Schreiber keeps quiet over engagement rumours

Hollywood star Live Schreiber refused to comment on rumours he has proposed to girlfriend Naomi Watts, insisting he doesn't discuss his private life with the media.

The couple started dating in April after they met at the New York's Museum Of Modern Art's Costume Institute Gala and have recently been at the centre of engagement and pregnancy rumours.

The Scream actor, 38, and King Kong beauty, 37, are on holidays with Watts' mother Miv and brother Ben in Sydney.

When asked by the Sydney Telegraph newspaper if the pair were engaged, Schreiber said: "We don't discuss that with anybody.

"It's strange - well for me anyway - to be inundated with all this attention, and as a couple we have to struggle to keep our personal life personal."

The couple are due to fly to Beijing, China later this month to film The Painted Veil together.
