Naomi Watts looked every bit the blissful newlywed as she strolled through New York City with her dog this Wednesday, fresh from her second wedding to Billy Crudup in Mexico.
The 55-year-old actress wore a laid-back ensemble of a white t-shirt, light blue jeans, and Adidas sneakers, topped off with brown sunglasses and a beige purse. She carried a water bottle and had her AirPods in as she smiled softly for the camera, her dog trotting alongside her.
Naomi and Billy, also 55, recently returned from their romantic honeymoon in Tulum, Mexico. The couple, who first tied the knot at a New York City courthouse last June, chose to celebrate their one-year anniversary with a beachside ceremony in Mexico City. Naomi’s brother, Ben Watts, confirmed the joyous occasion by sharing a heartwarming video of the newlyweds in an elevator, featuring Naomi in a white gown holding a bouquet and Billy in a dark suit. In attendance were Naomi’s children, Kai, 15, and Sasha, 16, as well as Billy’s son William, 20. The video captures the family smiling and waving as the elevator doors close, with the caption, ‘Off they go Naomi x Billy x family #benwatts #scrapbooking,’ set to Frank Sinatra’s ‘Love and Marriage.’
The celebrations included a welcome party where an adorable shot captured Naomi and Billy holding hands and watching someone off-camera. Naomi shared this on Instagram with the caption ‘Love is alive and well.’ During the welcome party, Ben also posted a clip of Naomi’s heartfelt speech to the guests: ‘This is a reminder of what life’s about. The affirmation of love being one of the simplest things, but the most important.’
Naomi first announced their initial nuptials last summer with a charming photo of the couple standing in front of the Manhattan courthouse, simply captioned ‘Hitched!’ On a January 2023 appearance on ‘Live with Kelly and Mark,’ Naomi revealed the intimate details of their first wedding. ‘Nothing was planned because we wanted to keep it low-key,’ she confessed, adding that she bought her flowers from a corner bodega. She emphasized that finding her perfect half later in life made it special. ‘It’s never too late,’ she told hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos.
Since their wedding, Naomi has frequently expressed her adoration for Billy. She recently posted a photo of Billy on a theater stage in London, praising his performance in a nine-week masterclass. ‘Last weekend of @harryclarketheplay… To those that saw this performance, I’m sure you’ll agree it was a mind-blowing experience,’ she wrote, encouraging others to catch his show in the future. Naomi even got a shoutout from fellow actress Julianne Moore, who showed her support in the comments with clapping emojis.
Naomi has also spoken about Billy’s role on ‘The Morning Show’ with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Praising his work, she exclaimed, ‘It’s exquisite. It’s muscular. [His character] is a snake and so charming and lovely and then just snakes you. He is so fun to watch.’
The second wedding ceremony wasn’t just an isolated celebration but a continuation of their love story that started late in their lives but seems to burn brightly. With friends like Nicole Kidman attending and sharing sweet moments online, it’s clear that Naomi and Billy are surrounded by a supportive and loving community.
If Naomi’s radiant smile while walking her dog in New York is any indication, her second nuptials to Billy Crudup have only added to her happiness. As the couple enjoys this new chapter, fans and friends alike are eagerly watching their love story unfold.
