Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber may no longer be a Hollywood power couple, but the pair never fail to come together to support their two children, 17-year-old Sasha and 16-year-old Kai. 

The actors joined forces for Sasha's prom night, as showcased by Naomi's Instagram tribute to her son that saw the three of them smile for the camera in a sweet selfie.

"So proud of you @sashapeteschreiber," Naomi captioned the snap. The 56-year-old added several photos of Sasha looking dapper in his tuxedo as he posed for pictures alongside his friends. 

Naomi and Liev were together for 11 years before they split in 2016, and the duo have worked hard since to maintain a close co-parenting relationship. 

"It's always hard, you know? You build a life with someone and things change. And I think the way that we've looked at it is that we'll always be partners and that's what kind of keeps us together and keeps us amicable," Liev said on Sunday Today With Willie Geist in 2018.

"But I think we're more than that, I think we also genuinely really care about each other."

He continued: "It's important to support each other, you know? It's really important. I was making some jokes this morning at breakfast about mommy with the [kids], and their eyes light up when I talk about her. You can see how important it is to them that their parents care about each other and that no matter what happens, you continue to try and do that."

Naomi echoed this sentiment a year later in an interview with Net-a-Porter, explaining that they were "doing things very differently."

"I'm pretty proud of us, corny as that may sound," she added. "We've made it our absolute priority to be good and kind to each other and we're absolutely committed to that."

In the years since their split, Naomi met and married fellow actor Billy Crudup, while Liev got hitched to former pageant queen Taylor Neisen, with whom he shares his infant daughter Hazel Bee.

According to Naomi, the towering teen and his model sister have their sights set on entering the film industry. "It seems they've got the [acting] bug," Naomi told Net-a-Porter, adding that her feelings about their career choices were "definitely mixed".
