Watts and Schreiber were together from 2005 to 2016. Since then, they have maintained a friendly relationship and often met to celebrate their two children, Sasha and Kai.
Kidman and Watts have been friends for more than 30 years. When she presented Kidman with the AFI Life Achievement Award in April, Watts said the two met in the 1980s while auditioning for a swimsuit commercial.
While they waited to find out who got the part, they chatted. “We talked about everything: what movies we liked, what friends we had in common, our parents, schools, parties, boyfriends, teenage stuff,” Watts recalled.
When they were told they could leave because they hadn’t gotten the role, Kidman offered to pay for a taxi ride home for Watts, who had missed the bus. She called Kidman “the most generous person.”
“She opened her homes to me. She made me feel like part of her family. She was like the sister I never had,” Watts added.
The friends appeared together in the film Flirt in 1991 and have been close friends ever since. Watts wished “Queen” Kidman a happy birthday on June 20. Meanwhile, Kidman attended Watts’ “funny, beautiful” and “deeply unforgettable” wedding to Billy Crudup in June.
