Naomi Watts will wed for kids

Naomi Watts doesn’t think marriage is important. The 44-year-old actress is engaged to long-term partner Liev Schreiber – with who she has sons Alexander, two, and Kai, 18 months – but doesn’t think they will tie the knot unless their kids ask them to.

She said: “Will we marry soon? We’ll see. It’s never been that important to me. If it was important to our children, I would do it in a heartbeat. We’ll see.”

The ‘King Kong’ star also admitted she felt an “intense chemistry” when she finally realised she would get together with the actor.

She explained to Marie Claire magazine: “We met here and there before the night we knew something was going to happen.

“It was never the right time, or we were with other people. But it was spoken about – we’ve got a couple who are good friends and tried to set us up for years.

“When we finally saw each other at the Met Ball five years ago, we were both single and very aware of each other in the room. It was kind of an intense chemistry. Definitely.

“I don’t know about love at first sight, but there was a strong desire for one another.”
