There was a story earlier in the month that Naomi Watts is pregnant with her second child with longterm partner, Liev Schreiber. US Weekly reported that she was in her second trimester but didn’t cite a source and there was no confirmation from her reps. Watts looked a little pregnant in recent pictures but her top was blowing out and it was hard to tell. New photos have come out showing the 39 year-old Australian actress looking undeniably pregnant, so we can assume the news is true. She has also been wearing what looks like an engagement ring on her left hand.

Watts has a recent interview with UK Newspaper The Times in which she refused to comment on whether she was pregnant or not, but the article mentions as an aside that her publicist did confirm her pregnancy. As for whether she’s planning to get married, Watts said “I never say never, but I’m not desperate to get married. I’m not someone who has always dreamt of a wedding day. I’m more disbelieving.”

Congratulations to Naomi and Liev! They also have son Alexander Peter, who turned one last Friday.

I love Watt’s dress and she looks so casually chic in that outfit.

US Weekly is reporting that Naomi Watts is pregnant and that she’s in her second trimester. They just say she’s expecting but that her rep didn’t confirm it, and they don’t even mention a source. It’s possible they’re judging based on recent pictures, it’s hard to tell:

Naomi Watts, 39, has entered her second trimester with her second baby, Us Weekly reports in its newest issue, on newsstands now.

But don’t expect a huge announcement: When she was pregnant last year with her first child, her beau, Liev Schreiber, 40, didn’t confirm it until he casually told Conan O’Brien, “Yes, I’m going to be a dad.”

The couple — who met on the set of the 2006 drama The Painted Veil and have homes in NYC and L.A. — welcomed son Alexander in July 2007…

Watts’ rep tells Us she doesn’t comment on her client’s personal life.

Over the weekend Watts was photographed wearing what looked like an engagement ring. Right before her first child, Alexander, now one, was born, Her boyfriend Liev Schreiber told the press that they were engaged. He later claimed that he was joking and many people thought it was cruel that he said it in the first place. It sounded to me like he really wanted to be engaged but that they made a decision to either wait or keep it private.

If this is true, congratulations to Watts and Schreiber. They’ve very admirably tried to keep their personal life private. Naomi let the paparazzi take the first photos of Alexander and chose not to cash in with a valuable magazine spread. These two are sure to try and keep their wedding quiet if this is true and I wonder if they’re planning to marry before the maybe-baby arrives.

Naomi Watts is shown on 6/27/08 in the belted dress and on 6/25/08 out with Liev and Alexander. She is also shown with Alexander on 6/28/08, and you can clearly see her gorgeous ring. She does look like she’s pregnant but it’s hard to tell with what she’s wearing.

On Sunday Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber, their son Alexander Pete Schreiber, who will be four weeks old on Wednesday, and their nanny went out for lunch at Malibu restaurant Taverna Tony’s. They looked kind of annoyed going into the restaurant, but then at some point before they left Liev came out by himself and went off on the paparazzi, chasing one guy to his car and hitting it. Naomi then came out and tried to calm Liev down. It seems like word got around that Liev and Naomi were there with their newborn son and the photographers started gathering outside while they were eating, annoying Liev, who is probably sleep deprived and at the end of his rope. It’s hard enough to go out with a new baby without having to deal with hoards of paparazzi.

The cops were called to try and stave off the photographers, but because it was a public street there was nothing they could do. As they left Naomi and Liev looked super annoyed and Naomi even flipped off photographers. Here are the descriptions of the photo sets from Splash News:

Naomi Watts and boyfriend Liev Schreiber arrive at Taverna Tony’s Restaurant in Malibu with new baby Alexander Pete in tow. Liev seems to be finished with giving the paparazzi shots of the baby as he went ballistic, chasing and assaulting the photographers. Naomi had to come out of the restaurant to retrieve Liev and stop him from his rampage.

Liev Schreiber, fiance of Naomi Watts, loses his cool as photographers take pictures of him and his family on a busy Malibu street. The actor raced into the middle of the road, hit a photographer’s car and chased one snapper away. The new Dad had arrived at popular restaurant Taverna Tony’s with his new son and Naomi before chasing the media away. The police were later called but could not help Schreiber as the snappers were on a public street.

We went out for sushi with my son when he was four weeks old. Newborns sleep a lot and we had a window of maybe an hour when we could enjoy our meal. Then my son woke up and we had to get out of there and make sure he was fed and happy. It was stressful in that we kept worrying that he would wake up and we would have to leave. We didn’t have anyone with us to help out, though.

This was probably the first time Liev and Naomi have been out with their son for dinner and you can see how Liev would get annoyed. Maybe they feel like prisoners in their beautiful home considering how much photographers must stalk them. You can tell they weren’t expecting it either, because they’re not dressed up or anything.

Still, Liev should work on his temper and on coming up with ways to foil photographers, like using decoy cars or driving farther out of town. If you’re a celebrity and you want to live near Hollywood, and go out to eat or shop there you can forget about having any kind of privacy, especially when you have a beautiful new baby.

Naomi was also seen out earlier on Sunday strolling along the beach with friends in Malibu, where she attended a small get together at Jon Favreau’s beach house. It’s unknown if Liev or little Alexander were there with her as there are no pictures of them.

Unlike Britney Spears or Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who kept their latest respective babies under wraps for months, Naomi Watts and her beau Liev Schrieber were not afraid to let their newborn son be photographed. Two week old Alexander Pete Schreiber was seen with a smiling and happy Naomi and Liev out on a trip to the post office on Friday.

As two star parents, they can earn a million or more for exclusive photos of the tot, but they seemed happy and comfortable to give the paparazzi a glimpse ahead of any photo spread they might have planned. You have to respect that, and it’s refreshingly normal.

Commentors on I’m Not Obsessed note that Naomi looks great and that she must have been “all baby.”

On Saturday Naomi and Liev hung out with expectant couple Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fischer. Sacha and Liev worked out together and were seen hitting up a sporting goods store ahead of time. Naomi and Isla were said to be back at the house, “cooking for the boys.” [Details from Splash News. The pictures aren’t that great, but here’s one of Sacha and Liev at the store.]

None of the photo agencies we subscribe to have the pictures of little Alexander. You can see the photos at Celebrity Baby Blog and I’m Not Obsessed. Given how open Liev and Naomi were in showing their baby, there are sure to be more photos of the cutie sometime this week.

Here are Liev and Sacha shopping at that sporting goods store on Saturday.

Naomi Watts had a baby boy Wednesday at 3:59 p.m. in Los Angeles. Alexander Pete Schreiber weighed in at 8lb, 4oz, and 22 1/2 inches long. He is the first child for Watts, 38, and her boyfriend Liev Schreiber, 39.

While most everyone assumed she was past her due date, Life & Style quotes an insider who says that the baby was actually early:

“Naomi was planning on giving birth next week– her due date was early August — but since she insisted on delivering naturally, she knew there was a chance she would have the baby before the due date. That’s what wound up happening.”

[Life & Style]

Naomi’s rep say they’re “doing great” and that the new parents are “ecstatic.” Congratulations to Naomi and Liev, that’s great news and we can’t wait to see their new arrival!

Naomi Watts looks like she’s ready to have her baby any day now. I was big like that, although I was a lot heavier than she is while in the late stages of pregnancy, and my son was two weeks late and weighed almost nine pounds. Her boyfriend Liev Schreiber said they don’t want to know the sex of their baby and that they want to wait to find out until the birth.

Is it a decent guess to say she’s having a boy because she’s big or is it hard to tell? I had one waiter tell me he could tell I was having a boy because my face had changed or something. I think that was a nice way of saying I was fat.

Stars don’t let the world know exactly when they’re due because they want some privacy. I wish I had kept my due date a secret too since people bugged me a lot in the 14 days I waited for my son to arrive after he was due. Due dates are just an estimation, and from what I remember reading first babies are often “late.”

Naomi was seen out with a friend in West Hollywood yesterday. Thanks to Splash News for these pictures.

I was calling Naomi Watts pregnant after last year’s Oscars so it’s hard to tell with her, but reader Millie pointed out to me that she’s wearing loose dresses lately and that her boobs are getting big. Things seem to be going well with her boyfriend Liev Schreiber, and Naomi has made no secret of the fact that she wants to start a family. Could she be pregnant? Well, she could. There definitely seems to be something going on under that dress. She could also just be favoring loose dresses, so we’ll have to see.

Naomi is shown at the MontBlanc night of stars on Friday, February 2 in Chamonix, France. She is also seen in a blue dress at the Golden Globes on January 15th, where she is posing a bit defensively with her clutch held over her stomach.

Naomi Watts doesn’t look even a little bit pregnant - or bloated for that matter, in a bikini off the coast of Italy. Before I’m accused of nitpicking, I’m mentioning this because Naomi was rumored to be pregnant a few weeks ago, which can be attributed to all the loose tops she’s been wearing and certainly not her figure. She is in Ischia, Italy with her boyfriend of over a year, actor Liev Schreiber, for the Global Film Festival.

Both sets of pictures of her in a bikini and on a private yacht are said to be from 7/16.

Naomi Watts, 37, is now on pregnancy watch, and it’s largely due to the loose tops and ill-fitting dresses she’s worn out to recent events. She’s been on pregnancy watch since wearing two different frilly dresses with tummy coverage to the Oscars. We were even declaring her pregnant after she wore a poncho to the Tribeca film festival in late April.

Then we saw some high-res photos of Naomi in a sheer, but loose top in mid-May. You could see her stomach through it and it was flat.

Watts may just be wearing loose tops because they’re in style. Reese Witherspoon was called pregnant after she was seen in some loose clothing and it turns out that wasn’t true at all.

Watts has made some comments that she’d like to start a family, though, and Australian reports have her pregnant already:

If she is pregnant it’s very soon along. She was photographed playing tennis on June 18th. Her top was pulling up and she did not have a stomach, although it’s a little hard to tell. She was seen at the MacBeth In The Park 2006 Summer Benefit on June 28th in an empire-waist dress, which surely helped feed the rumors.

We really doubt it’s true, although we hope it happens soon for her and Liev if they are indeed trying.

Here is Naomi in the photos we mentioned. She is seen with her boyfriend of over a year, actor Liev Schreiber, 38, and with Jessica Lang. Reader Millie let me know that Lang was not gracious about the latest remake of “King Kong” after having starred in the other remake from 1976. She said she wouldn’t be seeing Peter Jackson’s version of “King Kong” and considered it too commercial.

Liev Screiber, Julia Stiles, and Mia Farrow star in “The Omen,” a remake of the 1976 horor film about a little kid who’s the devil incarnate.

Here’s the trailer: warning

This looks creepy as hell and you couldn’t pay me to see this. (Unless it was three figures, then I’d go and cover my eyes.)

At the screening of “The Omen” last night in NY, Watts is wearing a loose-fitting dress, but I don’t think she’s pregnant unless it’s early on. In some HQ photographs that came out a couple of weeks ago you can see her stomach through a sheer top and it’s flat.

“The Omen” comes out, predictably, on 6/6/06.

Also shown are Julia Stiles, Mia Farrow, and creepy little Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick.
