Liev Schreiber and Noami Watts' relationship explained

British-Australian actress Naomi, 55, first met Liev at The Met Gala in 2005 and began dating shortly after. The pair likely had a lot in common both being in the film industry.

The year prior, Naomi had split from her previous partner, the late Heath Ledger, whom she dated for two years.

In a previous interview with Esquire, the Ray Donovan actor recalled the night he first met his future love, describing her as a "ray of light."

"I think I was nervous, and I felt very embarrassed being there, and self-conscious, because all these movie stars were hovering, and I felt… awkward and out of my element."

The next day, he said, they went out for cupcakes: "It was very silly – very romantic. And we had a kiss – not a big kiss, but it was a kiss that was like, ooh.

"Then she went back to L.A. and I wrote her all the time. Lots of emails. I think that was it – seduced by email."

Two years after they began dating, Liev and Noami welcomed their first child together, Sasha. A year after that, they welcomed their second child, Kai.

Naomi and Liev were engaged during their time together, however, in 2016, the couple decided to bring their 11-year relationship to an end.

At the time, the pair released a statement to PEOPLE magazine confirming the news. "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," they said.

"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.

"While we appreciate your curiosity and support, we ask the press to be mindful of our children and respect their right to privacy."

Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts' co-parenting success

Despite breaking up, the pair have clearly remained amicable and have continued to hang out as a family as their kids have grown up.

A few months after their split, Liev said on CBS This Morning: "Of course [the change is scary], but, you know, we're parents together so we'll be together for the rest of our lives no matter what and we're very close.

"Hopefully, that never changes and I don't think it will."

Meanwhile, around the same time, Naomi told The Telegraph Australia : "I feel I'm in a good place in my life and I want to make sure my kids are healthy, my kids are happy and things are going to go well. Those are the hopes for me and for all of us."

The actress also candidly told Vogue Australia how, despite her and ex getting along, there were perhaps unsurprisingly highs and lows to the situation. "I mean, I'm single, I'm co-parenting. I'm doing okay. There are good days and bad days."

Liev Schreiber's wife Taylor Neisen and their blended family

Liev met Taylor Neisen, 32, in 2017 and were spotted out and about in public together and on a family holiday in Costa Rica, but kept their relationship mostly private.

In July 2023, however, the couple made things official and became husband and wife at a private, intimate ceremony at their home in the Hamptons.

A month later, the pair welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Hazel Bee.

It seems the pair embrace their blended family with aplomb and Taylor even reportedly has a great relationship with Liev's ex, Naomi.

In 2022, the family celebrated Kai graduating from high school and Naomi shared a photo of her and her now-husband, actor Billy Crudup, her two children, Liev and Taylor, writing in the caption: "Congratulations to Kai. Class of 2022 #modernfamily."

That same year, Naomi also wrote a sweet message on Taylor's Instagram for her birthday: "Happy birthday Tay!!"
