Over the summer, Wattsshared a fun video on her Instagram Storiesof her daughterKaiperforming an impromptu dance with a friend to some beautiful live music in Paris.

In the video, Watts, who appeared to be filming, walked through the French capital at night, and captured a street musician playing the violin amid the old buildings. She then panned the camera to show Kai and a friend. The teen — who wore a black cropped t-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers — and a pal held each other’s arms as they spun around in a circle while the musician played.

Watts then turned the camera back to the violinist as she walked past him, and then back to Kai who was jogging, apparently to catch up with the group, as they approached an archway.

“Evenings in Paris,” Watts captioned the atmospheric video.

In April, Wattsbrought Kai along with heras she attended the Dior pre-fall show at the Brooklyn Museum in Brooklyn, New York.

Wearing a long white dress, the proud mom held hands with Kai, who wore a white pleated skirt printed with red flowers and butterflies along with a matching sweater.

Both Watts and Kai wore their matching blonde hair down and straight, sitting next to each other as they sat front row for the event.
