No, you can cry in space the same as anywhere else. It may get messy inside a helmet.

Technically, it is more difficult to cry tears in zero gravity, since the tears are partially carried to the eye by gravity. Tears could present a problem inside a spacecraft since they would float around as tiny balls of (conductive) salty water until sopped up.

While your eyes can water, the lack of gravity in space means that it will never form into tears and fall. So yes, provided you're far enough away from the nearest gravity well you will be unable to cry.
