During an interview with USA Today in 2010, when asked about his romantic relationship, he blushed and said,

“She’s been with me through all different facets of my career. She’s stuck with me through thick and thick and thick and thin. We know each other in and out.”

Williams also told PEOPLE in 2009,

“She is her own person. Being intelligent and self-made is a big deal for me.”

The couple shares two children together, Sadie Williams(daughter) born in December 2013, and Maceo Williams(son), born in October 2015.
