5 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT ME
THE OSCAR-NOMINATED ACTRESS OPENS UP ABOUT HER EX, TAKING RISKS AND MORE
I HAD A DIFFICULT CHILDHOOD After her parents’ divorce, Naomi — who was 4 at the time — spent years moving across England with her mother and older brother. “I went to nine different schools,” says Naomi, 54. “Started off in Kent. Moved to Cambridge for a little while. We lived in Norfolk, we lived in Suffolk, in Wales — that was where my grandparents were. So, a lot of moving, a lot of new schools, a lot of reinventing myself.”
I’M FRIENDS WITH MY EX “I’m pretty proud of us,” Naomi says of her relationship with actor Liev Schreiber, with whom she shares kids Sasha, 15, and Kai, 13. The two broke up in 2016 after 11 years together, but “we’ve made it our absolute priority to be good and kind to each other, and we’re absolutely committed to that.”
I USED TO BE A REAL DAREDEVIL “I’ve skydived. I went swimming with sharks that weren’t in cages. I went on safari, where you’re sitting with lions just five feet from you,” she admits. “But now that I have kids, I don’t want to do so many daredevil-y things anymore.”
I’M IN LOVE AGAIN Naomi and her Gypsy co-star, Billy Crudup, have been a couple for six years. Although they like to keep their relationship private, Naomi’s posted many sweet pics with “my love” on Instagram.
I EMBRACE AGING In October, Naomi launched a wellness line called Stripes, which caters to menopause health. “This is not the end of life, where we should be invisible and irrelevant. It’s the beginning of something wonderful, actually.”
