Naomi Watts was publicly observed in New York City on Tuesday, marking her first appearance since her former partner, Liev Schreiber, was hospitalized over the preceding weekend. Although the couple separated in 2016, they have maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship regarding their children, Sasha, 18, and Kai, 16. Reports indicate that this cordial relationship was reflected publicly, including Mr. Schreiber’s congratulatory statement when Ms. Watts married Billy Crudup in 2023.
Mr. Schreiber, 58, was admitted to a New York hospital on Sunday following complaints of a severe headache and remained under observation overnight at the direction of attending physicians. He underwent further medical testing on Monday and was subsequently cleared to return to work, according to statements from his representative. Mr. Schreiber has since been discharged from the hospital.
The following day, Ms. Watts, 57, was seen in a casual outfit while walking her small rescue dog, Izzy, in New York City. Observers noted a fatigued appearance. Ms. Watts opted for a comfortable ensemble, including a dark grey sweater, matching sweatpants, and camel-colored footwear.
Mr. Schreiber subsequently issued a statement confirming his improved condition. He is currently filming an untitled Apple TV+ project based on Lars Kepler’s Killer Instinct in Philadelphia. Sources reported that he experienced discomfort from the headache but expressed gratitude to medical personnel for their care.
This incident is not Mr. Schreiber’s first health-related concern involving headaches. In 2024, he disclosed a diagnosis of transient global amnesia (TGA), a rare and benign condition characterized by temporary memory loss resolving within 24 hours, triggered in his case by migraine. During a prior public discussion, he recounted the onset of TGA while performing in Doubt: A Parable on Broadway, describing a sudden inability to recall co-stars’ names and lines during a performance. Following medical evaluation, including MRI imaging, no structural brain abnormality was detected, and the condition resolved without further incident.#newsafro_
