LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Billy Crudup, 54, is now officially hitched to Naomi Watts. The on-screen spouses of the Netflix series ‘Gypsy’ are now married, according to Watts’ Instagram post. The ‘Mulholland Drive’ star posted the news of their marriage that took place in a New York courthouse on June 9.

While this is Crudup's first marriage, he has had a string of relationships in the past. He has dated some prominent Hollywood actresses before, and his love life has been laced with scandals. Let’s have a look at his dating history.

Jennifer Connelly

It is said that Crudup was in a brief relationship with his ‘Inventing the Abbotts’ (1997) co-star Jennifer Connelly in 1996. According to the Who’s Dated Who? website, they started dating in March 1996 and broke up in June. They later co-starred in another movie, 2000's ‘Waking the Dead’.

Mary Louise-Parker

Billy Crudup was in a relationship with ‘Grand Canyon’ actress Mary Louise-Parker since 1996 after co-starring in a stage revival of William Inge’s 'Bus Stop'. They were in a live-in relationship before Crudup infamously left her when she was seven months pregnant with their son William Atticus Parker, 19 in November 2003. It was said that Crudup left Parker for his ‘Stage Beauty’ co-star Claire Danes, whom he started dating soon after. According to Entertainment Weekly, when Parker gave birth to their son Atticus in January 2004, she banned Crudup from entering her labor room. However, she allowed him to visit the newborn baby in her home.

Claire Danes

Crudup subsequently dated his ‘Stage Beauty’ co-star Claire Danes, then 24. The pair were together for two years before Danes left Crudup for her future husband British actor Hugh Dancy in 2006. While the ‘Homeland’ actress and Crudup's relationship caused a huge scandal, Danes later opened up about it on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show in October 2015. As per Us Weekly, referring to the harsh rebuttal from the public, Danes said, “That was a scary thing,” before adding, “That was really hard. I didn’t know how to not do that.”

She famously added, “I was just in love with him,” and continued, “And needed to explore that and I was 24… I didn’t quite know what those consequences would be.”

In the same interview, the ‘Romeo + Juliet’ star also spoke about leaving Crudup for Dancy, saying she was at peace with the Crudup situation. “But it’s okay. I went through it,” she said, adding, “We’re friendly, we’re friends.”

Naomi Watts

The stage and film actor started dating Naomi Watts in 2017 after meeting her on the sets of the Netflix show ‘Gypsy’. Before that, the ‘King Kong’ star was in a long relationship with her partner of 11 years, Liev Schreiber. They share two children together, Kai and Sasha. Watts first fueled the news of engagement with Crudup as she was spotted wearing an exquisite marquise cut diamond ring in March 2023, as per Daily Mail.
