Naomi and Liev called it quits after 11 years together, announcing the news back in September.

“I feel I’m in a good place in my life and I want to make sure my kids are healthy, my kids are happy and thing are going to go well,” she revealed.

“Those are my hopes for me and for all of us.”

When asked about her attitude to being single again after 11 years in a relationship, the star was similarly cool, calm and collected.

“I feel like change is always scary, but that’s only because transition for anyone is new and you wonder how things are going to go.”

Naomi and Liev began dating in 2005 after meeting on the set of the romantic drama The Painted Veil. In September this year, they released a joint statement confirming they had separated.

“Over the past few months we’ve come to the conclusion that the best way forward for us as a family is to separate as a couple. 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,” they said at the time.

Since then, the two stars have maintained a friendly relationship and posted warm birthday messages to each other on social media.

Earlier this month, Naomi also attended the opening night performance of Liev’s Broadway play Les Liaisons Dangereuses in a show of support.
