Naomi Watts sparks engagement rumours as she wears a diamond sparkler on her ring finger... after dating Billy Crudup for six years
Rumours are swirling that Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup are engaged.
The British-Australian actress, 54, was photographed on Thursday with a diamond rock on her ring finger.
She was spotted walking her dog on the streets of New York City, and a hint of her sparkler could be seen on her left hand.
In a telling clue she has good news to share, the Mullholland Drive star sported a wide smile and a spring in her step.
Naomi looked effortlessly stylish for her NYC stroll in a pair of baggy denim jeans, a black jumper, and a crisp white shirt.

She wore a beige blazer to keep herself warm and accessorised with cat-eye sunglasses, an oversized white bag and platform slides.
The King Kong actress is rarely seen publicly with her boyfriend of six years.
Naomi and Billy, 54, have tried to keep their relationship private and away from the celebrity news cycle.

The couple have been dating since they co-starred in the Netflix drama series Gypsy (2017), but they didn't make their red carpet debut until the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards, where Billy was nominated for his role on The Morning Show.
They've made an effort to keep their romance out of the spotlight, making only a handful of public appearances together and rarely discussing each other - although they have shared a few sweet moments on social media.
'Happy birthday, my love,' Naomi wrote alongside a photo of the couple visiting the Louvre in Paris, France, on July 8, 2022.

Naomi also referred to Billy as 'my darling' in the caption of a photo of the pair relaxing on a lounge chair on February 14.
The award-winning actress shares two sons, Sasha, 15, and Kai, 14, with her ex-partner Liev Schreiber, 55, whom she started dating in 2005.
The couple decided to split in 2016 after 11 years together, but they have remained committed to amicably co-parenting their children.
The Ray Donovan star has since moved on with actress and model Taylor Neisen, 30, and they are expecting their first child together.
