Billy Crudup and Naomi WattsLast August, Watts opened up about her "pretty great" sex life with her husband at a wellness event in New York. "Whatever it is you're going through, if you can talk to your partner and take away the awkwardness ... and most of the time, if they're good people, they will be empathetic," she said. "And that's hot — that's really hot when you can be honest and the conversation lands really well."
She even recalled having to sneak into the bathroom before having sex to scrub off the sticky residue that was left behind by the estrogen patches she was using at the time to regulate her hormones.

"The minute I brought honesty into the room, despite how awkward and hard that was for me — I've had so much shame about it — he knew how to behave, he knew what cues to follow, he was 100 percent empathetic and I can safely say we went on to have you know, pretty great sex that night," the actress shared at the wellness event.
Back in July, Watts posted a romantic picture of herself and Crudup on Instagram as they snuggled on a boat with a picturesque scene behind them in celebration of his birthday.
"Happy birthday Billy ♥️," Watts captioned the post.
