Williams met Kelly while collaborating on the video game "Detroit: Become Human" in January 2017. Following initial dating speculation, People confirmed their relationship in July 2017. However, the two were constantly subjected to rumors of infidelity, given their relationship's proximity to Williams's divorce from Drake-Lee.
The "Secret Headquarters" actor finally seemingly set the record straight when he appeared to address the cheating speculation in JAY-Z's "Footnotes for 4:44" visuals. "I was in a relationship 13 years, 13 real years, not five years, not seven years — 13 years," he said. "All of a sudden motherf*ckers are writing think-pieces that I somehow threw a 13-year relationship. Like, the most painful experience I've had in my life like with a person I've loved with all of my heart — that I threw a person and my family in the trash because a girl I work with is cute."
Williams and Kelly kept their relationship very private for its entirety, reportedly splitting in January 2018. Neither party ever publicly addressed the reason.
