British actress Naomi Watts has celebrated her first wedding anniversary to fellow A-list actor Billy Crudup by holding a second wedding ceremony.
The lovebirds first tied the knot in secret in a New York City courthouse on June 9, 2023, after more than five years together.
After paparazzi snaps of the couple in formal attire and matching rings emerged, Naomi took to her Instagram to confirm that the rumours of the nuptials were in fact true!
Sharing a selfie she had taken with her new husband on their wedding day, Naomi captioned the post with “Hitched 🕊️🪢♥️.”
On the special day, Naomi wore a gorgeous lace Oscar de la Renta Sweetheart Water Lilly Guipure Dress, retailing at a very reasonable $7,390,51.
And now, a year on, the newlyweds have celebrated their love in a larger ceremony attended by their family and friends in Mexico City.
While details are scarce, photos shared from inside the second wedding show Naomi in a simple white gown while her handsome husband looked dapper in a crisp dark suit.
Just five months ago, the mother of two spilled the beans about why she and Billy chose to have such a remarkably low-key wedding the first time around.
“We knew we wanted to do it, it was something we were very keen on doing and quickly. It’s an efficient way to do it,” the mother-of-two shared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in January 2024
“It was really lovely. It was a classic New York day. You ran into all kinds of people, some were dressed to the nines, some were walking quickly in and out.”
Naomi previously delighted fans by revealing the inner workings of her marriage while at a Hampton Bays event in September 2023.
The 55-year-old revealed the couple has a “pretty great sex [life],” and even confirmed which “position” she was loving most.
“I personally think sex becomes more pleasurable when you take out the fear of making babies,” Naomi said at the event according to the Daily Mail.
“It feels more like, ‘I’m going to do this for myself’ [because] you’re more confident with yourself, you’ve had experience, you’re wiser,” she added before cheekily revealing that her sex position of choice changed often.
“On top, underneath. Right now, I’m not fussy.”
