Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber Reunite for Son Sasha's College Send-Off After Years Apart

Letting a child step out into the world for the first time is a milestone that can stir both pride and heartache. For the actors, that moment arrived this summer, marking not only their son Sasha's leap into adulthood but also another chapter in their shared journey as parents.

Eighteen years after first becoming parents, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber came together once again — this time to guide their eldest son, Sasha, into the next chapter of his life. The former couple spent 11 years together before ending their relationship in 2016.

At the time, they explained that the decision had been made after a period of reflection. It was also understood that their relationship had been experiencing strain for a while before they officially parted ways. They share two children: Sasha and Kai.

Even after their separation, the actors have continued to raise their children as a team. Their focus has been on creating a stable and respectful environment, working together to provide their sons with a more balanced upbringing than what they experienced themselves.

Their dedication has often shown through on social media, where Naomi regularly highlights family milestones and everyday moments, from celebrations to simple outings together. Earlier this summer, she celebrated Sasha turning 18 with a heartfelt message:

"Happy birthday sweet, darling @sashapeteschreiber 18 today—and ready for the world! Cannot believe it.😊😭 Have so loved watching you grow into the kindest, most wonderful young man. Thank you for making me a first time mum [sic]. ♥️"

The family has also been spotted together in casual settings. Naomi recently posted Instagram Stories showing her, Liev, and Sasha dining at a restaurant, captioned "Here we go…" while tagging both father and son.

Another shot captured her and her ex-husband smiling together over a meal, with the caption "Mom and Dad," a simple nod to their ongoing teamwork.

One candid moment also shared on her story featured Liev and Sasha. The shot was taken from behind as the two walked hand in hand along a city sidewalk. She tagged the slide, "Day #2."

One of the last glimpses captured the three of them picking up supplies for Sasha’s dorm, with Naomi's bright smile reflecting both the excitement and the tenderness of getting their eldest ready for life as he heads off to college.

That farewell became official as Naomi and Liev reunited to send Sasha off as he began his college journey at the University of Southern California. Liev shared the moment on Instagram, posting a photo with his hand around his son's shoulders and writing:

"Starting to feel the pull. Gonna miss my ride or die. Having said that, USC is gonna get one of the deepest, kindest, bravest and most beautiful boys I have ever known [sic]."

The update quickly sparked a wave of responses from followers, with many noting how closely Sasha resembles his mother. "Wow. He took his mother's face… what an angel. Good luck to him. He'll love it," one commenter wrote. Another added, "He looks very kind and sensitive and gorgeous. Here's to raising a kind and sensitive young man- the world needs more of them! 👏👏👏😍😍😍"

Others chimed in with similar sentiments, praising Sasha's maturity and likeness to Naomi. "He has his Mom's whole face !!😍🙌," a fan noted, while another remarked, "wow all grown up - how time flies - good luck👍❤️," and a third gushed, "He looks just like his beautiful momma!"

Some highlighted the striking family resemblance with humor, "It's like your physical genes didn’t event [sic] try 😊," one person joked. Another observed, "Wow definitely Mum's twin but definitely had great parents raising him, well done [sic] 😊."

Comments continued to celebrate the milestone, with playful nods to Sasha's height and features. "His mum tried to clone herself with this one!" a fan wrote. Another concluded, "Tall like Dad, but sorry Liev all Mom [sic]."

As Sasha embarks on his new chapter at USC, the moment stands as both a milestone for him and a testament to the enduring bond his parents continue to share. For Naomi and Liev, reuniting for their son's send-off underscored the lasting strength of their co-parenting partnership.
