Close to her heart! Naomi Watts hugs a pillow printed with a picture of son Samuel while out in NYC

Naomi Watts leads a jetset lifestyle, so she's frequently away from her brood.

But it seems the 47-year-old actress has found a way to keep her boys close to heart.

The King Kong star was spotted with a personalised pillow - of what appeared to be her youngest son Samuel - as she and her pet pooch stepped out in New York City on Friday.

The doting mother looked to be in high spirits, holding the bedding in one hand and her tiny dog in the other.

Naomi stood out in a vibrant plaid blouse which she layered with a black velour blazer.

The mother-of-two was also clad in skinny jeans and well-worn looking brown mid-calf boots.

Her blonde above-the-shoulder locks were flowing down, as her eyes were concealed with aviator shades.

Naomi showed off her natural beauty, as she went make-up free for her run around town.

On Monday, she was spotted making a school run with her nearly identical blond sons Sasha, eight, and Samuel, six.

The British-born Australian actress and her American partner Liev, 47, live in New York with their children but are often on the move thanks to their busy work schedules. 

Naomi is now gearing up for her next silver screen roles, including the drama Demolition and the psychologically thriller Shut, both scheduled for release in 2016.

She is also currently filming The Divergent Series: Allegiant, with the next Divergent installment set to follow.
