Naomi Watts Proudly Watches Daughter Kai Walk the Runway in Paris
Naomi Watts, at 56 years old, showed her unwavering support for her daughter Kai, 16, as she strutted down the runway at the Celine Spring 2026 show during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Sitting front row at the show in Paris, France, Watts beamed with pride as she watched Kai make her mark in the fashion industry.
Taking to Instagram, Watts shared a heartfelt message alongside a series of images from the event. She captioned her post, “@celine such magic!! Congrats Michael 💕✨ @kaischreiberrr slayed the moment xx.” Kai also shared her excitement on Instagram, writing, “Celine SS26 🤍 Thank you to everyone on the team who made this possible 💞 forever grateful ♡︎.”
Just a month before their trip to Paris, Watts and Kai enjoyed a special mother-daughter outing in New York City at an Armani Beauty event. Kai made her modeling debut at Paris Fashion Week in March and has been vocal about her aspirations to become a supermodel. In an interview with Interview Magazine, Kai expressed her desire to follow in the footsteps of influential women like Marilyn Monroe.
Watts shares Kai and her son Sasha, 17, with her ex-partner Liev Schreiber. Despite their separation in 2016 after 11 years together, the exes have maintained a strong co-parenting relationship. Watts has praised their commitment to kindness and mutual respect in raising their children.
Both Watts and Schreiber have shown their unwavering support for Kai, who is a transgender woman. Schreiber shared in an interview with Variety that Kai’s journey to embrace her true identity was a natural progression for their family. Watts has since moved on with Billy Crudup, whom she married in 2023, while Schreiber tied the knot with Taylor Neisen the same year. The couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Hazel, in 2023.
The bond between Watts, Schreiber, and Kai highlights the importance of love, acceptance, and support within families. As Kai continues to make her mark in the fashion industry, she can count on her mother Naomi Watts to be her biggest cheerleader every step of the way.
