10 years. Foer once told The Guardian that the best kiss of his life was "the first date with my wife, beneath a costume shop awning, in the rain." It will remain to be seen if he and Williams can top that level of twee.
