Schreiber was delighted with the performance of his common-law wife and sincerely did not understand why Naomi did not receive a single award. “Naomi was terribly depressed and heartbroken over such a failure. Liv came to Watts’ aid, who not only supported his lover, but also helped her restore her reputation and trust from directors and producers. Schreiber’s support was a tremendous success, because Naomi is now involved in the filming of four films.”- a family friend explains the situation.

In 2012, during the promotion of the film “The Impossible,” in an interview, Naomi shared her thoughts about her relationship with Liev Schreiber: “We are constantly together. We don't need any paper to prove that we are husband and wife. We ourselves feel that we are attached to each other. This is absolutely normal for us. Maybe one day we'll wake up in the morning and decide we want to get married. Or maybe not".

For his part, Schreiber says: “In my opinion, we are married, even though according to the law we are just cohabitants. I'm happy to be with Naomi. We have a wonderful couple and a strong family.”

Let us remember that Watts and Schreiber met in 2005 at a luxurious charity ball in New York. However, to win the affection of the man she liked, Naomi had to make a lot of effort. " With Liv I showed a lot more pressure than usual - the actress recalls . “Usually I preferred men to make the first move, and that’s what they did.” And then he came up and began to say goodbye. And I thought: “I wasn’t, if I’m embarrassed, then a few more years will pass alone.” I was wildly attracted to him, I was captivated by his work. I mustered up all the swagger I could muster and asked: “Well, why don’t we exchange mobile phones?” Could have been more subtle: “Would you like to write down my phone number?”
