Michelle Williams and Phil Elverum have separated less than a year after marrying.

A person close to the couple who requested anonymity because they weren’t authorised to comment on the matter confirmed the split Friday. It was first reported by People magazine.

The 38-year-old Oscar-nominated actress and the 40-year-old musician were wed last July in upstate New York.

This was the first marriage for Williams, who has a daughter with the late Heath Ledger. Elverum was previously married to the late musician and illustrator Genevieve Castree, with whom he has a daughter.

Williams is currently starring in FX’s ‘Fosse/Verdon’. Elverum has recorded under the names the Microphones and Mount Eerie.
