In a rare public outing together, Billy Crudup and Naomi Watts was seen taking a walk with her dog after enjoying dinner in New York City.
The two actors were photographed chatting and laughing as they walked the streets of the Tribeca neighborhood in midtown Manhattan on Sunday.
The Storeham, England native, who moved to Sydney, Australia as a teenager, bundled up to stay warm in a brown and black patterned coat and scarf.
She also donned baggy jeans and a pair of white sneakers, black-rimmed glasses, and her blonde hair fell around shoulder level with a parting down the middle.
From the looks of it, the two-time Academy Award nominee was changing into her four-legged familiar, clinging to her Yorkshire terrier’s pink leash during the leisurely walk in her adopted hometown.
Lovebirds: Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup took a post-dinner walk together in the Tribeca neighborhood of midtown Manhattan with their dog on Sunday night.
Crudup also kept it casual in the fashion department dressed in dark blue jeans and a brown hoodie, which also served to warm the hands on this chilly night in the big city.
The 54-year-old Manhasset, New York native also sported a pair of black and white sneakers, and had his dark hair cut short and pulled back from his face.
This is a rare sighting of the two, who have tried to keep their relationship private and out of the public eye over the years.
The couple have been dating since they co-starred in the Netflix drama series Gypsy (2017), but they didn’t make their red carpet debut until the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards, where Crudrup was nominated for his role in The Morning Show.
While they’ve made an effort to keep their romance out of the spotlight, making only a handful of public appearances together and rarely bickering with each other, they’ve shared some sweet moments with fans on social media.
