Kim Cattrall, known for her iconic role as Samantha Jones in *Sex and the City*, recently tied the knot with Russell Thomas. The couple married in an intimate ceremony at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London, surrounded by just 12 close friends and family. Their relationship began in 2016 when Cattrall appeared on BBC Radio 4’s *Woman’s Hour*, where Thomas worked. They connected when she shared personal diary entries about her struggles with insomnia.
Cattrall remarked on Thomas’s life, stating he’s an original at heart—an actor with a fascinating journey. Many had mistakenly labeled him as a sound engineer, but her admiration shines through when she describes him as a bit of a rebel, someone who lives on his own terms.
*Sex and the City* first aired in 1998 and ran for six seasons, becoming a cultural phenomenon. The show featured strong performances from Cattrall, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis, highlighting friendship and love in urban life. Cattrall earned a Golden Globe Award in 2003 and received several other nominations for her portrayal of Samantha.
A recent *YouGov* survey revealed that nearly 60% of people who watched *Sex and the City* still hold fond memories of the series, showcasing its lasting impact on audiences. Even after the original show’s end in 2004, its legacy continued with two films and the spin-off series *And Just Like That*, though Cattrall chose not to participate in the revival due to past tensions with her co-stars.
In addition to her work on *Sex and the City*, Cattrall has appeared in various acclaimed projects, including the Bafta-nominated BBC series *The Witness for the Prosecution*. She also starred in the 2022 revival of *Queer as Folk* and has notable film credits such as *Mannequin* and the original *Police Academy*.
As she embarks on this new chapter with Thomas, fans are celebrating her happiness, proving that love and friendship remain timeless themes, both on and off-screen.
