Yesterday was a big day for those who haven’t been keeping up with the dating lives of Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup and thought he was still with Claire Danes and she was still with Liev Schreiber. Naomi Watts confirmed that she and her man Billy Crudup made it legal in a Manhattan courthouse wedding.
Naomi and Billy, both 54, became a thing in 2017 when they worked together on the Netflix show Gypsy. On Friday, Page Six posted pap pictures of Naomi and Billy going into their NYC apartment building while wearing ensembles that either proved they just got married or are into casual wedding cosplay. It was the first one. Yesterday, Naomi posted the above picture on her Instagram with the caption: Hitched! . I know, ruining a six-year relationship by getting married?! But seriously, that’s a better way to destroy a relationship than cheating on your pregnant partner!
This marriage is both Naomi’s and Billy’s first. Billy shares a 19-year-old son, William Atticus Parker, with Mary-Louise Parker. Billy and Mary-Louise, of course, broke up in 2003 after he left her for Claire Danes when she was seven months pregnant. Billy and Claire broke up a few years later. Naomi shares two children, 14-year-old Kai and 15-year-old Sasha, with Liev Schreiber. Naomi and Liev split in 2016.
For her wedding to Billy, Naomi brought the casual bridal beauty (well, casual for a richie) in an Oscar de La Renta dress. And her bouquet was courtesy of a deli.
Many celebrities, like Michelle Pfeiffer, Jennifer Coolidge, Julianne Moore, Goopy Paltrow, Justin Theroux, and Naomi’s ex Liev, slid into her IG comment section to congratulate her and Billy. And Andy Cohen also decided to let us know that this wedding may not have ever happened if it wasn’t for him.
Congrats to Naomi and Billy. And also, congrats to Andy Cohen for finding yet another way to make something about him!
