If Naomi won't reveal anything, Liev will! In an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien last evening, Liev Schreiber, 39, confirmed that he and Naomi Watts, 38, are expecting their first child, by saying, "Yes, I'm going to be a dad." No word on how far along Naomi is, or what they're having, but Liev did share some funny anecdotes.
Click continue reading for the highlights.
-The baby will not be named Liev - Liev says, "No, it's a terrible name. It's probably the most mis-pronounced name in all of show business. It's bad enough that I have gone through that for 15 years. There won't be any Liev juniors. It's not like George, you can call five kids George. You can't really call anyone Liev, you shouldn't call one child that, I don't think!"
-He refers to Naomi as his girlfriend, but it's believed that she's actually his fiancee - she's been wearing an engagement ring with the stone turned in as of late.
-Liev has tried to be helpful, but he says, "I'm trying to stay out of it all. I'm trying not to make any decisions, [because] everything that I try to do in service of her or the coming baby is wrong. So I really don't even go to my house much anymore."
- Liev mentions that since Naomi's been pregnant, she wants to go out all the time. Referring to her as a "party girl," he says he made fun of her for being excited to go to the Oscars, but she said, "No, no – it's a very auspicious thing that our embryo is going to be at the Oscars!"

Congratulations to Liev and Naomi.
I think they are such a cute couple, and am looking forward to hearing about what sex the baby is and the name, when it's born!
Congratulations to Naomi and Liev!
I want to say how happy I am for Naomi and Liev.
Wow, congrats to them! I thought Naomi looked wonderful in her Oscar gown...
I'm very happy for them, especially Naomi. I know she's wanted to have a baby for quite a while, and to see her dream finally coming true is fantastic. Best of luck for a happy, healthy pregnancy and new baby! I bet they have a girl!
They are such a cute couple and I am so excited for them!
It was such a surprise to see him talk about it on Conan! I'm very happy for them, particularly for Naomi who wanted a baby "since she was 19".. I'm thinking they're having a girl first, like the other actresses born on Sept. 28--Mira Sorvino and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Wow! I knew it! look at that belly!
Fantastic news!!! Anyone have a link to liev's video clip on conan?
I knew it. She looked SO BEAUTIFUL at the Academy Awards. I loved that dress. :) YAY!!!
I am sure they'll have a beautiful baby!Congrats!I hope Naomi won't be persecuted by the paps!
their baby will be so beautiful!! I am so happy for them!
I hear that she's 5 months along already.
She looks great and it's wonderful to finally have confirmation. And Liev, well, I love his sense of humor. Seems he's been trying to be the dutiful boyfriend/man in her life, as much as she'll let him, it seems.
Good luck to them! :)
Congrats to them. She looks absolutely radiant!
