In a recent disclosure, Naomi Watts shared the amusing confession made by her current spouse, Billy Crudup, during their initial intimate moment together.
Currently, the 56-year-old actress shared her account of the events preceding that instance during an interview on Today, which aired on Tuesday while promoting her memoir titled “Dare I Say It.
Due to undergoing menopause at an unusually young age of 36, she found herself needing to use a hormone replacement patch. This became a source of embarrassment for her during her initial intimate encounter with the handsome 56-year-old actor on their first night together.
She mentioned that she needed to secretly go to the restroom and attempt to deal with something. If there are people who understand these patches, they are very sticky, so it wasn’t an easy task. As a result, she was absent from the room for a longer period of time than expected.
‘So things are supposed to be happening , um, so yeah I talk about that in the book.’
Menopause refers to the stage in a woman’s life when her menstrual cycles cease permanently, rendering her incapable of natural conception. Typically, this transition occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.


In an excerpt from her upcoming book, published by The Times recently, Naomi openly discussed her relationship with Billy, which began when she went through menopause at the age of 36.
In the Netflix thriller Gypsy, an actress who was nominated for an Oscar confessed that she wasn’t seeking romance at the time when their paths crossed during production. This admission came just after the actress Naomi had parted ways with American actor Liev Schreiber in 2016.
To clarify, she mentioned that a romantic relationship with Billy, her co-star and on-screen husband, was never a consideration for her, even though their acting scenes together included simulating intimate moments, such as prolonged dry-humping that left them both fatigued.
After one of their intense scenes, Naomi started viewing Billy differently. During this passionate moment, he unexpectedly tossed a pillow across the room, adding an element of spontaneity to their act that left her flustered and struggling to maintain her composure.
In my experience as a lifestyle expert, I’ve found myself quite surprised when, over the years following menopause, my libido seemed to take a noticeable dip.
Naomi mentioned that during their initial encounter, she had to step away to use the restroom and take off her hormone patch. However, upon removing it, she noticed an imprint on her skin.
Naomi pondered over Billy’s potential response to her going through menopause, and fretted about his desire for additional kids, for such a prolonged duration that Billy ultimately addressed her.
She continued, admitting that she felt deeply embarrassed, as she opened up to him about experiencing early menopause.








Naomi remembered the discussion, and she mentioned that she prefers not to show her hormone patches because they might suggest she is experiencing early menopause, which could make one think she is older, potentially leading to discomfort in your relationship. She then added, “Oh my goodness, should I just go?
Billy’s quick comment put her concerns about ageing to rest, as he jokingly remarked, “Well, if it helps, I’ve got some grey hairs down there too.
She highly commended Billy by saying that his admission was the most heartwarmingly romantic thing she had ever heard. Moreover, she appreciated him for being genuinely compassionate, rather than being uncomfortable or awkward in such situations.
In that moment, Naomi added, all the shame she was carrying was washed away.
I’m thrilled to share that Naomi’s book, titled “Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause,” is now accessible at all bookstores worldwide.
