Liev Schreiber has a lot of pride for his daughter Kai, who, according to him, came out transgender with a simple request.
“The deepest moment was that she was asking us to change her pronouns,” said the star of “Ray Donovan” Variety In an interview published Thursday.
The actor nominated at the Emmy, 57, spoke of his support for his daughter before their joint attendance during the spring gala on Friday for the Ali Forney Center, who works to support and provide a shelter to LGBTQ + homeless. He shares Kai, 16 and his 17 -year -old son Sasha with the star of “Mulholland Drive”, Naomi Watts.
Schreiber, who said, “Kai has always been what Kai was,” recalls that his daughter was going out like trans “did not feel so serious for me” because she “had been so feminine for so long”. He congratulated him as “such a fighter” but did not specify when his daughter came out.
Kai is a model, who recently made her professional debut in the Valentino campaign in winter '25, according to his IMG models profile. Although Schreiber said that Kai's release was relatively discreet, he said to trade: “It is important that she said:” Hey, I'm trans “and” look at me “.
Schreiber is the last of a handful of celebrities dads – including the former NBA star Dwyane Wadeand actors Marlon Wayans And Robert de Niro – who publicly expressed the support of their trans children. Last week, Niro's “Raging Bull” star said He “liked and supported Aaron as my son, and now I like and supports Alyn as my daughter”, after making public his transition in an interview in April with Them.
“I don't know what the problem is,” added Niro, who shares Alyn with actor Toukie Smith. “I love all my children.”
Although some celebrities have detailed their experiences raising trans children and offer advice to other parents, Schreiber explained themselves clearly by doing the same. “I do not know the answer to your child,” he told Variety, citing various factors, including the education of a parent or the spirituality or the religion of a family. He offered a nucleus of wisdom for parents to consider: “Teenagers are a headache. They are hard.

“It doesn't matter whether they are trans or not because you will get out,” he said. “But a trans teenager will be a teenager. They are so painful, and Kai is as fiery and frank as their arrival. ”
Schreiber and Watts were romantically linked from 2005 to 2016. Over the years, the ex has brought their children separately movie first and expressed them on social networks.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the only one, the Indomitable @Kaischreiberr”, Liev Schreiber subtitled a Instagram post of his daughter during her start on track in March.
