Personal Life
Schreiber has a half sister and four half brothers, one of whom, Pablo, is also an actor. The other half-brothers are Max, Charles, and Will. He has a Jack Russell terrier named Chicken (born in the spring of 2000). He is a good friend of Dustin Hoffman. He enjoys basketball, fencing, cycling, and has played football in the past. He has previously dated Kristin Davis, and Kate Driver, sister of Minnie Driver.
Rumors around his relationship with British-Australian actress Naomi Watts (with whom he appeared in The Painted Veil) have long flown over whether the couple are in fact married. Schreiber has tricked the media once before in 2007 by calling Naomi his wife. This caused the rumours about a secret ceremony to again come up; however, there has been no proof given other than Liev's word in the video which was shot in early June 2009. Naomi was quoted near the end of January 2010 saying that Liev had in fact given her a ring (which she was not wearing at the time) but that neither of them wanted to rush into marriage. Their first son Alexander Pete was born in 2007. They call him Sasha, a Russian nickname variation of the name Alexander. In 2008, Watts gave birth to the couple's second son, Samuel Kai. Watts stated in April 2010 that the pair would have a third child if they could guarantee a baby girl.
