Naomi Watts recounts a memorable experience with Billy Crudup from their early relationship in her new book, "Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause." Crudup’s unexpected admission during their first night together left a lasting impression on Watts.

"It was a romantic, yet candid moment when he said, ‘Hey, if it makes you feel better: I’ve got gray hairs on my balls,’" Crudup shared with Watts, reflecting his relaxed demeanor. This comment was not typical for a passionate evening, emphasizing their unique dynamic.

Watts, 56, outlines her journey through menopause in her book, which also serves as a guide. She highlights her experience with hormone patches, and this story illustrates her vulnerability. "I was worried he would see the patch and realize I was menopausal, no longer a vibrant, fertile woman," Watts wrote, explaining her concerns about the adhesive’s lingering mark on her skin.

On that eventful night at Crudup’s home, she describes a desperate moment. "I ripped the hormone patch off and scrubbed my skin raw." She recounts Crudup checking on her while she was in the bathroom, anxious about her delay. "I came out mortified," she admitted, struggling to find the right words to explain.

Eventually, Watts opened up about her menopause journey and the hormone patches. This revelation put Crudup at ease. "[A smile broke over his face;] he seemed relieved that my issue wasn’t a lack of desire," she detailed. He appreciated her self-care efforts and asked how he could support her.

In a tender twist, Crudup shared his own brand of honesty. "Those words remain the most romantic I’ve ever heard," Watts reflected. She notes this heartfelt exchange stood out even more than loving gestures, including a future marriage proposal.

Their relationship began on the set of *Gypsy*, where Watts portrayed a "horny, sociopathic therapist." Initially, they were just friends during filming. But during an intense sex scene, things shifted. Watts describes, "He flung a pillow across the room, making me blush and break character." Their connection deepened during quiet moments, where a shared look hinted at mutual attraction.

Watts and Crudup embarked on their romantic journey in 2017, with Us Weekly confirming their relationship that August. In June 2023, they married in a quaint New York City ceremony. Watts reflects fondly, "Loving him is the kindest thing I’ve ever done for myself."

"Dare I Say It" is now available, offering readers an intimate glimpse into Watts' experience with love and midlife changes.
