Liev Schreiber’s relationship with Naomi Watts
Naomi Watts, the British-Australian actress, first crossed paths with Liev at The Met Gala in 2005, and they began their relationship shortly thereafter. Their shared careers in the film industry likely contributed to their connection.
Before meeting Liev, Naomi had ended her relationship with the late Heath Ledger, whom she had been with for two years.
Recalling their initial encounter, Liev described Naomi as a “ray of light” during an interview with Esquire. He mentioned feeling nervous and out of place among the stars but was moved by Naomi from the start.
Their first date involved a casual cupcake outing, followed by a modest yet meaningful kiss. Liev admitted to wooing Naomi through frequent emails after she returned to Los Angeles.
Within two years, Liev and Naomi welcomed their first child, Sasha, followed by their second child, Kai, a year later.
Though they were engaged during their relationship, the couple decided to end their 11-year partnership in 2016. They issued a joint statement expressing their commitment to co-parenting their children while maintaining privacy.
Exploring their post-breakup relationship
Despite their separation, Liev and Naomi have maintained a friendly and cooperative dynamic as they continue to raise their children together.
Shortly after their breakup, Liev expressed on CBS This Morning that while the transition was challenging, their shared responsibility as parents ensured their ongoing connection. He hoped their close relationship would remain unchanged.
Naomi also shared her positive outlook in interviews, emphasizing her focus on her children’s well-being and her own contentment with life. She acknowledged the ups and downs of co-parenting but remained optimistic about their situation.
Liev Schreiber’s marriage to Taylor Neisen
Liev started dating Taylor Neisen, 32, in 2017, and while they kept their relationship mostly private, they were seen publicly together and on a family vacation in Costa Rica.
In July 2023, Liev and Taylor officially tied the knot in a private ceremony at their Hamptons home. Their first child, a daughter named Hazel Bee, arrived a month later.
Embracing their blended family, Taylor reportedly gets along well with Liev’s ex, Naomi. During Kai’s high school graduation in 2022, Naomi shared a celebratory photo featuring Liev, Taylor, and her new husband, actor Billy Crudup, expressing her congratulations to Kai.
