Naomi Watts reveals her surprising relationship with former co-star Simon Baker: 'I love you so much!'

As a long-time observer of the dynamic world of Hollywood, I find it heartwarming to witness such strong bonds of friendship and family connections within the industry. The story of Naomi Watts and Simon Baker, their friendship spanning over two decades since working together on “The Ring Two,” is a testament to the power of shared experiences and mutual respect.


Naomi Watts has revealed her surprising family connection to Simon Baker.

On a typical Thursday, I proudly shared a heartwarming snapshot of Stella Baker, daughter of my esteemed colleague Simon, through my personal Instagram stories – all the way from Australia.

As a seasoned observer of human relationships, I find it heartwarming to see photos like the one of Stella, who is 31 and beaming with joy alongside her friends at a restaurant. The caption penned by Naomi, her godmother, makes the image even more touching: ‘Happy birthday to my wildly clever and talented goddaughter, Stella Baker. I love you so much.’ This heartfelt message speaks volumes about their bond, which seems to be rooted in mutual respect and admiration.

In my latest Instagram post, I’ve shared a heartwarming throwback photo featuring Stella, my precious goddaughter. This charming snapshot takes us back to when she was just a little one.

‘Baby girl! Happy birthday!’ she wrote once again.

Since their collaboration on The Ring Two in 2005, Naomi and Simon have remained close friends, sharing memories on joint family vacations.

Nicole Kidman is also godmother to one of Simon’s three children.

Stella follows in her father’s footsteps as an actor, gaining recognition much like him for his starring role on the TV show The Mentalist.

In 2014, Sarah made a guest appearance on her father’s TV series. Later, in 2021, she played the lead role in the CW drama titled “The Republic of Sarah,” but unfortunately, this show only had one season before it got cancelled.

As a dedicated follower, I found my passion igniting for the allure of stage shows, and following the guidance of my father, I embarked on a path toward a career in the vibrant world of Hollywood.

She shared with 9Entertainment: “My dad once told me, ‘If you’re content with acting in theater without pay for the rest of your career, which is usually the case for most actors, then that’s wonderful, and we wholeheartedly encourage you. If you manage to get lucky along the way, consider it a bonus.'”

‘So far I have been lucky, but I would be happy to do anything because I just love it.’

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but sing praises about the incredible Simon. But beyond his stellar acting career, what truly captivates me is his heartfelt admiration for Stella and his two luminous boys, Claude and Harry. To him, they are not just his sons; they are his utmost source of pride and joy.

Simon married Rebecca Rigg, Stella’s mother, in 1998 before separating in 2022.

In an interview with GQ, the actor shared that his wife and family have been the hidden factors behind his triumph in La La Land. He was 24 years old when their daughter Stella was born.

When we reached the U.S., I already had a child and obligations. This perspective led me to define success as the ability to support my family, which I shared with GQ Australia in 2015.

To accomplish our goals, it was necessary for me to consistently give strong performances, maintain a high level of professionalism both during filming and off-set… my personal circumstances have always required selflessness, which has undoubtedly played a role in our achievements in America.
