Recently, Naomi Watts’ teenage daughter Kai Schreiber caught everyone’s attention with a totally fresh new look.
The 16-year-old shared some photos on social media showing off a pale pink, sun-kissed hairstyle that made fans do a double take — it was like seeing a whole new person.
Kai, who usually rocks sleek blonde hair and a serious vibe, decided to switch things up with a much more relaxed, pastel-colored style.
Along with the photos, she playfully revealed it wasn’t permanent, writing, “It’s a wig, guys.” Clearly, she was having some fun experimenting with her style.
A Loving Mother’s Day Tribute From Naomi Watts
This recent hair makeover comes shortly after Naomi shared a touching Mother’s Day post that fans loved.
The Australian-British actress posted never-before-seen photos of her children, Sasha, 17, and Kai, showing sweet throwbacks from when they were little.
In the Instagram post, Naomi is beaming with pride and love, cuddling up to her kids.
She described feeling “so full” of love for them, thanking them for the gift of motherhood.
Naomi also gave a shoutout to her husband, Billy Crudup, who she said made Mother’s Day especially memorable, adding, “Feeling so grateful.”
One of the sweetest moments in the post featured young Sasha and Kai smiling big as Naomi sat in the background watching them.
Kai Opens Up About Being a Transgender Teen
Beyond the hair and family moments, Kai recently shared something deeply personal with her followers.
She publicly came out as transgender in a heartfelt social media post, expressing her gratitude for the support she receives.
Kai acknowledged that not everyone in her position is as lucky, calling on people to stand up for LGBTQIA+ youth.
She highlighted the work of the Ali Forney Center, a New York nonprofit dedicated to helping homeless LGBTQIA+ young people by providing shelter and healthcare.
Naomi was quick to show her support, commenting lovingly beneath Kai’s post, “Such important words. Beautiful girl, I’m so proud of you.”
Liev Schreiber Reflects on Kai’s Coming Out and Family Life
Kai’s dad, actor Liev Schreiber, also recently spoke about the moment Kai came out as transgender, calling it “profound.”
In an interview with Variety, he shared how natural the transition felt for him since Kai had always expressed herself in a feminine way.
“It didn’t feel like that big of a deal to me,” Liev explained, reflecting on how his child simply asked for her pronouns to be changed.
Liev and Naomi began their relationship back in 2005 but separated in 2016.
Naomi later married actor Billy Crudup, with a quiet courthouse ceremony in New York in 2023, followed by a larger celebration in Mexico a year later.
