Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber’s trans daughter, Kai, admits to ‘struggling with gender identity’ from young age

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber’s trans daughter, Kai, always had a vision for her future.

“I want to be a supermodel. Period,” Kai, 16, said in a Q&A with Interview Magazine published Wednesday when asked to share her dream career.

“I’ve been practicing my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film,” she continued. “Struggling with gender identity from a young age most likely had something to do with it.”

The teenager added, “I always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman, like Marilyn.”

Kai also told Interview that she looks up to “the older generation of transgender people.”

“People like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, Colin Jones, and so many more,” she said, listing her fashion role models.

“It’s so great that there’s a strong community of us in the fashion world; it’s really a doll takeover.”

Kai, who is the second child of Watts and Schreiber, made her runway debut for Valentino at Paris Fashion Week in March.

The following month, the model appeared in the fashion brand’s chic pre-fall campaign — with her mom celebrating the achievement on social media.

“Congratulations @kaischreiberrr — so exciting!! ❤️,” the “King Kong” actress, 56, gushed on Instagram, adding, “Beaming with pride 😃 🙌.”

Last month, Schreiber discussed Kai’s transgender identity publicly for the first time in an interview with Variety.

“Kai was always who Kai is,” the “Perfect Couple” actor, 57, told the outlet.

“But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns,” he explained. “To be honest with you, it didn’t feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.”

He described his fashionable daughter as being “as feisty and outspoken as they come.”

“Kai is such a fighter,” he added. “It’s important that she goes, ‘Hey, I am trans,’ and, ‘Look at me.’”

Schreiber and Watts began their relationship in 2005 — welcoming son Sasha in 2007 followed by Kai in 2008.

The former couple split in 2016 after 11 years together, but they’ve continued to amicably co-parent their children.

The blended family came together for Sasha’s graduation last week, with Watts’ husband, Billy Crudup, and Schreiber’s wife, Taylor Neisen, in attendance.
