Naomi Watts and son SashaWhile appearing on Live with Kelly and Mark on Monday, April 15, the dad of three shared, "They're amazing. Sasha and Kai, you know them. They love her. It's been really great."
"I just talked to Sasha, who's up at this terrific school in Vermont called The Mountain School, where he's taking care of animals, and he just said that he's bummed out because he's missing being with her," he told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos of his kids.
"And it's just, so sweet. My god. Such a sweetheart. And he did this little film for his class that he just sent me last night which was a short film. He made an adaptation of Doris Lessing's Through the Tunnel, which is basically about a kid who doesn't want to grow up because he loves being a kid so much."
"You know when your kids do things like that that just...you know, because they're such monsters 99% of the time. And then they do something so profoundly sweet and you're just like, 'Wow,' " the star joked.
