Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber to separate after 11 years

Published By Marriska Fernandes on Sep 27, 2016

Liev Schreiber and Naomi WattsLove is truly dying. Another Hollywood power couple bites the dust.

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, who have been together for 11 years, are separating. They released a joint statement that reads: "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. 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. While we appreciate your curiosity and support, we ask the press to be mindful of our children and respect their right to privacy.”

Though never married, the couple have been together since 2005. They have two sons Alexander "Sasha" Pete, 9, and Samuel "Sammy" Kai, 7. They were last seen together at the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of their film The Bleeder.

This news comes as a big surprise as the Ray Donovan actor recently spoke to Us Weekly about the secret to their long-term relationship at the Toronto International Film Festival. He revealed: "It's all about patience and we got lucky enough to work together. I think just being kind, patient and having quiet nights in together is the best for us."

This is the second big Hollywood split in a week since news broke of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce.

    So literally days after revealing the secret to a long term relationship, they disband. Guess the relationship Gods didn't like him telling the secret... Or is it a contest to see which couple is more popular in Hollywood? Sorry Liev, but Brangelina win hands down.

    Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber separate after 11 years news is sad to hear as I went to see the bleeder film at the Toronto film festival and saw the q and a after the film with Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber and the other people involved in the film, plus the real life person that it was about was a nice treat, the problem lies here as they should of got married before to stamp their foundation in the relationship together with their kids, as a lot of them fail because they don't have Christ in their life and then their being together are base on nothing much when u don't have a relationship with god, as that where married come from the father that created us all, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber separate seeing this news is very very sad
