Naomi Watts has shared never before seen photos of her children Sasha, 17, and Kai, 16, in a heartwarming Mother's Day post.
The Australian-British actress, 56, posted a gallery of images to Instagram which contained throwback pictures of the siblings as children.
The trio were all smiles in the photos as Naomi cuddled up to her toddlers, who she shares with ex Liev Schreiber, writing in the caption she was 'full' of love for them.
'My heart is so full. Thank you Sasha and Kai for giving me motherhood,' she said.
She went on to also thank her current husband Billy Crudup for organising Mother's Day for her.
'And to Billy for the most wonderful day. Feeling so grateful,' she wrote.
The first image in the reel saw Naomi sitting in the background as her young tots got up close to the camera with big smiles.
Another photo had the King Kong star cradling Kai in the first year of her life as her brother watched on.
The final images in the carousel saw Naomi going out to a local cafe to enjoy the day with her children as adults.
It comes after Naomi's daughter Kai came out as transgender online with a heartwarming post.
'I'm so eternally grateful that I'm so supported as a young transgender girl,' Kai began in a caption alongside a reel of selfies.
'But there are so many boys and girls like me who can't say they have the same blessing.
'Our job is to stand up and support those young beautiful lives, and the @aliforneycenter is helping us to do so.'
The Ali Forney Center is a New York City non-profit which provides shelter and healthcare services to LGBTQIA+ youth experiencing homelessness.
Every inch the proud mother, Naomi commented beneath the post: 'Such important words. Beautiful girl, I'm so proud of you.'
Kai's father Liev, 57, also recently opened up about his daughter and the 'profound moment' when his second eldest child came out to him as trans.
The Ray Donovan actor - who recently hit back at claims Kai is a nepo baby - discussed the topic for the first time during an interview with Variety on Thursday.
'Kai was always who Kai is. But I suppose the most profound moment was her asking us to change her pronouns,' he told the outlet.
'To be honest with you, it didn't feel like that big of a deal to me only because Kai had been so feminine for so long.'
Liev also applauded the teen's strength, saying: 'Kai is such a fighter. It's important that she goes, "Hey, I am trans," and, "Look at me," and, "F*** you. F*** off."'
In regards to advice he has for parents who also have kids who have come out as trans, Liev simply stated: 'I don't know the answer for your kid.'
He further explained he felt it was 'an overstep' for him to do so due to every circumstance being unique and different.
Naomi and Liev began dating in 2005 but later split in 2016.
Liev has since married Taylor Neisen while Naomi went on to find love again with Billy Crudup.
Naomi and American actor Billy, 56, tied the knot in a modest wedding ceremony at a New York courthouse in June 2023.
They then exchanged vows for a second time a year later in a larger ceremony with their family and friends in Mexico.
Videos shared on social media by Naomi's brother Ben at the time gave an insight into the lavish ceremony, with notable guests including Nicole Kidman and Isla Fisher.
Kai and Naomi's niece Ruby were bridesmaids.
Her son Sasha and Billy's son William, 20, who he shares with Mary Louise Parker, were also in the wedding party.
