Kristin Davis, best known for her role as Charlotte York in Sex and the City, recently spoke up to deny long-standing rumors that she once dated her co-star Chris Noth. The actress, who is now 60, made her statement clear in a comment on her Instagram post on June 6. When a fan asked if she had ever been in a relationship with Noth, she replied firmly, “No, I didn’t!!!” She even corrected her own typing mistake by adding “[sic]” to show she meant what she said.
The rumors about Davis and Noth first started way back in 2000 when they were seen together at the MTV Movie Awards. In photos from the event, they appeared very close, with Davis even playfully licking Noth’s cheek on the red carpet. Over the years, the speculation never completely died down, and recently, fans on Reddit brought it up again, leading Davis to finally put an end to the gossip.
Davis shared her comment alongside a clip from her podcast, Are You A Charlotte?, where she and rapper Megan Thee Stallion talked about Chris Noth’s character, Mr. Big, from Sex and the City and its sequel series, And Just Like That. In the podcast, they discussed how Mr. Big’s story ended in the first season of And Just Like That when his character died suddenly from a heart attack after using a Peloton exercise bike. Davis joked about it, saying, “We killed him. He died on the Peloton.”
Chris Noth’s character, Mr. Big, was a major part of Sex and the City and its movies, but his relationship with Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, was always complicated. In the 2008 movie, he famously left Carrie at the altar, though they later got back together. When And Just Like That started, fans were shocked when Mr. Big was killed off in the very first episode.
Originally, Noth was supposed to appear in a flashback scene in the show, but it was removed after serious allegations were made against him. In late 2021, multiple women accused Noth of sexual assault, though he strongly denied these claims and was never formally charged. Because of the controversy, he was dropped from several projects, including the TV show The Equalizer, and lost endorsement deals with brands like Peloton and Ambhar Tequila.
Despite the challenges, Noth has said he is not giving up on his career. In a 2023 interview with USA Today, he explained, “I can’t just say ‘Well, OK, that’s it for me.’ I’m an actor. I have other things that I want to do creatively.” He also mentioned that he has children to support and needs to keep working. “It’s rough, because people are scared, and their fear leads them. And I have to just persevere because I still have a creative life,” he added.
Meanwhile, Kristin Davis continues to be a part of And Just Like That, which recently premiered its third season on May 29. Fans are excited to see more of her character, Charlotte, as well as the rest of the beloved Sex and the City cast.
While Davis and Noth shared many scenes together as Charlotte and Mr. Big, their off-screen relationship was strictly professional. Davis has had her share of high-profile relationships in the past, including one with actor Alec Baldwin, who was actually considered for the role of Mr. Big before Chris Noth was cast.
The rumors about Davis and Noth dating may have persisted for over two decades, but now, with her direct response, the speculation can finally be put to rest. Fans of the show can instead focus on the new season of And Just Like That and enjoy seeing their favorite characters back on screen.
Kristin Davis has always been open with her fans, whether it’s about her personal life or her thoughts on the show. Her podcast, Are You A Charlotte?, gives viewers a chance to hear behind-the-scenes stories and her own reflections on playing Charlotte for so many years.
As for Chris Noth, while his future in Hollywood remains uncertain, he has made it clear that he plans to keep pursuing acting. Whether audiences will welcome him back remains to be seen, but for now, the focus is on the women of Sex and the City and their new adventures in And Just Like That.
The friendship and professional respect between Davis and Noth may have been mistaken for romance in the past, but Davis has made sure to clarify the truth. With her straightforward response, she has ended the rumors once and for all, allowing fans to move on from the old gossip and enjoy the latest developments in the Sex and the City universe.
As the show continues, viewers can look forward to more drama, humor, and heartfelt moments from the characters they love. And while some storylines may come to an end—like Mr. Big’s unexpected death—the legacy of Sex and the City lives on, with Kristin Davis and her co-stars keeping the spirit of the show alive for a whole new generation of fans.
In the end, whether it’s on-screen relationships or off-screen rumors, the most important thing is the connection the show has with its audience. And with Davis’s honesty and dedication to her role, that connection remains as strong as ever.
