A Star's Milestone: Naomi Watts' Big Day and the Notable Absences
Naomi Watts' Hollywood Walk of Fame moment was a celebration, but it also left many wondering about the missing faces.
Naomi Watts, the talented actress, had a memorable Monday as she received a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame on October 13th. However, amidst the joy, two significant people in her life were conspicuously absent from the ceremony: her daughter, Kai Schreiber, and her close friend, Nicole Kidman. Despite their absence, Naomi was surrounded by her supportive son, Sasha Schreiber, and her loving husband, Billy Crudup, who witnessed her deliver an inspiring speech.
"I'm incredibly proud of my children," Naomi expressed. "My son Sasha, a freshman at USC, made it straight from class. He's growing into an incredibly kind and charismatic young man," she gushed, beaming with pride.
Even though Kai wasn't physically present, Naomi made sure to give her a special mention, describing her as "a fierce and fearless high school senior." Naomi also acknowledged her stepsons, Will, as "a talented young artist following in his father's footsteps," as he prepares to graduate from college. Additionally, she expressed her gratitude for her husband, Billy, who has been a pillar of love and support.
But here's where it gets intriguing...
Kai's absence was likely due to her busy schedule during Fashion Month. She graced the runways for renowned designers like Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, and Jason Wu during New York Fashion Week in September. Her journey continued in Milan, where she walked for Fendi, Max Mara, Moschino, and The Attico. Kai's impressive runway presence continued at Paris Fashion Week in October, where she starred in shows for Mugler, Isabel Marant, and Valentino. After an incredible season, Kai expressed her gratitude on Instagram, writing, "I am eternally grateful for the opportunity and the fun I had."
And this is the part most people miss...
Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman has been navigating a challenging month following the news of her divorce from Keith Urban. The actress filed for divorce after 19 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." Nicole and Keith first met in 2005 and tied the knot the following year. Together, they welcomed two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, now aged 17 and 14, respectively.
Nicole and Naomi share an unbreakable bond that has spanned decades. They met through their work in the industry during the 1980s and have since supported each other through thick and thin, both personally and professionally. Their friendship is a testament to the power of enduring connections.
