The news brought the newlyweds an outpouring of congratulatory messages, among them Crudup’s ex, Mary-Louise Parker.
“I wish them well,” Parker said when she was asked during a Guardian interview about Crudup’s marriage to Naomi.
“I honestly, of course, wish them every happiness, because that’s my son’s father. So, I’m happy for them. I’m happy they found each other.”

View StoryMary-Louise and Billy, who share a 19-year-old son together, dated from 1996-2003. Crudup, who stars on “The Morning Show,” left Parker when she was seven months pregnant for a relationship with Claire Danes.
Parker briefly touched on the end of her relationship with Crudup in her 2015 memoir “Dear Mr. You,” which featured a series of letters to men in her life.
One letter recounted what she said to a cab driver after he asked her to leave for losing her temper with him in the wake of her breakup. "I am alone. Look, see? I am pregnant and alone,” she wrote. “It hurts to even breathe."
Crudup and Watts first sparked romance rumors in July 2017. Naomi appeared to hint at their engagement during a “Today” appearance in April, when she was spotted with a diamond ring on that finger, though she did not confirm anything during the broadcast.
