NaomiWatts is celebrating a milestone moment for her son Sasha Schreiber.

Sasha’s 18th birthday comes just over a month after Liev and Naomi—who split in 2016 after 11 years together—reunited to celebrate his high school graduation alongside their current spouses Taylor Neisen and Billy Crudup, respectively.

“I’m Sasha and I’m from New York City,” he shared with his commitment in April. “I’m %100 committed to the BFA in Acting at USC and so excited. I love acting, soccer, surfing, skating, cooking, and partying.”

Sasha added at the time, “I’m looking to meet new friends and find a roommate so if we have any similar interests or not reach out!”

Liev and Naomi have been jointly supportive of Kai, too, with the Perfect Couple actor recently reflected on the 16-year-old model coming out as trans.

“Kai was always who Kai is,” he told Variety in May. “But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns. To be honest with you, it didn’t feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.”

“Kai is such a fighter,” he said. “It’s important that she goes, ‘Hey, I am trans,’ and, ‘Look at me.’”
