For the very first time, Kai Schreiber, the 16-year-old transgender daughter of actors Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, is opening up about her life, her passions, and her future. While many teenagers her age are still figuring things out, Kai is crystal clear about her path:

“I want to be a supermodel. Period.”

She revealed this with confidence in her debut interview with Interview Magazine.

Paris Runway Beginnings

Kai is already on her way. In March, she made her catwalk debut at Paris Fashion Week, walking for Valentino. But this wasn’t a sudden decision modeling has been her dream for as long as she can remember. As a child, Kai would often put on princess costumes, long before she knew exactly how to define herself.

Family Support at Every Step

Her parents have supported her journey with love and understanding. Liev Schreiber recently spoke about Kai’s identity, emphasizing that there was never a dramatic “coming out.”

“Kai was always very feminine. She’s a fighter bold, passionate, and open. It’s important that she says: hey, I’m trans, look at me.”

Naomi Watts, now married to actor Billy Crudup, has been equally vocal in her pride. After Kai’s first runway, she gushed:

“I squealed with pride.”

A Teenager With Big Dreams

Despite her rising fashion career, Kai is still navigating normal teenage milestones. She’s working toward her driver’s license—though she admits city driving sounds terrifying—and finishing up school, even if academics aren’t her strong suit.

“I’m not the best student,” she laughed, admitting she often shows up late. “Girls like to sleep.” Like most teens, she has her obsessions: Billie Eilish, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and Natalie Portman’s Black Swan.

Practicing for the Spotlight

Kai shared that she spent years rehearsing her walk at home.

“I practiced my catwalks in the kitchen for years. My mom filmed all of it.”

Her inspirations are bold and glamorous. “I always wanted to be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman like Marilyn Monroe.”

The Next Generation of Supermodel

Kai Schreiber is at the very beginning of her journey, but with her confidence, passion, and the unwavering support of her family, she’s already standing tall. For her, the dream isn’t just about modeling clothes it’s about becoming a voice and an image of authenticity in an industry that thrives on reinvention.
