Naomi Watts And Liev Schreiber Drop Son Sasha At Usc: Tears And Cheers In Socal

Hollywood Parents Bid Farewell to Sasha at USC

It's that time of year again in SoCal, where the back-to-school grind hits even the glitziest of families. Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, one of Hollywood's most beloved ex-couples, just waved goodbye to their firstborn, Sasha, as he embarked on his college journey at the University of Southern California. The Trojan territory welcomed the 18-year-old with open arms, but not without a flood of emotions from his star-studded parents.

The duo, who also share daughter Kai, took to Instagram to spill all the feels about Sasha’s big move. From unpacking dorm essentials to getting lost on campus, it was a classic LA family affair - think less red carpet and more Trader Joe’s runs for last-minute snacks. Their posts paint a picture of a tight-knit crew navigating the chaos of move-in day with heart and humor.

Naomi Watts’ Emotional Rollercoaster on Move-In Day

On August 20, Watts dropped a carousel of pics showing her, Schreiber, and Sasha settling into his new USC digs. From color-coding his dorm to snapping a cozy family shot on his bed, the 56-year-old actress didn’t hold back on the nostalgia. “We packed and unpacked, walked a ton, and yeah, sometimes bickered over dumb stuff,” she admitted in her caption, channeling every parent’s chaotic move-in energy.

She also confessed to shedding “a few extra secret cries” alongside some not-so-subtle ones. But through the tears, Watts celebrated the memories - building furniture, chatting with Siri for directions, and meeting Sasha’s new crew. It’s the kind of raw, real moment you’d expect from a mom who’s been killing it on-screen and off since her Mulholland Drive days.

“Watching Sasha grow into this incredible young man has been the ride of my life - I’m so proud, but man, letting go stings,” Watts shared, reflecting on her son’s milestone.

Liev Schreiber’s Proud Dad Vibes

Not to be outdone, Schreiber, 57, dropped his own tribute on August 17, just before Sasha’s first day as a Trojan. The Emmy-nominated actor posted a sweet father-son snap, captioning it with pure dad pride. “USC is getting one of the deepest, kindest, bravest, and most beautiful boys I’ve ever known,” he gushed, proving he’s as much a softie as he is a tough guy on-screen.

Calling Sasha his “ride or die,” Schreiber admitted the empty nest struggle is real. But with Sasha’s hard work and big dreams landing him at one of SoCal’s top schools, it’s clear this dad knows his kid’s got the grit to make it - Hollywood pedigree or not.

Celebrating Milestones: From Birthdays to Red Carpets

Let’s rewind a bit - Sasha’s been hitting milestones left and right. Back on July 25, Watts marked his 18th birthday with another Insta post, marveling at how fast time flies in Tinseltown. “Thank you for making me a first-time mum,” she wrote, alongside a throwback that had us all reaching for tissues.

And it’s not just family moments stealing the spotlight. Sasha joined his parents at the 30th Critics’ Choice Awards in February, where Schreiber snagged best supporting actor for 'The Perfect Couple.' Sasha’s cheeky shout-out on Instagram - “So proud of my pops… and mom for trying” - had that quintessential Gen Z humor with a side of Hollywood glam.

A New Chapter for Sasha in SoCal

As Sasha settles into life at USC, located right in the heart of LA’s South Central vibe (just a stone’s throw from the iconic Coliseum), his parents are rooting for him every step of the way. Watts summed it up best in her post: “He dreamed big and worked hard for something wonderful.” That’s the kind of hustle that fits right in with the City of Angels.

So, while Naomi and Liev might be feeling the pinch of an emptier nest, there’s no doubt Sasha’s ready to take on this new chapter with the same charisma and grit as his A-list folks. Here’s to late-night study sessions, tailgates, and making his mark - Trojan style!
