The chemistry between Naomi and Billy is undeniable, and their love story began in 2017 when they met on the set of the Netflix series Gypsy. After making their first red carpet debut together in 2022, they decided to take the plunge and get married in New York. Now, they're living their best lives, supporting each other's careers, and still going strong!

But what caught our attention was Naomi's recent social media posts, where she shared photos of her ex-partner, Liev Schreiber, and their 18-year-old son, Sasha, as they sent him off to college. The 56-year-old actress posted snaps of the trio enjoying a meal together, captioning it "Here we go...." It seems like Naomi and Liev are still on good terms, despite their split nearly nine years ago.

The Mulholland Driver star went on to marry Billy in June 2023, while Liev married Taylor Neisen just a few months later. It's clear that both women have moved on with their lives, but it's lovely to see them maintaining a positive relationship for the sake of their children.

It's clear that Naomi and Billy are ready to take on the world together, hand in hand, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this lovely couple!
