'Relationships are hard whether you're famous or not': Naomi Watts on her 11-year romance with Liev Schreiber

Naomi Watts spoke candidly about her 11 year relationship with actor Liev Schreiber in the spring fashion forward issue of Los Angeles Confidential.

The 47-year-old actress revealed: 'Relationships are hard whether you're famous or not. I don't know anyone who doesn't have to work on it. Being an actor doesn't change anything.'

The mother of two added: 'I'm sure it's the same if you're a doctor or a couple of lawyers. You have high-pressure jobs, lots of hours, stresses that come unexpectedly - and you have to figure out how to be present in the midst of it all.'

The British-born actress and her longtime love have starred in three films together, with the latest - The Bleeder - set to be released later this year.

The film, which will be released on March 18, is the second time she's playing the character; she joined the cast of the hit series in 2015 for Insurgent. 

The stunner spoke about her role to the magazine: 'It's something of a stretch but in terms of character, Evelyn is someone I can appreciate, she is a survivor and she's made the most of her experience despite a bunch of twists and setbacks.'

Naomi has been in the acting business for 30 years, with her first role in the film, For Love Alone in 1986.

Effortless: The starlet headed to E.A.T. restaurant for a meal in the casual ensemble while rocking wavy locks and pink lipstick

Although she's found success as an actress, her career path is not something she could have predicted.

She explained: 'This isn't the life I imagined. In many ways, it's far, far better, and yet I look at what's possible - I mean, look at Frances McDormand or Helen Mirren, or, come on, Meryl Streep - and I go, "okay, there's still a lot of room to grow and improve."'

Naomi was spotted on Friday in New York City during her promotional tour for Allegiant. 

The beauty sported loose fitting jeans, a white blouse, Adidas sneakers and a charcoal jacket to stay warm.
