The former Dawson’s Creek actress – who has a two-year-old daughter, Matilda, with the Australian actor – was overheard telling a pal she wants to leave the Brooklyn mansion because it is too big for her.

A source said: “The Brooklyn brownstone is too big for just her and the baby.”

Michelle is now said to be considering buying a smaller apartment in nearby Manhattan.

Last month, it was revealed Michelle and Heath had split after battling to save their “rocky” relationship for the sake of their child.

A source said: “It was rocky for a while. They did what they could to make it work. The split was amicable.”

Heath and Michelle began dating after meeting on the set of Brokeback Mountain in 2004. Fellow Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal revealed the pair were instantly attracted to each other.

He said: “I remember being in rehearsals, and the two of them made eyes for each other. There were immediate sparks.”

Michelle gave birth to Matilda as the couple were promoting Brokeback Mountain and Heath, 28, called her the “perfect mom”.

The pair wore wedding bands during their relationship but refused to confirm if they were married.
