Did Sex and the City’s Kim Cattrall Return for And Just Like That’s Series Finale? The Truth
Kim Cattrall and Russell Thomas are showing up in style.
Indeed, the Sex in the City alum recently made a rare public appearance with her boyfriend of nearly a decade at a Jimmy Choo event at The Dover in London, England on Sept. 15. Kim stunned in a long sleeve, bodycon black dress with ruched details and a metallic design that hit just above her hunter green heeled ankle boots. Russell, meanwhile, wore a coordinating dark green suit paired with a light blue collared shirt.
The London outing was one of the few public appearances Kim, 68, and Russell, 54, have made in recent years. However, they’ve been going strong ever since Kim met Russell in 2016 while recording a reading for the Woman’s Hour on BBC Radio 4, where he worked at the time.
“We’ve been together almost ten years now and we’ve had a blast," Kim told The Times in June. "We’ve just had so much fun.”
And her inner Samantha comes out when describing what she first found admirable about the audio producer.
"He’s had an incredibly interesting life and really done it on his terms," she shared. "He’s a bit of a rebel, which I love."
But meeting him while in her 50s meant that she had already been through a lot of life's challenges. In fact, when she met Russ, she was grieving the loss of her father.
“I keep saying, 'I wish I hadn’t gone through all that,'" she explained, "And then I thought to myself, 'Well, if I hadn’t have gone through that, I wouldn’t have met Russ.'"

And with the loss of her brother in their early years of dating, life continued posing hardships. However, Kim shared that Russell was a positive light along the way.
"Life has surprises and trade-offs," she noted. "It was a bad time, but I learned a tremendous amount. And at the other end of it was this incredible, fun playmate.”

Dolly Parton & Carl Thomas Dean
She's a superstar performer known around the world. He was a private man who stayed away from the spotlight. But before his passing in March 2025, they built a marriage that lasted more than 56 years. "I like it when people say, 'How did it last so long?'" Dolly told ET Canada in December 2022. "I say, 'It's stay going.' There's a lot to be said about that. So we're not in each other's face all the time. He's not in the business, so we have different interests, but yet we have the things we love to do together. So it was meant to be. He was the one I was supposed to have and vice versa."

Samuel L. Jackson & LaTanya Richardson Jackson
There's no breaking the bond of these college sweethearts. "In the beginning, we always said the most revolutionary thing that Black people could do was stay together, raise their children with the nucleus of having a father and a mother, since everybody likes to pretend that that's not the dynamic of the African American family," LaTanya told People in March 2022. "That it's just children out here being raised by women, which we know is false. In order to change that narrative, we made a decision to say, ‘We are going to stay together no matter what. We'll figure it out.'"

And we would do anything for each other."

After meeting during a production of West Side Story in the '60s, this couple continues to savor every moment together with gratitude.
