Michelle Williams is finally opening up about her relationship with Jason Segel.

In the latest issue of InStyle, which hits newsstands this Friday, the My Week With Marilyn star talks about what it's like to cozy up to her Muppet man, whom she's been seeing for the past 10 months now.

"He is nice…I didn't actually realize who he was before I started dating him. I saw The Muppets movie, and I thought, 'oh, that's cute,' but the truth is I didn't realize he made a lot of very popular, funny movies or was on a TV show," Williams told the magazine (via Just Jared).

The 32-year-old thesp, who at 5 feet 4 inches is on the petite side, also revealed how she's had to adjust to their very big height difference, considering the 6-foor-4-inch Segel towers over her by a full foot.

"But maybe more important, I didn't realize he was so tall. I thought, 'Hey man, you're cramping my style!" she said. "I tried wearing wedge heels for a while to compensate but it wasn't me and I just gave up."

Williams next hits the big screen playing Glinda the Good Witch opposite James Franco, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz in Sam Raimi's Oz the Great and Powerful, which hits theaters March 8.
