Williams, who first appeared in the teen drama "Dawson's Creek," recently won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in the film "My Week With Marilyn." The 31 year-old actress, who has one daughter with the late actor Heath Ledger, has not dated openly since the actor's tragic death in 2008.
A source recently told US Weekly that Williams and Segel have taken their relationship up a notch.
"They are smitten and very serious," the source stated. Another eye-witness confirmed the couple's closeness.
"He put his arm around her and made her laugh as they walked," the witness told US. "[They] seemed very relaxed." Photographs were taken of the couple's March 24th stroll, revealing the two exchanging smiles.
Williams has also noted that her 6-year-old daughter, Matilda, is an important part of her life.
"I just want to go back to being a mom for a while," the actress told E! news after winning "Best Actress" in January. "Everything I do is to make Matilda's world as happy and secure as possible."
It appears that Segel could be a part of that plan. The actor was spotted spending time with William's daughter while she rode her scooter down a local block. Although the two have been friends, allowing Segel to spend time with Matilda could prove to be a big move for Williams.
"She hasn't been this happy in a long time," the source told US of Williams, suggesting that despite the fact that the two celebrities live in separate states, they are "trying to make it work."
