Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup have been quietly dating for years. This week, they finally married.

2022 offered us some pretty surprising celebrity couples. 

We had a new couple alert in the form of actor/singer Anna Kendrick and actor/comedian Bill Hader. Kanye West and Julia Fox's antics generated countless headlines. And we even had adult children of famous parents getting together, including Frances Bean Cobain and Tony Hawk's son, Riley Hawk, as well as Iris Apatow and Kate Hudson's son.

Then we added Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup, who are former co-stars on Netflix's Gypsy, to the mix. 

Watch the trailer for Netflix's Gypsy below. Post continues after video.

Crudup and Watts made their first public appearance in March 2022 after reportedly privately dating since 2017. And what better place to make things official than the SAG Awards. 

The couple attended the awards show as Crudup was nominated for Best Drama Actor for his role as Cory in The Morning Show.

And leading up to the big night, Watts shared photos of them getting ready and enjoying the car ride over with the caption: "Go Billy!!"

As for Billy Crudup, he was with Weeds actor Mary-Louise Parker from 1996 to 2003. But their relationship ended in scandal when Crudup left Parker - who was seven months pregnant - to pursue a relationship with Homeland and Romeo and Juliet star Claire Danes. Crudup's son with Parker is now 18.

Despite an 11-year age gap, the pair stayed together for four years, before Danes left Crudup for her now-husband Hugh Dancy.

"I was just in love with him and needed to explore that and I was 24. I didn't quite know what those consequences would be. That was a scary thing. It was really hard," she said of the public backlash. "But it's okay. I went through it."

I have a mild dislike of Billy Crudup (and Claire Danes), which I think is fuelled by a little bit of nationalism.

They broke our Ben Lee's heart. I cannot abide this. Crudup is going to break another top notch Aussie's heart now, mark my words.

Our Naomi Watts is, one day, going to wish that she stuck to shunning Hollywood men for the sake of lamb dinners.
