"Having said that, USC is gonna get one of the deepest, kindest, bravest and most beautiful boys I have ever known."

Schreiber pushed back against claims his children were nepo babies after his daughter with Watts, Kai, made her modeling debut.
"I don't have many thoughts for the haters," he told TMZ in March.
"I'm gonna put it to you like this: What if you were a professional actor and your child decided they wanted to do something in this world. Do they have the choice of what you did?"
