When did Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber part ways? Details explored as exes reunite for son's prom night

Former partners Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber seem to have reconnected recently for their son Sasha’s prom night. On May 26, 2025, the actress took to her Instagram stories and shared other photos of Sasha with his classmates and the prom squad.

She also shared a selfie with Schreiber and Sasha, captioning it:

“So proud of you @sashapeteschreiber”

She shared other photos of Sasha with his classmates and the prom squad. Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber were in a relationship for 11 years before they announced their separation in 2016. At the time of separation, the former couple shared a statement with People magazine, saying:

“Over the past few months we've come to the conclusion that the best way forward for us as a family is to separate as a couple.”

The magazine noted that their relationship was under scrutiny, mainly because of their marital status. Naomi Watts told Easy Living that getting married wasn’t a big concern for them at the time. She said they were happy and committed without needing a legal certificate.

Watts also mentioned that they might decide to get married one day, or they might not, and either option was fine with them. Nonetheless, she and Liev Schreiber remained friends following the split. In 2019, the actress told Net-a-Porter:

“We’re doing things very differently. I’m pretty proud of us, corny as that may sound. We’ve made it our absolute priority to be good and kind to each other and we’re absolutely committed to that.”

Liev Schreiber praised Naomi Watts during her pregnancy

Earlier in March 2025, People spoke to Liev Schreiber at the premiere of Luzia, where he was present with his son. He shared that it felt a bit unusual for him, especially since going to the circus was something he used to associate with having a young child.

Schreiber said it was a new experience because his son no longer felt like a kid, but more like a grown man, and that shift in their relationship was something he was still adjusting to.

Sasha was born in 2007. During her pregnancy, Naomi Watts described herself as feeling calm and enjoying the experience. At the time, Liev Schreiber praised her for how well she handled it, saying he had never seen anyone manage pregnancy with such grace and strength.

On May 12, 2025, Naomi Watts commemorated Mother’s Day with a touching post that included her kids. She captioned the carousel:

“My heart is so full. Thank you @sashapeteschreiber and @kaischreiberrr for giving me motherhood. And to Billy for the most wonderful day. Feeling so grateful.”

In January 2025, the actress published her book Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause, where she shared her health struggles with conception during her relationship with Liev Schreiber. She shared that, due to her hormone levels, IVF wasn’t an option, so she turned to fertility medications.

She closely tracked her ovulation, monitored her temperature, got regular scans, and timed intimacy precisely.
