Actress Naomi Watts is handling her split from Liev Schreiber just fine. And in fact, she's not looking for love elsewhere anytime soon!

"She’s not seeing anyone special," an insider told Closer Weekly in a new exclusive interview about Naomi's new life. "She’s not obsessed with finding someone. When it happens, it happens."

The couple called it quits after 11 years together in late September 2016. "Over the past few months, we've come to the conclusion that the best way forward for us as a family is to separate as a couple. It is with great love, respect, and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship," the duo said in a joint statement at the time. "While we appreciate your curiosity and support, we ask the press to be mindful of our children and respect their right to privacy."

The former pair — who never married — is parents to two sons, Alexander, 9, and Samuel, 8. "We're parents together so we’ll be together for the rest of our lives no matter what and we’re very close. Hopefully, that never changes and I don’t think it will," the Ray Donovan star said in a recent interview.

And now that she's a single mom, Naomi is making her boys her number one priority. "She wrote me after the show wrapped and told me how happy she is to be at home with her boys," her Gypsy co-star Brenda Vaccaro told Closer. "She loves to read to them and cook for them — she’s such a wonderful mom."
