Liev Schreiber Sends Naomi Watts a Sweet Birthday Message Despite Their Recent Split

On Monday, news broke that Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber were going their separate ways after dating for 11 years, leaving fans heartbroken over the longtime couple's split. Despite the sad announcement, Liev and Naomi — who share two sons, Alexander (who goes by Sasha) and Samuel — seem to be on good terms. The Shut In actress celebrated her 48th birthday on Wednesday, and after posting a cute Instagram photo of her as a baby in honor of the occasion, her ex wished her well in the comments. "Happy Birthday Sweetheart," he wrote, much to the delight of Naomi's followers.
