Australian Actress Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup Tie the Knot in a Private Ceremony
Australian movie star Naomi Watts has announced her marriage to fellow actor Billy Crudup. The 54-year old Oscar-nominated actress shared the news on Instagram on September 4, 2021. She posted a photo of them outside a New York City courthouse, dressed beautifully for their low-key wedding ceremony.
The Secret Wedding Ceremony
The celebrity couple kept their wedding plans hush-hush, with no prior announcement to their fans and media. A day before their Instagram post, Naomi and Billy were spotted wearing wedding attire and simple bands on their fingers while walking around New York City.
In the photo posted on Instagram, Naomi wore a white Oscar de la Renta Sweetheart Water Lilly Guipure dress and held a white bouquet of flowers, while Billy looked elegant in his navy-blue suit with his hair neatly combed.
Congratulations from Fellow Celebrities
After Naomi’s Instagram post, their fans and celebrity friends sent their wishes and love for their happy married life. Some actors like Jennifer Coolidge and Gwyneth Paltrow expressed their happiness and congratulations on social media. “Hooray! Just woke up to this! Congrats! You two couldn’t look happier,” Coolidge wrote. “Yippee! Sending so much love,” Paltrow said.
Love and Family
Naomi and Billy first met in 2017 on the set of Netflix drama series, Gypsy, where they played the role of husband and wife. Naomi also has two children with her ex-partner, actor Liev Schreiber, while Billy has a son with his ex-partner, actress Mary-Louise Parker.
Final Thoughts
Despite their privacy and limited disclosure, Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup’s marriage announcement surprised and made fans happy. As they begin this new journey in life, we can only hope and pray that their love and respect for each other continue to grow strong with each passing day.
Marriage is not just a social or legal institution but also an essential part of human culture. It holds great philosophical values, like love, empathy, trust, and commitment. As Australian philosopher Raimond Gaita writes, “… marriage is, or should be, an emblem of a certain kind of love: a love for the particular, and therefore vulnerable, people one has chosen to share one’s life with, and a love that endures.”
May the newlyweds be blessed and continue to share a love that endures forever.
