It seems love has blossomed once again for Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup! Just a year after tying the knot in a low-key courthouse ceremony in New York City, the couple has taken their vows in a lavish destination wedding in Mexico City. On June 8, the star-studded affair brought together family, friends, and Hollywood’s elite to witness the couple’s commitment to one another.
The news was confirmed by none other than Naomi’s brother, photographer Ben Watts, who shared a glimpse of the magical moment on social media. In a video captured in an elevator, the radiant bride can be seen donning a stunning white gown, clutching a bouquet of pristine white flowers, while her groom, Crudup, stands behind her in a dapper dark suit.
A Family Affair
Adding to the heartwarming scene, Naomi’s children, Kai, 15, and Sasha, 16, whom she shares with her ex-husband Liev Schreiber, appeared to serve as bridesmaids, elegantly clad in strapless nude gowns. Joining them was the actress’s niece Ruby, while Crudup’s son, William Parker, 20, from his previous relationship with Mary-Louise Parker, completed the family portrait.
As the elevator doors closed, capturing the group’s joyous smiles and waves, Ben’s reflection in the doors revealed him filming the precious moment, ensuring it would be forever etched in memory.
Celebrating Love in Style
Ben’s Instagram Stories offered further glimpses into the special day, including a video of the breathtaking ceremony venue and the star-studded guest list, which included notable names like Justin Theroux and Nicole Kidman. Earlier in the day, Ben had also shared a heartwarming video of what appeared to be a welcome event, capturing Naomi and Crudup’s speech to their guests, setting the tone for the love-filled celebration.
Destination wedding, event, and travel planner Billy Folchetti added to the visual feast by posting photos and videos from the wedding, showcasing the stunning ceremony venue, the sumptuous dinner being served, and DJ Prince01 spinning the decks, ensuring the party was in full swing.
A Blossoming Romance
Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup first sparked dating rumors in 2016 after they filmed the Netflix series Gypsy together. A source confirmed their relationship to PEOPLE in July 2017, and they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in February 2022. In June 2023, Watts announced their initial marriage in an Instagram post, sharing a snapshot of themselves in front of a Manhattan courthouse.
During a January 2024 appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Watts revealed they had kept their courthouse ceremony “low-key,” with the flowers from a local bodega. However, this second celebration in Mexico City was a grand affair, showcasing the depth of their love and commitment to one another.
