Sex and the City Icon Kim Cattrall Surprises With Private Wedding to Russell Thomas

 

Beloved Sex and the City icon Kim Cattrall has officially said “I do” once again, celebrating a beautiful new chapter with her partner of nearly a decade, audio engineer Russell Thomas. The couple exchanged vows in an intimate and lovingly low-key ceremony in London last Thursday.

Surrounded by just a dozen of their nearest and dearest, Cattrall and Thomas were married at the historic Chelsea Old Town Hall. The private gathering reflected the warmth and closeness of a relationship built steadily since their first meeting at the BBC in 2016, when Cattrall appeared on Woman’s Hour to record an essay on insomnia.

Cattrall, 69, known worldwide for her unforgettable portrayal of Samantha Jones, brought her signature elegance to the occasion. Styled by her longtime collaborator and fashion legend Patricia Field, she wore a refined champagne-hued Dior suit paired with delicate Cornelia James lace gloves. A custom Philip Treacy hat, adorned with a flourish of white lattice lace and a soft fabric blossom, completed her timeless bridal look.

Though the ceremony remained under the radar, fans caught an early glimpse of Cattrall’s wedded bliss earlier in the week. Attending the 2025 Fashion Awards with Thomas, 54, the actress appeared to debut her wedding band with a subtle sparkle on the red carpet.

Their love story—modern, unexpected, and deeply grounded—began with a simple direct message from Thomas after her BBC appearance. From there, the connection evolved naturally. A pivotal visit to Cattrall’s home in Vancouver cemented their bond, and the two have been inseparable ever since.

Cattrall has often shared her appreciation for the steady, joyful partnership they’ve built. She has described Thomas as a firecracker with a sharp sense of humor and someone with whom she feels entirely at ease. Their relationship weathered the ultimate test during the pandemic lockdowns, ultimately strengthening their bond as they built a life spanning the UK, the US, and Canada.

The couple’s quiet London wedding marks Cattrall’s fourth marriage—an understated and heartfelt celebration of lasting companionship, mutual respect, and shared laughter.
