A stunning actress Naomi Watts was born in 1968 and her path to international success wasn’t the easiest one. Her passion for acting started at the age of 2, as she loved watching her mom taking part in various amateur performances. At first, she tried her acting skills at school and later began visiting acting classes.
In the year 1986 she got her very first role in a movie called For Love Alone. That same year she signed a contract with a modeling agency and went to work in Japan. In one of the interviews, Watts shared that the experience she gained while working as a model, helped her considerably to get one of the main roles in a film Flirting of 1991.
However, Naomi quickly understood that she wouldn’t reach worldwide fame and recognition as an actress in Australia and that’s why moved to Hollywood. There, she reached unbelievable success and featured in over 50 TV projects. The celebrity’s most well-known works include: King Kong, Divergent, The Impossible, 21 Grams and so many others.
Finally, she is a multi-award winning film performer and a goodwill ambassador.
And now, it is high time to share more information about the actress’ family members.
The father’s name is Peter and he used to work as a road manager and later as a soundman for a famous group Pink Floyd. When Naomi turned 4, Peter left the family and married a woman Patricia Deighton. However, within a couple of years, he reconnected with the young starlet’s mom again. Unfortunately, the happiness in the family didn’t last long, as it turned out that Peter was a drug addict and died of an overdose in 1976, at the age of just 30.
The mother Myfanwy is a costume and interior designer as well as a stylist. When her husband Peter died, she tied the knot again in 1978 but the marriage quickly ended with a divorce. It would be interesting to know that it was Myfanwy who inspired and persuaded Naomi to pursue acting career. The mother and a stellar daughter share a tight bond and their pictures can be often seen on social media.
The celebrity has only one sibling, a brother Ben. He is a creative person in his own right, working as a photographer for such famous magazines as Elle, Vanity Fair and others. In addition to that he also published a book about photography. Speaking about Ben’s personal life, he is happily married and is a father to a beautiful daughter. He adores spending time with Naomi, for instance, accompanying her to different public events, etc.
Coming closer to the actress’ personal life, she has never been married but had been in a long-term relationship with an actor Liev Schreiber. The two love birds met back in 2005 at the Metropolitan Museum and very soon the chemistry started building between the two. Even though the couple never tied the knot officially, Schreiber often called Naomi his wife. The couple had been together for 11 years and during these years parented two kids. Unfortunately, they broke up in 2016. Nonetheless, they remain friends and keep co-parenting their children together.
The actress’ first child, a son Alexander was delivered in 2007, in LA. Even though he is just a teenager now, he already worked as a voice actor in The Jungle Book, voicing a young wolf.
The second son Samuel became a wonderful addition to the family in the year 2008, in New York. He also took part in The Jungle Book.
That is all.
