Watts and Crudup embark on a new challenge.
About a year ago, Naomi Watts, an Australian actress known for her role in "King Kong," and her husband, Billy Crudup, an American actor, secretly tied the knot in a civil ceremony held in New York. Now, they've opted for a more extravagant celebration, renewing their vows in a beach ceremony in Mexico.
Couples that love twice: That's what we can infer from Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup's romantic journey. One year ago, these two Hollywood stars formally declared their love for each other in a civil ceremony in New York. But they weren't satisfied with just that - they wanted to renew their vows with a more intimate and beautiful ceremony, and they chose a location by the beach in Mexico for the same.
Ben Watts, Naomi's brother, was kind enough to share some photos and videos from the event on his Instagram account, showcasing the breathtaking scenery and the happy couple. Naomi wore a simple, white, sleeveless dress, while Billy looked dapper in a timeless black tuxedo.
The couple met and fell in love during the filming of the Netflix show "Gypsy" in 2017. It seems like their love has only grown stronger since then. In the photos shared by Ben Watts, their two children, Sasha (16) and Kai (15), who are from Naomi's previous relationship with Liev Schreiber, were present at the event. In addition to them, Billy's 20-year-old son, William, from his partnership with Mary-Louise Parker, was also present. It's not clear if Liev was also a guest.
The ex-couple, despite their separation in 2016 after 11 years together, share a cordial relationship, so much so that Naomi has spoken of their "absolute commitment to being good and friendly to each other," making it a priority to "make it work" for the sake of their children. She expressed this in a heartwarming interview in August 2019.
The day before the wedding, Ben Watts also shared some videos of the rehearsal, where several prominent guests mingled and had a fantastic time. Nicole Kidman and Justin Theroux, ex-husband of Jennifer Aniston, were among the guests. During this rehearsal, Naomi wore a lovely yellow flower dress, and in one video, she's seen holding Billy's hand while watching him deliver a speech. "This is what life is about. The confirmation of love is one of the simplest, but most important things," she said. And she couldn't have been more right.
