Actress Naomi Watts is stepping into her new chapter with grace and strength. Following her split from Liev Schreiber, she’s embracing life as a single mom and isn’t rushing into anything new. Let me tell you, this woman is handling it all with poise and focus.

According to an insider speaking exclusively to Closer Weekly, Naomi is taking her time and isn’t looking for love just yet. “She’s not seeing anyone special,” the source revealed. “Naomi’s not out there obsessing over finding someone new. If it happens, it happens, but for now, her priority is her boys.” And honestly, who could blame her? She’s got two amazing kids to focus on.

    Naomi and Liev were a couple for over a decade before calling it quits in late September 2016. At the time, they issued a heartfelt joint statement explaining their decision. “Over the past few months, we’ve come to the conclusion that the best way forward for us as a family is to separate as a couple,” they said. “It is with great love, respect, and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship.”

    They also expressed their desire for privacy, especially concerning their kids. “While we appreciate your curiosity and support, we ask the press to be mindful of our children and respect their right to privacy.” It’s clear that the well-being of their sons, Alexander, 9, and Samuel, 8, remains their top priority.
