Naomi Watts and boyfriend Billy Crudup share sweet moment in rare outing walking dog in New York
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup appeared in great spirit as they took a stroll with her dog after enjoying a romantic dinner in New York City on Sunday, March 19. The 54-year-old star and her actor boyfriend, 54, were pictured chatting and laughing while walking around the streets of the Downtown Manhattan neighborhood of Tribeca.
‘The Painted Veil’ star cut a casual figure in a brown and black-patterned overcoat and scarf to keep herself warm. Watts also adorned a pair of baggy blue jeans which she complimented with chunky white sneakers. She accessorized her look with black-frame glasses and kept her blonde tresses falling around shoulder level with a part in the middle. The two-time Academy Award nominee appeared to be in charge of her furry friend as she held on to her Yorkshire terrier's pink leash during the leisurely stroll, according to DailyMail.

When did Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup start dating?
Crudup effortlessly matched Watts’ vibes and opted for a casual look with dark blue jeans and a brown hoodie, which also served as a hand-warmer on this chilly night in the busy city. The ‘Almost Famous’ star sported a pair of black and white sneakers and had his dark hair cut short and pushed back off his face. The outing came as a rare public appearance for the couple as they tend to keep their relationship private and away from the spotlight.
The couple has been dating since 2017 when they co-starred in the Netflix drama series ‘Gypsy’, according to People. Watts and Crudup kept their relationship under wrap until they walked the red carpet together for the first time at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2022. The pair tries to keep their romance out of the spotlight but they never shy away from gushing over each other in mushy social media posts.
Naomi Watts’ love life
"Happy birthday my love," Watts wrote as she shared a mushy snap of the couple snuggling up while visiting the Louvre Museum in Paris, France on July 8, 2022. Watts also referred to Crudup as 'my darling' in the caption of a photo of the pair relaxing on a lounge chair this past February 14. Watts and Crudup began dating just a year after she ended her 11-year-long relationship with actor Liev Schreiber. Watts and Schreiber began dating in 2005 and share two sons, Sasha, 15, and Kai, 14. The ‘Ray Donovan’ actor has since moved on to date the much younger actress and model, Taylor Neisen, 30, who was formerly Miss South Dakota and competed in the Miss USA pageant in 2012.
