Liev Schreiber and GF Taylor Neisen allegedly expecting first child together after 5 years of dating
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Rumor is that ‘Ray Donovan’ star Liev Schreiber, 55, is expecting a child together with girlfriend Taylor Neisen, 31, after being in a relationship for five years. While the child would be Neisen’s first, it would be Schreiber’s third as he shares two boys, Alexander 'Sasha', 16, and Samuel 'Kai', 15, with former beau Naomi Watts, 54.
According to Daily Mail, who first reported about the pregnancy, the couple is sharing the good news with their well-wishers. However, the news is still speculation considering the actor and his representatives have not issued any formal statement on this upcoming addition to the family.

Liev Schreiber and Taylor Neisen dating history
Exactly when the ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ actor and former Miss USA contestant (as Miss South Dakota) fell in love with each other is not known. However, following Schreiber’s split with Naomi Watts in 2016, Neisen was seen spending time with the Tony Award-winning actor and his two sons. In 2018, they went together on a vacation in Costa Rica as well.
From 2019 onwards, they have been pictured walking their dog in the streets of New York, their place of residence.
Schreiber, whose Instagram is filled with his activism and charity work, wished Taylor, whom he lovingly calls TayTay on her birthday in December, “Happy Birthday Taytay!!! All the critters are so happy you were born today! Most of all me”. His former partner Naomi Watts too wished Neisen on the post saying, “Happy birthday Tay!!”
‘Modern Family’
Since their split in 2016, Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts have been the epitome of a modern family as they have been co-parenting their two children amiably. "It is with great love, respect, and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship," said Schreiber and Watts in a joint statement to People in 2016.
In 2018, one year after their split, Schreiber said to Sunday Today, “It’s always hard, you know? You build a life with someone and things change,” before adding, “And I think the way that we’ve looked at it is that we’ll always be partners with these kids.” Schreiber maintained a friendly relationship with his ex as he said, “It’s important to support each other,” and elaborated, “I was making some jokes at breakfast about Mommy with the boys and their eyes light up when I talk about her. You can see how important it is to them that their parents care about each other.”
In June, the entire blended family, consisting of Schreiber and Neisen, and Watts with her current partner Billy Crudup, attended the middle school graduation ceremony of Kai. Watts posted on Instagram a happy picture of the family with the caption, “Congratulations to Kai Class of 2022” with the hashtags, “#modernfamily #graduation.”
