Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber’s trans daughter Kai looked every inch the budding model she is. 

Kai, 16, showed off her long legs in a pair of distressed denim shorts and a red t-shirt while on a walk in New York City this week.

The shirt featured the Coca-Cola logo in white except it said Ciao Bella instead.

She wore black cat eye sunglasses and a pair of beat up white high top sneakers that she left untied.

The sighting comes after she and her actor dad attended the Ali Forney Center’s A Place at the Table gala at The Glasshouse.

The annual event recognized the strength of LGBTQ+ young people and paid tribute to those who are dedicated to creating a welcoming and encouraging environment for them in the coming years.

The Ali Forney Center provides housing and support for homeless LGBTQ youth and  serves more than 2,200 young people through its 24/7 Drop-In Center and network of 13 emergency and transitional housing sites, per Variety.

‘This isn’t just about representing the trans community,’ he said. 

‘This is actually a community of people who don’t have great resources, who don’t have access to help, who aren’t being protected and looked after by their families. 

‘These are people who are being rejected. These are people who are experiencing the harshest version of humanity that we can offer, and some of them are not surviving it.

‘We got to bear that in mind when we go out there and glam ourselves up and get ready to be seen, you know?’ Schreiber continued. 

‘That what we’re doing is actually raising money for a community that desperately needs it.’

Kai is embracing her space in the trans community like never before, Schreiber said. 

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

This year’s gala celebrated the resilience of LGBTQ + youth and honored the individuals and organizations working to build a more inclusive, supportive future

‘Kai was always who Kai is. But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns,’ he told the outlet

Liev opened up about the moment when Kai came out to him last week. 

‘Kai was always who Kai is. But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns,’ he told Variety.

‘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.’

In regards to advice he has for parents who also have kids who have come out as trans, Liev simply stated, ‘I don’t know the answer for your kid.’

He further explained that he felt it was ‘an overstep’ for him to do so due to every circumstance being unique and different.

The actor, however, did briefly talk about raising teenagers in general and said, ‘I guess if I would say anything to someone who’s having trouble with their trans teen or their adolescent trans kid it’s ‘Teenagers are a f***ing headache. They’re hard.

‘It doesn’t matter whether they’re trans or not because you’ll come out of this. But a trans teen is going to be a teen.’

The Perfect Couple star continued, ‘They’re such a pain in the a** so much of the time, and Kai is as feisty and outspoken as they come.’ 

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

In March, Kai made her runway debut in the Valentino show at Paris Fashion Week, which led to cries that she was a nepo baby, which didn’t sit well with her father. 

While talking to TMZ in March, the actor expressed: ‘I don’t have many thoughts for the haters. What if you were a professional actor and your child decided they wanted to do something in this world?

‘Do they have a choice? It doesn’t matter. That’s her life and she does what she wants with her life.’

The father-of-three added, ‘I’m super proud of her and I thought she did an amazing job with the show.’

Kai has given a few snippets of her budding modeling career on Instagram – and currently boasts around 18K followers.
