Naomi Watts enjoyed her own little slice of paradise to kick off 2025.
“A perfect vacation in the sun,” Watts, 56, captioned an Instagram post on Thursday, January 2. “Thank you Barbados!!”
The 15-photo social media slideshow included Watts smiling with family and friends, including husband Billy Crudup and kids Sasha and Kai Schreiber. (Watts shares Sasha, 17, and Kai, 16, with ex Liev Schreiber.)
Crudup, 56, appeared in several of the vacation photos. One image showed him cozying up to Watts with his arm around the actress. The couple donned soft smiles and looked relaxed as ever. Both Watts and Crudup wore hats, keeping a low profile and keeping cool in the sun.

Watts also snapped a selfie with Crudup and Sasha while sitting down for a meal on the beach. It appeared Watts played photographer for the entire trip, snapping pictures of Crudup with their friends as well.
After meeting in 2017, Watts and Crudup started dating. The two have cemented themselves as one of Hollywood’s favorite couples since making their red carpet debut in February 2018. While the duo have no qualms about their relationship being in the public eye, Watts and Crudup have also mastered the art of keeping things low-key.
The couple secretly tied the knot in June 2023, according to an Instagram announcement from Watts. “Hitched,” she wrote, revealing that they got married in New York City.
“They wanted to keep it low-key and have this moment to themselves, and they pulled it off beautifully,” a source told Us Weekly at the time, calling the wedding “stress-free” and “spur of the moment.”

The insider explained that Watts and Crudup “never wanted” to have “a big A-list wedding.” Opting for a courthouse wedding was “so special” for the couple, the source added. (They hosted a larger wedding ceremony in June 2024.)
While they tend to keep details of their marriage out of any interviews, Watts did speak candidly about her “pretty great” sex life with Crudup during an August 2023 event.
“I personally think sex becomes more pleasurable when you take out the fear of making babies,” Watts said at the time, noting that she’s felt “more confident” in the bedroom with a partner who is “100 percent empathetic” without referring to Crudup by name.
“Whatever it is you’re going through, if you can talk to your partner, if you can be honest and have a really authentic conversation and take away the awkwardness, and most of the time if they’re good people, they will be empathetic,” Watts continued. “And that’s hot.”
