Despite the swirling speculation about her relationship status with Crudup, Watts seems reluctant to set the record straight. During his latest appearance on the Today Show, Naomi faced host Hoda Kotb, who curiously alluded to her diamond ring.
But instead of clearing host Kotb's curiosity, the English decided to play coy. Here's the exchange that took place between Watts and Hoda on the show. "It's like a big glint coming from some ring over here," Hoda said, adding, "It just struck me, but it's beautiful."
The couple made their red-carpet debut after five years of dating last year!
Even Hoda's co-host, Savannah Guthrie, chimed in to ask if the actress was indeed engaged, to which Watts replied, "Brain fog." Fans have since likened Watts' skittish attitude to meaning yes as many took her Instagram post to congratulate her.
Inside Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup's Relationship Timeline!
The Brit actress Naomi Watts and her beau, Billy Crudup, believe in treading latently. The pair, Watts and Crudup, started a fling in 2017!

Watts and Billy crossed paths years ago at a Broadway benefit event, but it was while filming the 2017 Netflix series Gypsy, where the duo played spouses, that the two started dating. As the co-stars started appearing friendly off the movie sets, rumor mills churned out the theory that they were dating.
The rumored couple denied the claims as long as they could. Naomi, who was just out of a serious relationship and was co-parenting her two kids with her ex, vehemently insisted on her single status, and so did Crudup, who alleged that his demanding career doesn't allow him the time for romance.

Once dishing on their low-profile relationship, Crudup shared that they keep it so low was in the best interest of their careers. Like Naomi, Billy also had some serious relationships before. Moreover, Billy has a son with an ex-partner.
Crudup, 54, is a Tony-winning actor. His most notable works are The Coast of Utopia, Without Limits, and Almost Famous.
