Kim Cattrall has married Russell Thomas in a private London wedding ceremony, people magazine confirmed. The intimate nuptials, focused on family, friends, and authenticity, mark a new chapter for the actress best known for her iconic role as Samantha Jones in Sex and the City.
The wedding comes after a years-long romance that blossomed from a digital connection into a committed partnership. Cattrall, 67, and Thomas, whose age is not publicly known, prioritized a celebration reflecting their shared values and a desire for close, personal moments. The event underscores Cattrall’s continued pursuit of personal happiness following a period of professional resurgence and openness about finding love later in life.
The couple’s story began in 2016 after Cattrall appeared on BBC’s “Woman’s Hour,” prompting Thomas to follow her on X, formerly known as Twitter. Two years later, Thomas directly messaged Cattrall, initiating a connection she described as “very, very modern” and “very easy” in a 2018 interview with Glamour.
Their online rapport led to an in-person meeting in Vancouver, which Cattrall recalled as a “very brave” move on Thomas’s part in a 2020 People magazine interview. “We didn’t really know each other other than having a few meals together,” she said. “But he came and we got along great. And we’ve been together ever since!”
For their wedding, Cattrall chose a Dior suit, while Thomas opted for a Richard James suit. In a recent interview with The Times, Cattrall described Thomas as “a bit of a rebel, which I love,” highlighting his independent spirit and life lived on his own terms.The ceremony reflects the couple’s commitment to forging a path defined by their individual personalities and shared connection.
