Here's looking at you kid: The intensely private couple turn the lens on the paparazzi

"Both Naomi and Liev are intensely private people and wanted a very private, personal wedding," said a source close to the King Kong star.
"They decided relatively recently that they wanted to be married before the birth, in keeping with their traditional, family-centred backgrounds.
"Nothing's been confirmed, but they've discussed the possibility of having a far more lavish do in the wintertime, or even early next year, where everyone can let their hair down and toast their nuptials in style."
Miss Watts, who grew up in Shoreham in Kent and the Welsh island of Anglesey before moving to Australia at the age of 14, met Schreiber on the set of The Painted Veil.
In the film, based on Somerset Maugham's acclaimed novel, they play lovers.
Since getting together, the pair have been reluctant to give joint interviews and have refused to reveal the gender, or any possible names, of their baby.
Talking about her reluctance for fame, Miss Watts - who previously dated Australian star Heath Ledger - said: "All this stuff, the raised expectations, the impossibility of privacy, is still unknown to me. "I'm less familiar with it and it's kind of frightening."

Awww, they're such a great pair! I think that the baby will probably have reddish hair, given the combined complexions.

I had no idea she was 40! She looks great!!

Congrats to them.

**greysfang** · June 12th, 2007, 10:33 AM

And they managed to keep in quiet (take a note famewhores). Congrats to them.

**Lily** · June 12th, 2007, 11:03 AM

They seem like a nice pair. Both of them are talented, both are smart, and neither seems like a famewhore.

**KrisNine** · June 12th, 2007, 11:17 AM

They seem like a normal, down to earth couple. Or as normal and down to earth as you can be when you're both actors.

Congrats to them.

meh, I always thought she was really boring...o well

**kingcap72** · June 12th, 2007, 12:06 PM

I'm tempted to make a bunch of shotgun wedding jokes, but I won't. So, congrats to both of them.

I always thought he was attractive, in a quirky sort of way...

**teforde23** · June 12th, 2007, 04:15 PM

She bugs me so much. She thinks she's some big A lister even though she did like 2 good movies
He could do so much better. I guess she had to get knocked up for him to marry her.

**WitchHazelEyed** · June 12th, 2007, 04:35 PM

I love her. She was freaking gorgeous in "King Kong". Yay for them!

**sweetness** · June 12th, 2007, 04:35 PM

She looks really pretty there. Congrats to them!

She normally irritates me though-- the way she always has her mouth hanging open. I tried to watch The Ring and all I could focus on was that mouth. WTF, it's not like her teeth are huge or anything!

Umm, you obviously only look for major budget films. She's in quite a few good movies that never were 'mainstream'. Plus, whose to judge what they share 'between themselves'.

I just read this story is false.

At Sunday night's Tony Awards, when LIEV SCHREIBER was asked if there was a wedding in the future for him and longtime girlfriend NAOMI WATTS, he said, "We are married. You got it first. Break the story!"

But today his rep says the actor misspoke and was merely joking.

Liev and Naomi, who worked together on 2006's 'The Painted Veil,' are expecting their first child together in August. The couple say they don't know what the sex is and have not decided on names yet.
