Naomi Watts enjoyed a special night out with her daughter in New York City this week.
On Monday, March 24, the actress, 56, enjoyed a special moment with her 16-year-old daughter Kai, whom she shares with ex Liev Schreiber, at the premiere for The Friend.
Watts, a lead actress in the Scott McGehee and David Siegel-directed film, introduced the 16-year-old during her solo walk on the carpet before joining her.
“This is my daughter, Kai!” Watts said as her daughter walked the carpet. After Kai’s solo walk was completed, Watts rejoined her on the carpet and the duo posed together for pictures. While Watts smiled big for pictures with her daughter, Watts maintained her straight-faced model pose.

Earlier this month, on Sunday, March 9, Kai made her runway debut. The teen was the spitting image of her parents as she walked for Valentino during Paris Fashion Week.
During the show, Kai emerged from a red stall door and strutted down the red runway. She wore a long-sleeve animal-print minidress with a feathered neckline, as well as white lace tights, blue-tinted sunglasses and white pumps with a floral detail around the ankle.
Her blonde hair was styled into a sleek bun and covered by a nude head wrap.
The teen, who is represented by IMG models, shared some behind-the-scenes snaps of her catwalk debut on Instagram, including photos of Kai getting her hair and makeup done. “omggg my heart is so full 💗 ilysm,” she captioned the post.
The King Kong actress also shared her excitement in an Instagram post. “That’s my @maisonvalentino baby! I’m squealing with pride,” Watts wrote in the caption. “Ilysm @kaischreiberrr ❤️.”
Watts also shares son Sasha, 17, with the Ray Donovan actor, 57, welcoming him in July 2007, almost 10 years before ending their 11-year relationship in 2016. Watts and Schreiber have reunited plenty of times since their amicable split. They appeared in a TikTok video with their children in 2020 and celebrated Kai’s middle school graduation in 2022 alongside Watts’ now-husband Billy Crudup and Schreiber’s now-wife Taylor Neisen.
While Watts does her best to be a “supermom,” sometimes she struggles to balance life as an actress and a mother, she admitted to Hamptons magazine in November 2020.
“Sometimes you feel like you’re a supermom — baking [a] cake, playing board games and teaching them how to use the vacuum cleaner; you’re just fully on top of it,” she said. “And other times, you’re like, ‘Oh God, just let me hand them the devices and let me get done what I need to do,’ you know?”
She added, “That’s just the reality, and you have to forgive yourself on the days that you need to take that time for yourself and create that space.”
The Friend debuts in theaters in New York City on March 28 and across the country on April 4.
