while talking Interview MagazineThe rising star revealed that she ‘always wanted to grow up and become a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman like Marilyn Monroe.’
Additionally, she praised stars like Alex Consani, Hunter Schafer, Hari Nef, Dara, Richie Shazam, and Colin Jones for inspiring her to navigate life “as a young trans girl” during society’s turbulent times.
Kai told the magazine: ‘I will always respect the older generation of transgender people, especially in the field of fashion. ‘It’s great that we have a strong community in the fashion world; It’s really a doll takeover.’
The second-generation star said she had a breakthrough while working at fashion house Valentino earlier this year.
‘This job made me realize: “Okay, this is what I want to do. I want to be a supermodel.” Period.’
Kai also opened up about what he’s been doing to improve his craft, which continues his regular presence on the catwalk.
‘I have been rehearsing walks in the kitchen for years; “My mom can show you all the videos I forced her to take,” Kai said.

Kai also shared her fashion preferences in a wide-ranging chat with the outlet; joking “simply but stylishly.”
‘I love my low rise jeans and black cardigan. This is my go-to outfit. “I like people to have their own personal style,” he said. ‘If you present yourself in a unique and cool way, people are immediately intrigued and want to learn more. ‘If everyone walked around wearing the same clothes, there would be no such thing as fashion.’
In May, her father praised his daughter for coming out as transgender.
‘Kai was always who Kai was. But I think the most profound moment was when he asked us to change his pronouns,” Liev told Variety.
‘Honestly, it doesn’t seem like such a big deal to me that Kai has been this feminine for so long.’
In May, his father praised him for his strength and courage, calling him “such a warrior” (seen in 2025)

Schreiber also applauded the young man’s strength and courage and said: ‘Kai is a true warrior. ‘It’s important to say ‘Hey, I’m trans’, ‘Look at me’ and ‘Fuck you, fuck you’.’
As for his advice to parents of children who come out as trans, Liev said simply: ‘I don’t know the answer for your child.’
He also explained that he felt it was an ‘excessive step’ for him to do this because each situation is unique and different.
However, the actor spoke briefly about raising teenagers in general, saying: ‘I guess if there’s one thing I would say to someone who’s having trouble with their trans teenager or their teenage trans child, it’s, ‘Young people are a pain in the neck.’ “They’ll force it.”
‘It doesn’t matter if they’re trans or not because you’ll get out of this. But a trans youth will be a youth.’
The Perfect Couple star continued: ‘They’re a pain in the ass most of the time and Kai is feisty and outspoken as always.’
Besides Kai, Liev and Watts, who separated in 2016, they have a 17-year-old son named Sasha.
