LIEV SCHREIBER CHOSE THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY

Liev Schreiber couldn’t be happier- after seven years of dating and a recent quiet marriage, he and Taylor Neisen are expecting a baby.  He was with Naomi Watts  for ten years and had two children, but they had a “modern relationship” and never married. (Like Goldie and Kurt) Consequently, when they decided to split and go their separate ways in 2016, there was no messy divorce and they remain friends, raising their kids together. Interesting that both he and Naomi chose the old fashioned way and both MARRIED their current partners (She’s with Billy Crudup)  So much for “modern”relationships…

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Liev Schreiber is in Venice, Italy, relaxing between scenes of his currently filming movie “Across the River and into the Trees.” It’s another melancholy all-male oriented script based on an Ernest Hemingway book of the same name. It takes place after WWII – Liev Schreiber plays a 50 year old heroic American Colonel with a terminal illness, who reminisces about his traumatic war experiences back in the locations in Italy where he fought. To his astonishment, he falls in love with a MUCH younger woman (surprise, surprise!) he meets there and spends the end of his life with her. It may be sentimental, but it sure sounds DEPRESSING, and we won’t be getting in line to see it. The WRONG part of the above photo is Liev’s very trendy beard which you would NEVER see on the face of a uniformed American Colonel in those days…

BREAKING UP WASN’T THAT HARD TO DO FOR LIEV SCHREIBER

Turns out Liev Schreiber is nothing like his questionable character Ray Donovan. He and Naomi Watts have had one of the most civilized break-ups in Hollywood history. The fact that they never actually married certainly made it easier- but after 11 years of togetherness and two kids, Liev and Naomi simply fell out of love. But what’s important is, they never stopped LIKING each other. Liev moved out into a New York apartment close to Naomi and the kids, and they share custody. Liev is often seen out with Kai, 11, and Sasha, 13, – sometimes he brings along his new girlfriend Taylor Neisen. Taylor and Naomi are so friendly that they all lived together for awhile during social isolation. Recently Liev wished Naomi happy birthday by posting a cute photo of her and captioning it “You are the best ex ever!”

FEARLESS RAY DONOVAN TAKES HIS CHANCES ON STREETS OF NEW YORK

Ray Donovan star Liev Schreiber, 52, hopped on a scooter to weave in and out of NY traffic – he was in a hurry to make it on time to a haircut appointment in the city. Hopefully he will survive this risky trek because outraged fans have demanded that the recently canceled Ray Donovan series return for a more fitting ending after seven seasons…

LIEV SCHREIBER: AGE IS NOTHING BUT A NUMBER

That woman with the luggage has NO idea that she’s walking past a celebrity crossing the street in Manhattan. Ray Donovan star Liev Schreiber, 51, took his sons, his girlfriend Taylor Neisen, 26, and his dog, to the park for some basketball and skateboarding. Last night on SNL, Pete Davidson acknowledged the 20 year age difference between him and girlfriend Kate Beckinsale, and he called out a long list of celebrities in the same situation, but he forgot to name Liev Schreiber!

RAY DONOVAN HAS A TENDER SIDE

Liev Schreiber’s sons may not realize it now, but they seem to have a very cool dad. Liev, 51, not only rides bikes with his sons Alex, 11, and Sam, 10, all over New York, but he takes time for a heart to heart talk when needed. (Above with Sam.) Life is good for the Ray Donovan star – the series just got renewed for the seventh season so Liev is enjoying a steady income. Since 2016, he’s been quietly keeping company with Miss South Dakota, Taylor Neisen, 26, so he’s got a good thing going.

LIEV SCHREIBER DOES HIS OWN HAULING

Liev Schreiber, who plays tough-guy Ray Donovan, apparently doesn’t have staffers to do schlepping for him. He walked from his building to his parking garage in New York with a wagon loaded with items he was taking somewhere for Thanksgiving. His cart was so full he had to stop and rearrange the bags when they fell. He pulled the cart into the garage to load up his car before taking off.

NAOMI WATTS AND LIEV SCHREIBER’S SEPARATION IS A SUCCESS

Soooo… Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber’s split after 11 years together has worked out rather well. They have two children and at first their separation in 2016 looked like it might be not so friendly. Liev, 50, was cavorting with a 25 year old beauty queen (Miss South Dakota) and playfully calling her a nanny. Luckily, Naomi started filming Gypsy for Netflix and fell for her leading man Billy Crudup – they are both 49. Gypsy was canceled, but Naomi and Billy are still together, and she and Liev are successfully co-parenting and on friendly terms.

RAY DONOVAN WOULD NEVER DO THIS

Obviously 6’3” Liev Schreiber doesn’t fancy himself to be a tough guy like his Donovan character. When his dog Woodrow was a small puppy, Liev carried him around in a pouch strapped across his chest. Now the pooch has a wooden box with a comfy little bed for their bike rides together in New York. It ALMOST makes up for the fact that since his split from Naomi Watts, Liev, 50, has been dating a former Miss South Dakota, Taylor Niesen, 26. Almost.

RAY DONOVAN IS SOLVING PROBLEMS IN NEW YORK

Liev Schreiber’s character Ray Donovan is firmly entrenched in New York for season 6 – Ray was filmed getting off a city bus in Times Square today. (And Susan Sarandon is joining the cast as a series regular.) Liev seems to have settled his private life into a good place. The 50 year old actor split with Naomi Watts, 49, in 2016, and they have two young boys. He’s been dating beauty queen Taylor Neisen, 26, (Miss South Dakota) since last year and friends felt bad for Naomi. But now Naomi is happily dating an age appropriate actor, Billy Crudup, 49, – her costar in the new Netflix series Gypsy. So all is well – Liev and Naomi are friendly and spend time together with their kids and dogs.
