Kim Cattrall is officially off the market again—and she did it her way. The Sex and the City icon, 68, quietly said “I do” to her longtime partner, 54-year-old audio engineer Russell Thomas, in a private London ceremony that’s giving timeless elegance with a dash of Samantha Jones flair.
The pair exchanged vows on December 4 at Chelsea Old Town Hall, surrounded by just a dozen close friends and family members. Sources tell People the event was intimate, emotional, and “unapologetically Kim”—low-key but bursting with personal touches that reflected the couple’s nearly decade-long romance.
Cattrall and Thomas first crossed paths in 2016 at the BBC, when she recorded an essay on insomnia for Woman’s Hour. Sparks flew after he slid into her DMs—“very modern,” she once laughed—and a transatlantic romance began.
The bride stunned in a custom champagne-colored Dior ensemble styled by her Sex and the City collaborator Patricia Field. The tailored jacket, opaque skirt, and pleated tulle overlay struck the perfect balance between classic and edgy. She completed the look with lace Cornelia James gloves and a bespoke Philip Treacy hat adorned with white lattice lace and a delicate flower.
Fans had actually spotted the wedding band days earlier at London’s Fashion Awards, where Cattrall and Thomas made a rare red carpet appearance.
In interviews over the years, Cattrall hasn’t held back about her love for Thomas, calling him “a firecracker” with a “wicked sense of humor” and “easy on the eyes.” Their relationship, she’s said, grew slowly and steadily—unlike her more impulsive past romances.
The couple weathered the pandemic together, splitting time between the US, Canada, and the UK. “I feel so at ease with him,” she once told People. “It’s a wonderful life, and I’m truly grateful.”
While Cattrall’s fourth trip down the aisle marks a new chapter of happiness, her past continues to shadow her Sex and the City legacy. Despite fan hopes, she famously opted out of HBO’s And Just Like That…, citing long-standing friction with Sarah Jessica Parker.
Still, even without Samantha Jones returning full-time to TV, Kim Cattrall’s real-life love story proves that sometimes, the best endings happen off-screen—quietly, stylishly, and entirely on her own terms.
