Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup Celebrate Second Wedding in Mexico City
Actors Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup have recently celebrated their second wedding in a private ceremony in Mexico City, a year following their secret nuptials in New York City.
The British-born Watts, known for her roles in both film and television, was accompanied by her children Sasha, 16, and Kai, 15, from her previous marriage to actor Liev Schreiber, with Kai serving as a bridesmaid alongside the actor’s niece Ruby.
Among the exclusive guests at the ceremony were actor Justin Theroux and his girlfriend, Nicole Brydon Bloom, adding to the star-studded event.
Watts’ brother Ben, a renowned photographer, captured special moments of the ceremony and reception, sharing the festivities on social media platforms like Instagram, including a candid shot of the bride and groom alongside the wedding party in an elevator.
Watts, 55, previously shared that the couple opted for a courthouse wedding in New York due to their eagerness to wed swiftly, deeming it a pragmatic approach to marriage during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The couple first crossed paths in 2017 on the set of the Netflix series “Gypsy” and began dating later that year. Sources suggest that they became engaged early in 2023, keeping their engagement low-key, with Watts evading inquiries about her ring in a televised interview.
The video shared by Watts’ brother Ben showcases the couple walking down the aisle in Mexico City, with Crudup, 55, in a sharp dark suit, accompanied by his son, William Atticus Parker, and Watts’ daughter, Sasha Schreiber, as bridesmaid, creating a family-oriented affair.
Naomi Watts, a versatile actress with a diverse portfolio, elegantly made her way down the aisle in an off-white wedding gown, holding a bouquet, with her son Sasha giving her away. The couple’s heartfelt vows were followed by a joyous celebration, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.
The couple made their first public disclosure of their marriage on social media last year, showcasing their love story and commitment to one another. Watts, known for her roles in acclaimed films like “King Kong,” shares a deep bond with Crudup, who has won a Tony Award for his exceptional work in theater.
Notable personalities like Mark Ruffalo, Sunrise Coigney, Josh Hamilton, and Lily Thorne were present at the ceremony, adding to the charm and exclusivity of the star-studded event, which was a true celebration of love and unity.
