Naomi Watts' ex Liev Schreiber praises transgender daughter Kai and ‘profound' moment with pronouns
Actors Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts are known to be doting parents to their children, Kai, 16, and Sasha, 17.
And this week, Schreiber proudly opened up about Kai coming out as transgender.
Kai has recently become a big name in the celebrity space, having strutted the runway for Valentino at Park Fashion Week in March.
'Kai was always who Kai is,' the actor told Variety on Thursday.
'But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns.
'To be honest with you, it didn't feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.'
Schreiber and wife, Taylor Neilson, will join Kai fundraising for LGBTQ+ youth at A Place at the Table gala this weekend, for the Ali Forney Centre.
The centre provides housing and support for more than 2,000 LGBTQ+ youth in crisis.
Schreiber went on to praise Kai's strength and tenacity.
'Kai is such a fighter,' he said.
'It's important that she goes, 'Hey, I am trans', and, 'Look at me'.'
Schreiber was with Naomi Watts for 11 years, before splitting in 2016.
Schreiber went on to marry Neilson in 2023. Meanwhile, Watts married actor Billy Crudup in the same year.
They share two children, Kai and Alexander, who goes by the name Sascha.
Kai has been a rising star in the fashion world.
Her Mulholland Drive actress mother also regularly praises her on Instagram.
'That's my @maisonvalentino baby! I'm squealing with pride. Ilysm @kaischreiberrr,' Watts captioned a post on Instagram in March, following Kai's catwalk debut.

Meghan shares video of Lilibet's Disneyland celebration
The Duchess of Sussex has shared another intimate video of the family celebrating Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday at Disneyland. The post on Instagram showed the family enjoying rides at the California attraction, drawing comparisons with Prince Harry's childhood trip to Florida's Walt Disney World with Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1993. The montage also features a clip of Archie, six, and Lili meeting Disney princess Elsa, from the film Frozen. Meghan wears a Minnie Mouse hat in some of the snaps featured in the video, while another image shows a two-tier Little Mermaid-themed birthday cake for Lili. The duchess captioned the video: "Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!" The footage was reminiscent of photos taken of the duke when he was eight and his mother Diana took him and William to Walt Disney World. At the time, the royal siblings were photographed sitting at the front of a log on the Splash Mountain ride, with adults from their mother's entourage behind them and Diana seated at the back. Meghan's post follows several family shots in recent days to mark Lili's birthday. In one, she posted a throwback video of herself twerking in a bid to bring on labour while pregnant with the princess, while another post featured a black and white snap of her cuddling Lili. In another post, she described how Lili's relationship with Harry was "the sweetest bond to watch unfold". She shared two photos of the princess with her father, the duke, adding: "Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!" Lili - the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's youngest child - was born on June 4 2021 and was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. Lilibet is named after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
