Other images showed Watts taking a sunny stroll with her loved ones, and Sasha spending some time on the beach holding up a live crab. The Ring actress also took in the sights and shared the island scenery — including sweet sunset photos of palm trees and local merchants selling handmade jewelry.
The Morning Show actor made another appearance in the roundup as the couple, who got married in June 2023, sat smiling together at yet another beachside restaurant.

This time the pair matched in black tops as Watts leaned onto her husband’s chest with his arm resting gently around her.
Speaking to E! News during the red carpet pre-show at the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards in September — where the actor was nominated for the Apple TV+ drama alongside costars Jon Hamm and Mark Duplass — the husband and wife revealed there’s no competition between them.
Watts was nominated for her role as New York City socialite Babe Paley on FX’s Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.
“We talk about work quite a bit and we’ll run through ideas that we’ll have for scenes or characters. And I have to say that there are no competitive vibes at all,” said Crudup.

As for their vacation in Barbados, much of their time was spent by the water, with photos showing off a fresh fish catch, surfing moments and meals together. Kai also joined in for a group shot as just short of a dozen of their friends and family joined in for a sunset beach photo.
