Sex and the City icon Kim Cattrall has married her partner, audio engineer Russell Thomas, in a secret and intimate ceremony in London. The actress, 69, tied the knot with Thomas, 54, at Chelsea Old Town Hall on Thursday, 4 December 2025, in what has been described as a quiet and elegant affair.
A Decade-Long Romance Culminates in London Nuptials
The couple's journey to the altar began nearly a decade ago. They first met in 2016 at the BBC in London, where Cattrall was recording an essay about insomnia for Radio 4's Woman's Hour. Their connection was immediate but took a modern turn. In 2018, Thomas took the initiative by sending the actress a direct message on social media platform X, a move Cattrall later described as "very, very modern."
Their relationship blossomed after Thomas made a bold trip to visit her in Vancouver, Canada. "It was very brave of him because we didn’t really know each other," Cattrall recalled in a 2020 interview. That visit proved pivotal, and they have been together ever since, navigating the true test of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown together.
Elegant Style and Intimate Details of the Big Day
The wedding was a deliberately low-key event, with reports indicating only around 12 guests were present to witness the vows. The ceremony focused on the strong bond the pair have built over the years and their relationships with close family and friends.
True to her status as a fashion icon, Cattrall made a stunning statement in a chic champagne-coloured Dior suit. The ensemble was styled by her longtime collaborator Patricia Field, the legendary former costume designer for Sex and the City. The outfit featured an opaque skirt elegantly draped with pleated dotted point d'esprit tulle.
She completed the look with white lace Cornelia James gloves and a custom-made hat by renowned Irish milliner Philip Treacy, adorned with white lattice lace and a fabric flower.
From Red Carpet Hints to a "Nice Life" Together
Eagle-eyed fans might have spotted a clue about the impending nuptials just days before. While attending the 2025 Fashion Awards at London's Royal Albert Hall with Thomas on Monday, Cattrall appeared to flash a wedding band on the red carpet.
This marriage marks the fourth for the actress, who has spoken glowingly about the difference in this relationship. She has described it as having a "really gradual" progression compared to more "instinctual" past partnerships. In a 2023 interview, she expressed deep gratitude for her "lovely" relationship with Thomas and their "nice life," which sees them dividing their time between the US, Canada, and the UK.
She has publicly praised her new husband, calling him a "firecracker" with a "wicked sense of humour" and, with a smile, noting he is "easy on the eyes."
The wedding news arrives as the legacy of Sex and the City, which first aired 25 years ago, continues. Cattrall's iconic role as Samantha Jones remains beloved, though the actress chose not to participate in the recent sequel series, And Just Like That..., a decision intertwined with the long-reported feud with former co-star Sarah Jessica Parker.
