Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber had announced their break up in a joint statement. They both said that over the past few months, they had come to a conclusion that the best way to move forward them as a family is for the two to separate as a couple. The said decision was with great love, respect and friendship in ur hearts that the look forward to raising their children together and exploring this new phase of their relationship.

After meeting at the Met Gala in New York in 2005, the couple had their first child, Alexander, in 2007 before welcoming Samuel a year later.  

Naomi is now busy planning as to where she and her kids will spend Christmas. She is keen to return to Australia and spend the festive season with her mum and other family members in Byron Bay, but work commitments may mean that they spend the holidays in New York.

The former Home and Away star is currently filming Gypsy, a drama series due to air on Netflix next year - a starring role which continues her success in the acting world. She said she has built a career around playing roles which aren't 'centred on vanity,' although it hasn't meant she's been immune from the strains of growing older in the public eye.

As she approaches 50 gracefully, the actress is reaping the rewards of a diverse and varied career that has given her more longevity than some of her peers.
