A Mom’s Life for Naomi Watts
AUSTRALIAN film star Naomi Watts says the birth of her son has turned her life upside down.
“Everything is scheduled around feeding and I have intervals of about two-to-three hours,” Watts told reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday.
Looking glamourous in a black Chanel mini-dress, she said: “But that’s kind of my life right now and I love it. I could just spend hours gazing at him and I’m very proud of him.”
Watts, 38, was speaking on the 32nd floor of her hotel while six-week-old Alexander Pete was sleeping a couple of floors below.
She said his father, American actor Liev Schreiber, 39, was working in Lithuania.
After showing off a photo of her son, Watts said she and Schreiber had discussed names for him during the pregnancy.
“Then at the hospital we decided to go with these two names. Alexander is after Liev’s grandfather and Peter was my (late) father.
“Life has changed dramatically. It’s all about the baby. You think very differently. Everything requires more planning and you can’t be as spontaneous.
“He’s just such an innocent little bundle of joy and it’s such a powerful thing. I’m still getting in touch with this whole experience.
“A year ago having a baby was just an idea. Now it’s real and he’s just so dependent on us.”
Watts was non-committal about wedding plans for her and Schreiber.
“We’re happy as we are right now,” she said.
