Naomi Watts’ Son With Liev Schreiber, Sasha, Towers Over Mom At Rare Red Carpet Appearance

Naomi Watts made a striking appearance alongside her son, Sasha Schreiber, 17, on the red carpet of the premiere of her new film, The Friend, in New York City. The pair sported matching all-black looks, and the teenager’s growth was on full display as he stood noticeably taller than his mother. The opening of the Broadway production Appropriate marked a rare public appearance for Sasha.

The 55-year-old actress, known for her roles in films such as The Impossible and King Kong, looked elegant in a black strapless dress featuring a sheer bodice with a corset-like design and a glossy, structured skirt. She completed the look with pointed black heels and statement earrings, adding to the glamorous ensemble.

However, Sasha’s height caught the attention of fans and photographers. He wore a sleek black suit paired with a simple black shirt, opting for a laid-back yet polished look that further emphasized his towering presence.

Sasha, the eldest of Watts’ two children with ex-partner Liev Schreiber, now towers over the actress, showcasing how much he has grown. His 14-year-old sister, Kai Schreiber, did not attend the premiere, but the siblings were seen at a dinner with their father over the weekend at The Carlyle. Liev’s current wife, Taylor Neisen, was also present.

Watts was in a relationship with Liev for 11 years before their amicable split in 2016. Despite the separation, the two have maintained a close relationship, often supporting each other’s endeavors. Schreiber frequently shares moments from their family life on social media.

“I’m pretty proud of us, corny as that may sound,” Watts said about their co-parenting approach in a 2019 interview with Net-a-Porter. “We’ve made it our absolute priority to be good and kind to each other, and we’re absolutely committed to that.”

Watts and Schreiber have primarily kept their children out of the spotlight, making Sasha’s red carpet-appearance a rare public outing for the teenager. Watts quietly married her new partner, Billy Crudup, in June 2023 and followed up with a larger ceremony in Mexico City a year later. Schreiber married Neisen in July 2023, marking a new chapter in both of their lives.
