Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber’s transgender daughter Kai is ready to step into the A-list world, having done a small voice-over role for The Jungle Book and now making her runway debut! After signing with IMG Models, Kai made her debut in the Valentino Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2025-2026 fashion show as part of the Paris Fashion Week. However, a lot of people labeled her as a “nepo baby” and said harsh things about her walk. Enter: her papa bear, Liev.
In case you missed it, Liev spoke about the hate his daughter was getting and how they had no time for it as a family.
“I don’t have many thoughts for the haters,” Schreiber told TMZ. “I’m gonna put it to you like this: What if you were a professional actor and your child decided they wanted to do something in this world. Do they have the choice of what you did?”
He added, “It doesn’t matter, like, that’s her life. She does what she wants with her life. And I’m super proud of her. I thought she did an amazing job on the show.”
And he was also the proudest dad as well since he shared a pic of her debut to his Instagram. On March 10, he shared a photo from the show with the caption reading, “Ladies and gentlemen the one, the only, the indomitable @kaischreiberr!” You can see the post HERE!
For those who don’t know, Watts and Schreiber met at the Met Gala in 2005, hitting it off almost instantly. They were together until 2016, but they share two children named, Alexander “Sasha” Pete, born on July 25, 2007, and Kai, born on Dec. 13, 2008.
In a previous, and super-rare interview with People soon after welcoming Sasha into the world, Watts talked about the joys of motherhood. “It’s such a powerful experience, and each day it gets more and more powerful,” she said.
These celebrity shared the most important life lessons they learned from their moms.
