MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: People were all praise for Naomi Watts' ex-boyfriend, Liev Schreiber, for his "incredibly sweet" gesture after the actress officially exchanged vows with her boyfriend Billy Crudup. Shortly after getting married, the 'King Kong' star, 54, shared a picture of herself and her new husband walking on the steps of what appeared to be a Manhattan courtroom on Instagram.

Watts captioned the picture, "Hitched!" SHE wore a $7,400 white Oscar de la Renta Sweetheart Water Lily Guipure wedding gown for the ceremony. The notoriously private couple previously fuelled marriage speculations after they were pictured in wedding-related clothes in pictures acquired by PageSix on Friday, June 9.

'Congratulations! Gorgeous!'

'The Mulholland Drive' actress completed her ensemble with open-toed shoes and a diamond necklace. She styled her short blonde hair in curls with a side split. New York native Billy, meanwhile, was dressed in a navy blue suit and looked dapper with his salt-and-pepper shag hair impressively combed back. In addition, she uploaded a close-up photo of herself holding a white bouquet and captioned it, saying she got the flowers at a nearby deli. The star also posted a picture of the newlyweds enjoying themselves with actor Mark Ruffalo and his wife, Sunrise Coigney, after the wedding. Schreiber, whom Naomi had dated for 11 years, wished the couple the best by writing, "Congratulations!!! Gorgeous!!!."

'So incredibly sweet'

Friends and fans immediately congratulated the newlyweds and Schreiber was immensely praised for his gesture. "That is so nice to see," a fan commented on his message. Another fan wrote, "So Cool!!" "The high road always has the better view. Beautiful comment, Liev," penned a user. "Awesome to see happy co-parents support each other," mentioned one fan. "So incredibly sweet," said another.
