Williams, 37, the fiercely private
Oscar-nominated star of "Brokeback Mountain," told the magazine
in an interview published on Thursday that she married American
indie musician Phil Elverum at a private ceremony earlier this
month in the rural Adirondacks region of upstate New York.
She described her relationship with Elverum, whose first wife
died of pancreatic cancer, as "very sacred, very special."
Williams had a daughter, Matilda, with Ledger but the couple
ended their three-year romance a few months before his 2008
death at age 28 of an accidental prescription drugs overdose.
"I never gave up on love," she said. "I always say to Matilda,
'Your dad loved me before anybody thought I was talented, or
pretty, or had nice clothes.' Obviously I've never once in my
life talked about a relationship but Phil isn't anyone else."
Williams spoke of how she and Matilda were hounded by media in
the months after Ledger's death.
"I'll never forget going to the post office and seeing a sign
hung on the wall for anyone with information about myself and my
daughter, to please call this number. Um, so I took that down,"
she told Vanity Fair.
"When you're a single parent, and that element of provider and
protection is missing, it's scary," she added.
The interview appears in the September edition of Vanity Fair,
on newsstands on Aug. 7.
