Yesterday Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber decided to support the bad trend that has engulfed Hollywood couples and announced the end of their 11-year romance. To avoid gossip, the actors confirmed the fact of their separation in an official statement, but kept silent about the reasons for the discord in their family.

An ideal union without marriage

Naomi Watts, 47, and Liev Schreiber, 48, who started dating in 2005 despite missing a passport stamp, seemed like a loving couple who would live together for the rest of their lives. Union of two loving people sealed by the birth of two sons - Alexander and Samuel. Therefore, the news that Naomi and Liv no longer live under the same roof and are now only good friends, came as a surprise to everyone.

Plausible versions

In order not to be left guessing, representatives of the press, as usual, turned to insiders for clarification. Sources close to the couple said that Watts and Schreiber had had respect for each other for several years, but not love, and were unhappy in their personal lives.

At some point, they realized that they were portraying spouses only for the peace of mind of their children, but in fact they were making themselves and them unhappy. The boys saw their parents quarrel and not speak for weeks. Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber decided not to torture themselves or their children.

The situation was aggravated by the fact that Liv considered his wife more successful than him. He reproached her that family obligations tied him hand and foot, interfering with his acting career.
