Naomi Watts recently shared a very emotional milestone. The 56-year-old actress took to Instagram to announce that her son had officially started college at the University of Southern California.
Watts also posted several photos from her 18-year-old son’s move-in day, including one where her son is sitting on his new dorm room bed as she proudly snaps his picture. She and her ex-husband, actor Liev Schreiber (57), also presented a united front, posing together with their son, Sasha, on campus. The former couple also shares a daughter, Kai, who is now 16.
In a lengthy caption, Watts reflected on various moments, from packing and shopping to moments of silliness and plenty of hugs. She admitted to having “a few secret cries” (and some not-so-secret ones) while helping him get settled into his dorm.
“We packed and unpacked, stacked and color coded. We walked and walked, woke up early with excitement,” Watts began. “Then we shopped and shopped, and sometimes fought about stupid stuff… We laughed, we cried, I had a few extra secret cries and maybe some not so private ones. We hugged a lot. We built things, we talked to robots, we ate good food. We got lost a bunch,” she continued.
The Feud star added, “We met so many great people. We had deep talks mixed in with a few fart jokes… then gave advice about how the world works. But then remembered: he’s got this!! He did it!! He dreamed big and worked really hard for something wonderful. Go @sashapeteschreiber – we love you so much. #usc”
