I'm pretty proud of us, corny as that may sound,' Watts told Net-a-Porter in 2019 Liev was joined by Sasha at the Cirque Du Soleil New York City premiere of Luzia in March. When asked how it felt to be walking the red carpet with him, he told People: 'It's strange. I felt a little self-conscious walking into the circus with him because, like, it's the kind of thing you do with your kid.' 'He doesn't feel like my kid anymore. He feels like a man now, so, it's a whole different thing for us.' Liev and Naomi were together for 11 years before their split in 2016. Since then, they've maintained a very friendly relationship as they co-parent their children. Last month the pair also reunited to celebrate their son Sasha's milestone prom night in America. The former couple radiated happiness as they proudly posed alongside Sasha in pictures shared to social media, showcasing a picture-perfect family moment. The touching moment offered a rare glimpse into the family's tight-knit dynamic - and highlighted the former couple's continued commitment to raising their children amicably. 'We're doing things very differently. I'm pretty proud of us, corny as that may sound,' Watts told Net-a-Porter in 2019. 'We've made it our absolute priority to be good and kind to each other and we're absolutely committed to that.' Meanwhile their other child Kai came out as transgender in 2025 on Instagram, after making her runway debut for Valentino during Paris Fashion Week in March. 'I'm so eternally grateful that I'm so supported as a young transgender girl,' the up-and-coming model and activist wrote. 'But there are so many boys and girls like me who can't say they have the same blessing.' 'Our job is to stand up and support those young beautiful lives, and the @aliforneycenter is helping us to do so.' Kai's father Liev Schrieber also stood by her side at the Ali Forney Center's A Place at the Table gala at The Glasshouse. 'This isn't just about representing the trans community,' he said. 'These are people who are being rejected. These are people who are experiencing the harshest version of humanity that we can offer, and some of them are not surviving it.' 'We got to bear that in mind when we go out there and glam ourselves up and get ready to be seen, you know?' Schreiber continued. 'That what we're doing is actually raising money for a community that desperately needs it.' 'Kai is embracing her space in the trans community like never before. Such a fighter,' Liev said.

The Ray Donovan actor - who recently hit back at claims Kai is a nepo baby - discussed the topic for the first time during an interview with Variety. 'Kai was always who Kai is. But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns,' he told the outlet. 'To be honest, it didn't feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.' He and Naomi began dating in 2005 but later split in 2016. Naomi and American actor Billy Crudup, 56, later tied the knot in a modest wedding ceremony at a New York courthouse in June 2023.
