Overview

• Appearing on the Aug. 18 episode guest-hosted by Tiffany Haddish, Williams said her fourth child with husband Thomas Kail arrived via surrogacy earlier this year.
• She named and thanked her surrogate, Christine, telling viewers the baby is a girl and noting she now has three children under age 5 at home.
• Williams joked that “everything’s good and under control” as she adjusts to a fuller household.
• She discussed the strain of work-life balance as a working mother, sharing a lighthearted “self-care” hack of carving out quiet time during government-office errands.
• People first reported the surrogacy birth in April, and Monday’s remarks were among her first direct public comments on the surrogate and the child’s sex; the couple keeps their younger children’s names private while her eldest, Matilda, is 19.
