In fact, Williams’ 6-year-old daughter Matilda (with her ex, the late Heath Ledger) “loves Jason,” a source adds of the two, who were spotted playing together last month in a Brooklyn park. “Jason knows how to entertain children. You can’t be that obsessed with puppets and not learn a few things!”

During the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC, the two stars were spotted packing on the PDA while supporting each other’s latest projects (Segel’s The Five-Year Engagement, Williams’ Take This Waltz.)
