In a heartwarming display of modern family values, Hollywood exes Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts have proven that their commitment to parenthood far outweighs their past romantic history. The former power couple, who split in 2016 after eleven years together, seamlessly reunited this weekend to mark a significant milestone in their son's life.
A Sweet Sixteen Celebration
The occasion was nothing less than their eldest son, Sasha's, 16th birthday—a landmark event that brought both parents together in New York City. Schreiber, 56, and Watts, 55, were photographed arriving at the celebration, demonstrating a harmonious and supportive co-parenting relationship that has clearly flourished since their separation.
Watts, ever the doting mother, was seen carrying a beautifully presented birthday cake, ensuring her son's special day was marked with the requisite sweetness. The casual yet coordinated arrival highlighted a mature and amicable dynamic between the two stars.
Life After The Split: A Focus on Family
Since ending their relationship nearly a decade ago, both actors have prioritised the well-being of their two sons, Sasha and Kai, 15. They have consistently been spotted attending school events, sports games, and family outings together, painting a picture of a successful 'binuclear' family.
This united front stands in stark contrast to many messy Hollywood divorces, serving as an inspiring model of how to navigate separation with grace and mutual respect. Their ability to compartmentalise their past romantic partnership from their ongoing roles as devoted parents is a testament to their character.
Thriving Careers and New Chapters
Professionally, both Watts and Schreiber have continued to soar. Schreiber, famed for his role in Ray Donovan, remains a commanding presence on screen, while Watts has recently been celebrated for her powerful performances in projects like The Watcher and Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.
While both have moved on to other relationships since their split, this weekend's event underscores that their most important and enduring collaboration remains the raising of their two children. Their reunion for Sasha's birthday is a powerful reminder that family, in its many forms, always comes first.
