Naomi Watts proudly supports model daughter Kai, 16, as the pair host LGBTQ fundraiser in NYC - following the teen coming out as trans
Naomi Watts proudly supported daughter Kai Schreiber as the pair hosed an LGBTQ in fundraiser New York City on Thursday, following the teen coming out as trans. The actress, 56, was towered over by her by her youngest child, 16, who she shares with ex Liev Schreiber, 57, and they matched in gold metallic ensembles for the sold-out Mother Daughter Holy Spirit party. Naomi looked every inch the proud parent as she wrapped an arm around Kai's waist and flaunted their mother-daughter likeness for the cameras. Kai was every inch the supermodel as she flaunted her slender physique and shielded her eyes behind chic shades. The two also sported matching dramatic makeup with bronzed cheekbones, heavy eyeliner, as well as plum lipsticks, and both wore their blonde locks out.

Naomi finished her look with a pair of black leather trousers and a smart blazer, while Kai let her gold sequins do the talking. In snaps shared to her Instagram Stories, Naomi revealed the packed crowd at One for One – a new private venue in Midtown East created as a collaborative space for artists and culture makers. 'We are so pleased to introduce Naomi Watts as a host of Holy Spirit, a party by to fundraise for the Trans Justice Funding Project,' an announcement shared earlier this week read. 'A parent's love is important to every human on earth. 'For trans people, the love and support of a parent can be absolutely crucial. Pictured, Naomi Watts is with her daughter in ...owning MOTHER DAUGHTER.' The Trans Justice Funding Project is a community-led funding initiative that was founded in 2012 to support grassroots, trans justice groups run by and for trans people in the United States. Tickets for the event were priced at US$30 for trans people and US$65 for allies. Naomi played the mum-of-Instagram as she snapped a photo of Kai cuddled up to Hari Nef, an openly transgender model and actress at the event. The outing comes after the Mulholland Drive star shared never-before-seen photos of her daughter, Kai, and son Sasha, 17, on Mother's Day earlier this month. 'My heart is so full. Thank you Sasha and Kai for giving me motherhood,' she said. Naomi went on to also thank her current husband Billy Crudup for organising the family day: 'And to Billy for the most wonderful day. Feeling so grateful.' Kai came out as transgender in 2025 on Instagram, after making her 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, actor Leiv Schrieber, also stood by her side at the Ali Forney Center's A Place at the Table gala at The Glasshouse. The Ali Forney Center is a New York City non-profit which provides shelter and healthcare services to LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness. '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,' Liev said. 'Kai is such a fighter,' he added. 'It's important that she goes, "Hey, I am trans," and, "Look at me."'

Rosie O'Donnell sells NYC penthouse for nearly half its price after fleeing US over Donald Trump's election
Rosie O'Donnell sold her New York City penthouse at a multimillion-dollar loss after leaving the US when President Trump won the 2024 election. The comedian's Midtown East home, located at 255 E. 49th St., was sold for $US4.75 million ($A7.3 million) last month, the New York Post exclusively revealed on Monday. O'Donnell purchased the triplex unit for $8 million ($A12.3 million) in 2017. The 3,381-square-foot suite features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a glass-enclosed room with a view of the East River, a sauna and a rooftop deck. O'Donnell, 63, originally listed the penthouse for $US8.3 million ($A12.8 million) in early 2023. She later dropped the price. The A League of Their Own star gave up her ritzy home before Trump's inauguration in January. 'I'm here in Ireland. And it's beautiful and warm — not physically. It's actually quite cold,' she said in a TikTok video at the time. 'It's been pretty wonderful, I have to say,' the Sleepless in Seattle star continued. 'The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. And I'm very grateful.' O'Donnell, whose grandparents are from Ireland, shared that she started the process of getting her Irish citizenship. The actress said she was motivated to move to keep her non-binary child, Clay, safe. 'I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are,' she explained. 'You know, I'm happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home and I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back.' O'Donnell later shared that her mental health drastically improved since moving overseas. 'I feel healthier [and] I'm sleeping better without the stress and anxiety over what was happening politically in the country,' she said in another video. The TV personality is also the parent to kids: Parker, 29, Chelsea, 27, Blake, 25, Vivienne, 22.
