The Mulholland Drive star's youngest child, Kai Shreiber, has been busy making moves in the fashion world at only 16, including making star-studded runway debuts and fashion campaign appearances. And on Monday, May 26, Watts was the ultimate proud mom as she celebrated one of her lookalike 17-year-old son Sasha's biggest rites of passage into adulthood over the weekend.
Ahead of Sasha's first prom night, Watts reunited with her kids' dad and ex-partner Liev Shreiber to commemorate the milestone. In a rare family photo shared on her Instagram Story, The Impossible actress could be seen beaming as she celebrated the special occasion with her blonde-haired son next to her and his father—whom Watts split with in 2016 after 11 years together—on his other side. The 17-year-old looked dapper while suited up for the occasion in a black suit with a white dress shirt and a skinny black tie.
'So proud of you,' Watts wrote alongside her Instagram Story post. She also shared a black-and-white photo of her son wearing a white flower corsage and shiny black patent leather dress shoes as he stood in a line alongside his friends. A third photo showed a big group of men and women dressed up for prom as they posed in a lit-up auditorium.
In addition to getting into modeling, Sasha also appears to be an aspiring actor as he appeared in the 2016 Jungle Book. Watts, who's been married to husband Billy Crudup since 2023, has also brought Sasha to several major red carpet appearances. The teen made his red carpet debut in October 2025 attending the screening of The Friend during the New York Film Festival alongside his mom, and he also made an appearance at the 2025 Critics Choice Award this February (including getting a group photo with Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande).

Reba McEntire Breaks Her Silence on Stepson Brandon Blackstock's Death With Emotional Tribute
The country icon gave fans a glimpse into their close relationship behind closed Gist Reba McEntire broke her silence on her stepson Brandon Blackstock's death on August 7 following a years-long battle with cancer. On August 12, the "I'm a Survivor" singer penned an emotional tribute paired with candid photos of the pair. McEntire was previously married to Brandon's dad Narvel McEntire is breaking her silence on her stepson Brandon Blackstock's death after the talent manager passed away last week from a years-long battle with cancer. The country icon, who was previously married to Brandon's father Narvel Blackstock, headed to Instagram on Tuesday, August 12 to share an emotional tribute along with throwback photos that illustrated the pair's close relationship. 'Last week, my stepson/oldest son Brandon Blackstock went home to be with God,' the 'I'm a Survivor' singer wrote, kicking off her carousel with a selfie of them hugging each other. She continued, 'His struggle is over and he is in eternal peace in God's presence.' Sharing images of the pair fishing, hanging out with a chicken, and laughing together at a black tie event, McEntire reflected on her relationship with her late stepson. 'There is no one else like him, and I'm thankful for the time we had together. His legacy and laughter will be carried on through his family. Rest in peace cowboy. Happy trails to you til we meet again,' she concluded her message. While Reba ended her 26-year-long marriage to Brandon's dad in 2015, the divorce didn't impact her closeness with the Blackstock family or the talent manager, who previously repped stars like Blake Shelton, Rascal Flatts, and his ex-wife Kelly Clarkson. 'Brandon's been my son forever it seems,' the Queen of Country told Entertainment Tonight in a 2021 interview, adding, 'Although he's my stepson, I still love him like he's my total—my blood.' McEntire also revealed she refused to pick sides in Clarkson and Blackstock's contentious 2020 divorce and legal battle, telling the publication, 'Kelly [Clarkson] and I do talk, we text, and I love them both, and so I can't play favorites because I've been a friend of Kelly for a long time.' The Blackstock family rep first confirmed Brandon's passing on August 7, telling InStyle in a statement, "Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time."

Danielle Spencer, who played little sister Dee on ‘What's Happening!!,' dies at 60
Danielle Spencer, who played the wisecracking and tattling little sister Dee Thomas on the 1970s sitcom 'What's Happening!!' has died. Spencer died Monday at age 60 after a yearslong battle with cancer, family spokesperson Sandra Jones said. As Dee, Spencer was the smarter, more serious younger sister who offered a steady stream of deadpan roasts of big brother Roger 'Raj' Thomas and his friends Dwayne Nelson and Freddie 'Rerun' Stubbs. 'Ooh, I'm gonna tell mama,' would become Dee's catchphrase. The show, set in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Watts and among the first on television to focus on the lives of Black teenagers, was based on the movie 'Cooley High' and ran on ABC from 1976 to 1979. It had a long legacy thanks to its memorable characters, including the geeky Raj, the catchphrase-spouting Dwayne, the red-bereted dancing phenom Rerun, and Dee with her eyerolls and icy stare. Early in the production of the show's first season, Spencer, then 12, was in a major car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, that left her in a coma for three weeks and killed her stepfather, Tim Pelt. She would have spinal and neurological problems that would require multiple surgeries in the years afterward. In 2018, she had emergency surgery for a bleeding hematoma, which stemmed from that 1977 car crash. In the immediate aftermath, a family spokesperson said she could only speak slightly and had to use crutches to walk. She had been suffering symptoms from at least 2004, when she had to use a wheelchair and relearn how to walk. In 2014, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a double mastectomy. Spencer also appeared on a mid-1980s reboot of the show, 'What's Happening Now!!,' which ran for three seasons. She went on to become a veterinarian and advocate for animals. She attended the University of California, Davis, and UCLA, and got a doctorate in veterinary medicine from Tuskegee University in 1993. Spencer continued to dabble in acting, including an appearance as a veterinarian in the 1997 Jack Nicholson film 'As Good as it Gets.'

"We have lost a daughter, sister, family member, 'What's Happening' cast member, veterinarian animal rights proponent and healer, and cancer heroine," Nelson continued. "Our Shero. Danielle is loved. She will be missed in this form and forever embraced."
