While visiting Jerusalem on Tuesday, Naomi Watts — carrying son Samuel Kai, 6 months — rests a hand on the Western Wall.
The family, including Liev Schreiber and 22-month-old son Sasha, are currently vacationing in Israel, where they were spotted planting trees earlier this week.

Finally a picture! He’s cute! Looks more like Liev.
- Sarah on
Just as adorable as his big brother! But he looks completely different!
- Ryo on
Oh my goodness, he’s adorable!!
- Fifi on
He is so adorable. lol. this is the first time you actually see him. I love this family!
- ZBP on
Naomi’s kids are cute.
- Christina Bledsoe on
Finally a clear pic of him!! I see a lot of his big brother in him…So sweet
- jenny on
Oh my–this is the first real face shot we’ve had of Kai and my oh my he’s a GORGEOUS one–he’s simply delicious–he looks like big brother Sascha–but the thing i love about Naomi and Liev’s boys–they are the perfect combination of both of them–I see Naomi’s coloring in him but some of daddy’s features…beautiful–but with mom and dad, these boys were obviously going to be hit with the gorgeous stick!
- Megan on
did Naomi and Liev get married? looks like she’s wearing a wedding band…
- Ally on
what a sweetheart!!!!!! I love how he’s gumming that toy.
I hope to get a better glimpse of Samuel soon.
- Nona on
I’m a little disheartened that the paparazzi decided to photograph at the Western Wall. I feel like I’m peeking in on a moment I shouldn’t be.
That said, Kai is adorable – not Sasha adorable, mind you – but cute just the same.
- Nicole on
ahhh, cute! so big already.
btw, is this a wedding ring on her finger?:)
- kai on
That is a very moving photo. I hope Liev was on hand to snap up a shot for the family. I just love how at peace they both seem!
- Erin on
wow he is big for 6 months!
- jacky on
I can’t really tell who he looks like, but I’m thinking more like Liev?
- Natasha on
I actually don’t think Kai looks anything like Sasha. I see Daddy in him more than Naomi.
- Brooke on
he doesn’t look like Sasha a lot, but he’s adorable as well! I can’t wait to see him as he grows up.
- Solène on
Nicole, I totally agree. I was thinking the same thing. At first it looked like a personal photo taken by someone she was with, but then I wondered how disgusting it must have been to have paparazzi at such a holy and meditative location. Quite honestly, taking any photographs there just feels wrong.
- Amanda on
Lovely family. Parents look so happy. Children are beautiful. Lucky them. All happiness to them.
- Judy on
I agree. You wouldn’t let the paps into any other synaogue or church while services are going on, why is this any different? I’ve been there, and they DEFINITELY shouldn’t be in a place where men and women don’t even pray together because of religious regulations. Wonder how the Hasidic women felt about that…
I’ll get off my soapbox now. Kai looks chubbier than Sasha, both are cute.
- Allison on
He is adorable….I think he is a combination of his parents, but favors his daddy more. too cute!
- CTBmom on
This is definitely a contender for the best shot I’ve ever seen on this site. At the same time, I’m stunned and sad that the paparazzi would follow them all the way to Israel. Kai’s gorgeous regardless, though I definitely wouldn’t say he looks just like Sasha. He’s got his own look for sure.
- Lauren on
thought he was called “sammy” … when did they change to “kai”???
- kate on
Aw! Sasha has more delicate features that Samuel-but both adorable!
- Pamela on
Are they calling him Kai instead of Samuel? I ♥ the name Kai!!!
- Crystal on
He is cute. But he is totally different of his brother. Is funny because sometimes Sasha looks tiny for his age but this baby is the other way around. He seems big for his age..
- lina on
Oh, WHAT A HANDSOME LITTLE GUY! I totally LOVE this picture! I do see a little of Naomi and Sasha in little Samuel, but as far as I can tell, his looks are closer to Liev-not that there is anything wrong with that! 
Won’t their family pics be adorable-Sasha a clone of Mom and Sammy looks like Dad! Too cute!!
And I agree with whoever said that Sasha is small for his age, whereas Sam is big! It really doesn’t matter if they are small or big, as long as they are both healthy. Once again, congrats to both Naomi and Liev.
- Jackie on
I think theyre married..since her hat is covering up her hair LOL..that child is omgoshhhh adorable! just like his brother
- Shira on
I am really disappointed that the paparazzi would steal this moment from the family. While the baby is cute, I would imagine it was a private moment for Naomi. I know they’re celebrities but geesh you’d think there’d be an amount of respect.
- Heather on
What an absolutely gorgeous little boy! I agree with those who say he seems to look a bit more like his dad, while Sasha looks more like Naomi.
Am a bit sad to see the paparazzi being so close to them in such a holy place – it feels like invading a private moment, even more than usual.
- Eliza on
CBB, I do agree–while it’s lovely to see Kai’s face (he is so gorgeous!!!) I do think this picture is too intrusive to post.
- Jamie on
naw he is so adorable. I can’t believe 6 months has gone past already?
does anyone know whether they call him Samuel or Kai ?
- jessica on
Is this (and the 3 others posted with Sasha) actually a paparazzi shot? This one just seems even closer than most paparazzi shots, and in the other post Liev and Naomi are posing for the camera in the first picture.
Kai is adorable though; he almost looks like he’s almost the same size as Sasha although of course I know that can’t be right! I guess it’s just because Naomi is pretty small that her boys look so big when she’s holding them!
- alice jane on
i doubt this is a paparazzi shot, there are seperate sides for men and women and the western wall, so probably it’s just a woman who recognized her and took it, or it’s their shot. they are not so famous that paparazzi would follow them to israel, and not famous enough for israeli paparazzi. they have cute kids.
- Tamara on
Is he called Kai now? I remember Liev referred to him as Sammy and then said that they weren’t sure whether to call him Samuel or Kai!
- Sisa on
in case anyone cares, liev’s not wearing a wedding ring in the pics from yesterday. hm. these two are probably never going to tell us anyway.
ps. love the name kai! lol
- kai on
Unless they changed it, they’re calling him ‘Sammy.’ That’s what they’ve called him in several interviews, at least.
He is precious! Just as cute as Sascha, but in a different way!!
- Sarah M. on
I actually don’t think these are paparazzi shots – I think this is like what happens when celebs get their pics taken at Disneyland, where there’s an official photographer and they have permission because they are really close both in this pic and in yesterday’s.
- Ryo on
As strange as it might sound- for your information there are actually photographers in Israel too! yes israeli paparazi! They had a very low key holiday, they even dined at the hotel’s dinning room and were pretty much incognito. They even met the prime minister Shimon Peres!
kid is cute! and quite frankly I would’nt recognise her either if I’d bumped into her here…
- Galia on
In regards to the name Naomi said on Ellen a few months ago that they were calling him Sammy (at that time) but were talking about changing it because they didn’t think it would work when he was older. And she said they had a hard time deciding between Samuel Kai and Kai Samuel. Liev has referred to him as Kai in several of his most recent interviews, so it’s fair to say they’ve made the switch.
Also these are not paparazzi pictures, they are traveling with a Jewish foundation group and the foundation is releasing the photos to the media every day. In my line of work I get them in my email as well.
That said Kai is adorable and has Sasha’s serious eyebrows/expression but looks a little more like Liev.
- April on
As someone who is Jewish and lived in Israel, it makes me sad to know the paparazzi are taking photos at the Western Wall. It’s inappropriate and disrespectful.
Both their boys are beautiful and favour Naomi a lot.
- Lily on
AFAIK – there were no paparzzi images taken as we dont have any images of them in the local newspapers or TV – I only read a mention of their visit here saying it was a private one – I guess the local paparzzi acknowledged it and left them alone.
- nir on
samuel looks completely different than alexander, and much cuter without thad sad expression
- sam on
i think this boy looks just like his mama. sasha looks like liev and this little lovely is all naomi… so adorable..
and yeah, i’d really hope it wasn’t a paparazzi at her shoulder in this holy place.. that would suck so badly it doesn’t bear thinking about.
- pia on
i totally agree with nicole and others that have writtten about the picture being taken by the paps at such a special place. it is one thing for another member of her party to snap the pic! however some mentioned that liev might have taken it but is not the case because men would not be allowed to enter onto the women’s side!!! that said kai/sammy or whatever they r calling him now is absolutely adorable and although he doesnt look like sasha you can tell they r brothers!!!! so cute!!! adorable family!!
- ShiraB on
Wow. He is really, really cute. I mean really, REALLY cute!
Anybody else think it’s weird they “switched” what they’re calling him? It’s almost like changing his name… Dunno, maybe it’s just me 
- Lis on
he’s a cutie. it’s weird that people complain about not seeing a celebrity’s baby but when they finally see a pic, they complain about how they think the photo was taken. who knows who actually took the photo in the first place
- jessie on
lis, i don’t think this is weird since kai is his given name. i mean it’s not like naming kid alexander and calling him sasha all the time. THAT is like changing name
- sam on
Sam-
Sasha is actually a diminutive form of Alexander so calling him Sasha is no different then calling him Alex, or calling Samual, Sammy.
- Karen on
I am heartbroken that someone at the Wailing Wall would take a picture of somebody praying and sell it for a profit. It is such a holy place that anyone who goes there, celebrity or not, deserves a little respect and privacy to pray. I have been there before and I couldn’t imagine if I saw a celebrity that I would take a picture of them, let alone sell it to the press. They are a beautiful family and unless this picture came directly from them, I think that the whole situation around it is very sad.
- Beaglie on
same as sasha, kai has naomi’s colouring and liev’s features although in a totally different way to his big brother!!
how adorable!!
- mazzie on
To me he’s all Naomi.
- Anon on
karen,that’s not really true. alexander, alex and sasha is / can be different names. if you want to call kid sasha, you name him sasha, so than kid named alexander is called sasha for me it sounds like giving him different name and callind kai kai is absolutely normal
- sam on
I never got why people go by their kids middle names. Shortening a name is different but if you wanted to call him Kai why not name him Kai?? And if he’s older and decides to change it that’s different. I would never decide to name my son James Christopher and proceed to call him Chris! But that’s just me.
BTW I’m with others who said these are NOT paparazzi style photos. First and foremost we’ve seen Liev go off on paparazzi I highly doubt they’d be allowing someone who had no permission to take these photos without hearing about a backlash! And to me from the other photos they look like they’ve perhaps given permission for the release of them. But I’m no expert either.
- JMO on
jessie – i don’t think anyone is complaining about seeing a photo of the baby, just if some paparazzi took a photo of them at the wailing wall, which is very sacred to those of us who are jewish, it would be wrong. no arguments. just wrong. however, if they were authorized to take photos, by naomi and liev, that’s a different matter entirely.
- pia on
He looks nothing like his big brother…IMO…he is such a cutie though!!!
- Daisy on
The other day I was in the apple store here in NYC and I was trying to push my stroller between this man kneeling with his child talking to a staffer and a wall. I thought the man was so rude kneeling right there – I said excuse me many times – and then just pushed my stroller through, slamming the man in the lower back (by mistake???) He turned around and it was Liev with Sasha!!! I was like “Soorry” – he smile and that was it. ha!
- kim on
Kai is absolutely beautiful, he looks like Sasha in the mouth but has Liev’s eyes! He is just as beautiful as his big brother is!
- babyboopie on
I think Samuel looks like Liev and Sasha looks like Naomi.
- Marilyn on
He is cute, and looks a bit like sasha
- gianna on
can someone tell me what nationality Liev is. I know that the couple mostly lives in New York, and that Naomi is from Australia, but Schreiber is a german name and now here their are in Israel, so did Liev’s family came from eatern Europe ( like mine!!) to the states?
Sasha looks a lot like Noami but i think that he has this very cute european face…
And Samuel is a jewish name so…
- Helen on
Oh wow…I was just there less than a week ago!
- MLS on
Helen, Liev is American, of mixed western and eastern European heritage. I suspect he is Jewish as well. I originally thought that he was Russian- Liev is a Russian name, and the shortening of Alexander to Sasha is also a Russian thing, but I was wrong, lol. Anyway, great-looking family, this is one of the few pics I’ve seen of Sasha smiling- how cute is he!! Though let’s face it, the kid is adorable no matter what face he’s making. I think Kai is all Liev, from what I’ve seen, but I’ve never seen a great shot of him.
- Lioness on
Sam, in many parts of the world Sasha really is just a short form of Alexander, so they’re not giving him a different name. It’s no different than people called John being given the nickname Jack. Sounds weird, but that’s just the accepted nickname.
- actualsize on
Kai is just as cute as his big bro, Sasha! He seems to take more after his mama to me right now.
- FC on
What a cutie. I am sure he will break many hollywood baby girl’s hearts. Beautiful.
- Benigna Marko on
It’s days like these when I wish I was the mother of Sasha and Kai… I never get tired of seeing them. Sasha has got fair skin, and I think that is so adorable. More pics of this family, anyone?
- Holly on
This photo was not necessarily done by the paps but it would be extremely out of character for the schreibers to do it.I think it was a fellow tourist who then just sold it.
It was taken by the photographer for the Jewish National Fund, the group that they were touring with.
