And after vowing to always support him, Naomi Watts was true to her word when she encouraged her Instagram fans to watch him in the new release, Chuck.
Sharing a picture of the film's '70s style poster, which features Liev in a boxing pose, the 48-year-old gave the movie a glowing review.
She wrote: 'Why not make it a double bill this weekend and travel back to the 1970s to watch @lievschreiber as Chuck Wepner wrestling a bear!'
Chuck is based on the life and career of boxing champion Chuck Wepner. Naomi also appears in the film.
Naomi and Liev, 49, separated in September. Their relationship was long considered to be one of the most stable in Hollywood.
In a joint statement, they said: '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.'
In November, the King Kong actress told Entertainment Tonight things have remained cordial between the former couple.
'He's the father of my kids,' Naomi said. 'So it was important to support him.'
The New York-based pair are proud parents to two sons - Samuel Kai, eight, and Alexander Pete, nine.
Last year, Naomi told The Daily Telegraph that she is moving forward and is focusing on her children.
'I feel I'm in a good place in my life and I want to make sure my kids are healthy, my kids are happy and things are going to go well. Those are my hopes for me and for all of us.'
