Liev Schreiber hits back at claims his child Kai is a nepo baby after budding model made fashion runway debut on the catwalk for Valentino

Liev Schreiber has hit back at claims his child Kai is a nepo baby as the teenager made their fashion runway debut at Paris Fashion Week.

The American actor, 57, told TMZ that it’s unfair to claim 16-year-old Kai’s success is a result of their famous parents.

‘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?’ he said.

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

‘I’m super proud of her and I thought she did an amazing job with the show,’ Liev gushed.

Liev shares Kai and son Sasha, 17, with Naomi Watts, who he was in a relationship with for 11 years before they amicably split in 2016.

Kai made their runway debut at Paris Fashion Week as they stepped out on the catwalk for Valentino.

The budding model donned a knit snakeskin mini dress with a feathered collar for their career launch with the designer fashion house.

Their accessories included a beige headband which covered most of their blonde tresses, along with Havana sunglasses which featured blue lenses.

White lace stockings and matching sandals with a rose strap completed the ensemble.

Kai uploaded a gallery of photos of their catwalk debut, including pictures from behind-the-scenes which showed them sitting in the hair and makeup chair.

‘Omggg my heart is so full,’ they captioned the reel of images.

Their actress mother Naomi, 56, also shared content of Kai walking for Valentino, including video which saw her excitedly re-watching the show online.

‘Oh my god,’ the Hollywood star exclaimed several times as she laid in bed watching her child model for the huge brand.

Kai’s father Liev is married to Taylor Neisen while Naomi went on to find love again with Billy Crudup. 

Naomi and American actor Billy tied the knot in a modest wedding ceremony at a New York courthouse in June 2023.

They then exchanged vows for a second time a year later in a larger ceremony with their family and friends in Mexico. 

Videos shared on social media by Naomi’s brother Ben at the time gave an insight into the lavish ceremony, with notable guests including Nicole Kidman and Isla Fisher. 

Naomi’s child Kai and her niece Ruby were bridesmaids.

Her son Sasha and Billy’s son William, 20, who he shares with Mary Louise Parker, were also in the wedding party.
