Naomi Watts and her ex-partner Liev Schreiber recently came together to support a very special moment in their son Sasha’s life — his high school prom night. The touching family moment was shared by Watts on Instagram on Monday, May 26, 2025, and it instantly warmed fans’ hearts.
The 56-year-old Feud: Capote vs. the Swans star posted a sweet photo of herself smiling with Schreiber, 57, and their 17-year-old son Sasha, who looked sharp in a classic black suit. Watts captioned the post:
“So proud of you,” and tagged Sasha in the image.
She also shared additional pictures showing Sasha and his friends all dressed up and ready to celebrate their big night.
A Strong Coparenting Bond
Watts and Schreiber were in a relationship for more than 11 years, from 2005 to 2016. During that time, they welcomed two children—Sasha and daughter Kai, now 16.
Even though they ended their romantic relationship nearly a decade ago, they’ve continued to work closely together as coparents. Their split was publicly announced with grace and respect in a joint statement to Us Weekly, saying:
“It is with great love, respect and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship.”
Since then, they’ve remained supportive of one another and consistently show up for family events and milestones, like this week’s prom night.
Both Have Moved On But Stay Connected
Both actors have since moved forward in their personal lives. Schreiber married model Taylor Neisen in 2023, while Watts tied the knot with actor Billy Crudup in the same year.
Despite these new relationships, the two stars maintain a strong family bond. Earlier this year, they attended the 30th Annual Critics Choice Awards together with Sasha. Watts walked the red carpet with her son, while Schreiber sat next to him during the event.
Schreiber even gave a shout-out to Sasha and Neisen during his Best Supporting Actor acceptance speech for Netflix’s The Perfect Couple. He joked:
“Thank you to my beautiful wife, Taylor, and my son, Sasha, for convincing me to come.”
Neisen was seen proudly filming the moment on her phone.
Love, Respect, and Family First
In a past interview with Sunday Today in 2018, Schreiber spoke about the importance of coparenting with respect:
“We’ll always be partners. I think we genuinely care about each other.”
He also mentioned how their kids benefit from seeing their parents treat each other with kindness, even after separating.
“Their eyes light up when I talk about mommy… It’s really important that their parents care about each other.”
Watts has also shown support for Schreiber’s growing family. When he and Neisen welcomed their daughter Hazel in September 2023, Watts joined in celebrating the joyful news.
Final Thoughts
Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber continue to be a great example of how healthy coparenting can thrive even after a relationship ends. Their prom night reunion for Sasha shows the strength of their family bond and commitment to being present for their children.
In a world where public breakups often get messy, it’s refreshing to see two stars putting their kids first—with love, laughter, and mutual respect.
