Kim Cattrall, \u201cSex and the City\u2019s\u201d sartorially and sexually savvy Samantha Jones, has settled down with boyfriend Russell Thomas. <\/p>\n
The Emmy-nominated star shared news of her marriage to the audio engineer on Friday, posting a black-and-white image<\/a> of the pair kissing and holding each other on Instagram. They married on Thursday in an intimate ceremony with only close friends and family in attendance at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London, according to People<\/a>. <\/p>\n Cattrall, 69, opted for a form-fitting Dior suit, Cornelia James lace gloves and a bespoke Philip Treacy fascinator for the occasion, People reported. Thomas, 55, wore a custom suit by Richard James. This is Cattrall\u2019s first marriage. <\/p>\n The \u201cHow I Met Your Father\u201d and \u201cIce Princess\u201d star tied the knot with Thomas after nine years of dating<\/a>. They reportedly struck up a connection in 2016 when Cattrall appeared on an episode of BBC Radio 4\u2019s \u201cWoman\u2019s Hour.\u201d Thomas, who was working for the British broadcaster at the time, messaged her on X (Twitter at the time) after the interaction, she told Glamour in 2018<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cIt was very, very modern, it\u2019s just been very easy,\u201d she said, adding that she was in love with her then-boyfriend. \u201cIt\u2019s real good, it\u2019s real good. He\u2019s a great guy.\u201d<\/p>\n Since hitting it off with Thomas, Cattrall has shared their romance on Instagram, posting photos from their various vacations<\/a> and public appearances<\/a>, most recently the 2025 Fashion Awards in London.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a wonderful life with you,\u201d she captioned an Instagram photo<\/a> with Thomas on his birthday in 2020. <\/p>\n Cattrall famously starred alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis in the HBO hit \u201cSex and the City,\u201d created by Darren Star. The series aired from 1998 to 2004 and earned Cattrall five Primetime Emmy nominations in the supporting actress in a comedy series category. The series also spawned two feature films and a sequel series, \u201cAnd Just Like That.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite their close-knit friendship on-screen, Cattrall publicly<\/a> feuded<\/a> with co-star Parker over the years. Tensions between the stars resurfaced amid \u201cAnd Just Like That.\u201d The show premiered in 2021 and picked up more than a decade after the events of the 2010 film \u201cSex and the City 2.\u201d Cattrall did not return to star in the spinoff alongside her fellow castmates, but appeared \u2014 by herself \u2014 for just over a minute for a lackluster send-off<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Just Like That\u201d ended in August<\/a> after three seasons, leaving much to be desired, according to Times critic Mary McNamara. <\/p>\n \u201cLooking back, the lack of Samantha<\/a>, and Cattrall, feels like a deal-breaker,\u201d she wrote. \u201cFor all her campy affectations, Samantha was always the most grounded of the characters, able to cut to the heart of things with a witty line, biting comment or just a simple truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
