When longtime couple Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber announced they were going their separate ways last week, their joint statement said they were doing so with "great love, respect and friendship" — and now they're proving they really meant it.

Schreiber celebrated his 49th birthday on Tuesday, and Watts marked the occasion in a sweet and public way.

Watts shared an adorable family photo of the "Ray Donovan" star holding their two sons, Sasha, 9, and Samuel, 7. She added the caption, "Happy Birthday to this one!!" along with a few celebratory emoji.
