It's been two months since Michelle Williams and actor Jason Segel called it quits.
So that might explain why the Oz The Great And Powerful star seemed somewhat sombre during a Sunday stroll in Brooklyn, New York with her pet pooch.
Michelle, 32, cut a solitary figure with her pixie-blonde head bent against the chilly air.
Down by the river: Single-again Michelle Williams went on a solitary stroll with her dog on Sunday
She was bundled up in a green jacket, blue jeans and black boots, with a black and red plaid scarf wrapped around her neck for added warmth.
Her dog, a cavalier spaniel mix, trotted ahead at the end of the leash but Michelle's mind seemed somewhere else than her familiar surrounds with the river and schooners just beyond.
Michelle turned out a riveting performance as Marilyn Monroe in last year's My Week With Marilyn, opposite Kenneth Branagh as Sir Laurence Olivier, and it seemed her romance with the How I Met Your Mother star was going along swimmingly as well.

daze: The actress ended a year-long relationship with actor Jason Segel
in early February, which might explain her sombre appearance
Dating for a year, Michelle was relieved that people had accepted her relationship with the 33-year-old actor.
'If people are happy about it that makes me feel good because in my head the opposite is often true -- that people fault or blame you for things,' Michelle told InStyle.
Since the death of her ex-flame Heath Ledger five years ago, Michelle has tried to give their daughter Matilda, seven, a normal upbringing.

in New York and he resides in California
Michelle and Jason often spent time with Matilda as a family.
But then the couple split in early February, the chief reason being the long-distance factor, Us Weekly reported.
Michelle and Matilda reside on the East Coast while Jason lives in Los Angeles.
In March, the former Dawson's Creek star went on the road to promote Oz The Great And Powerful, in which she plays Glinda, who is more helpless in this version.
'Glinda can’t be omniscient because then she has no struggle,' Michelle told the Los Angeles Times. 'If she already knows everything about the situation, there’s nothing for her to discover.'
