Watts Shares Emotional Back-to-School Moment
Off the red carpet, Watts recently opened up about a more personal milestone: sending her eldest child off to college. The âKing Kongâ actress became emotional while helping her and ex Liev Schreiberâs 18-year-old son, Sasha, move into the University of Southern California, where he is set to study in the School of Dramatic Arts.
âStep #1,â Watts wrote on Instagram Stories August 18, alongside a photo of her hugging Sasha. âAlready balling!â In the snapshot, she leaned her head on his shoulder while surrounded by luggage and their family dog.
Liev Schreiber Also Shared a Heartfelt Goodbye
Wattsâ younger daughter, Kai, 16, also shared a touching moment with her brother, holding onto him tightly in another photo. Schreiber expressed his own emotions in a separate post.
âStarting to feel the pull,â he captioned an August 17 Instagram photo of himself with Sasha. âGonna miss my ride or die.â
Between supporting Crudupâs film career and adjusting to a new chapter as a college mom, Watts is balancing family milestones and red-carpet glamour in her own heartfelt way.
