Naomi Watts is getting candid on her romance with husband Billy Crudup.The actress, 56, has been vocal for years about going through menopause, and is now recalling trying to date after her split from Liev Schreiber in 2016.Watts fell for her “Gypsy” co-star, 56, but had a moment of panic before their first night together.In her new book, “Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause,” she recounts going into the bathroom to try and scratch off the hormone patch she had on.

While behind the door, Watts blurted out to Crudup, “I didn’t want you to see it because then you would know I’m in early menopause, which means I am old.”But his reply sealed the deal for Watts, who tied the knot with Crudup in 2023.

The “Morning Show” actor offered to help — and pointed out that they were the same age.“If it makes you feel better,” Crudup told her, “I’ve got gray hairs on my balls.” Those were, as she pens, “the most romantic words I’ve ever heard, onscreen or off.” That kind of understanding “was everything,” Watts told People magazine. “I felt seen and heard and there’s so much love in that.”The “Mulholland Drive” star also opens up about her 11-year relationship with Schreiber, 57.

She reveals it wasn’t easy for the pair, who have kids Sasha, 17, and Kai, 16, to conceive.“I was determined to get pregnant as soon as possible.
