Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup Get Married in Manhattan Courthouse

The best part of Watts’s Instagram announcement is that, at least as how the algorithm serves it to me, the top response comes from Watts’s former partner of many years, Liev Schreiber, who wrote “Congratulations!!! Gorgeous!!!” The two actors co-parent two sons. Is it weird to get misty-eyed about social media posts from two people you don’t actually know in real life? Don’t answer that!

Crudup and his former partner Mary-Louise Parker also have a son, who is 19. This is both Watts and Crudup’s first marriage. 

Other digital well-wishers included Julianne Moore (she wrote “FINALLY!!!!”), Isla Fisher, Andy Cohen, Jennifer Coolidge, Mia Farrow, Lily Rabe, Kate Bosworth, Liv Tyler, Sarah Silverman, Julianna Margulies, Michelle Pfeiffer, Octavia Spencer, Chloë Sevigny, Justin Theroux, Lucy Boynton, Melanie Lynskey, Teresa Palmer, and, perhaps most importantly, writer and producer Lisa Rubin. Why most importantly? Because it was on her television series Gypsy, released on Netflix in 2017, where Watts and Crudup first met. She deserves ten percent of the deal!

After the ceremony, Watts and Crudup raised a glass with two other couples—Mark Ruffalo and Sunrise Cougney, and Josh Hamilton and Lily Thorne.
