Naomi Watts Is Kinda, Sort Of, Pretty Much Apparently Pregnant (Again)

“Our” Naomi Watts is apparently expecting another child with her partner Liev Schreiber – I say “apparently” because the ever reliable Us Weekly has the “exclusive”, and any “exclusive” that doesn’t “exclusively” involve the words coming “exclusively” out of Naomi Watts’ mouth is to be taken with a fairly large grain of salt.

So, “exclusively”, here’s the word from the mag:

Us Weekly has the “exclusive”, saying Naomi Watts, 39, is four months pregnant. The couple’s first child, Alexander “Sasha” Pete, is 11 months old.

When she was pregnant last year with her first child, her partner, Schreiber, 40, didn’t confirm the news until he casually told Conan O’Brien, “Yes, I’m going to be a dad.”

Naomi’s rep told Us she doesn’t comment on her client’s personal life.

See? Your story is on shaky ground when even Confidential calls it an “exclusive” (i.e. with the sarcastic Clerks-esque inverted commas).

So, Defamer Australia tentatively congratulates the happy family, with the small print on the congratulations reading “These warm-hearted congratulations become null and void if Us Weekly’s exclusive turns out to be total rubbish”.

It’s only fair, really.
