The Moment
Kim Cattrall is officially off the market again – and she did it the exact opposite of Samantha Jones style.
According to reporting from People magazine and follow-up coverage from Page Six, the 69-year-old Sex and the City icon married her longtime partner, audio engineer Russell Thomas, 55, on December 4 at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London.
The guest list? Just 12 people. That’s it. No massive Manhattan ballroom, no downtown warehouse awash in cosmos – a simple civil ceremony in a historic London building.
Cattrall reportedly wore a white Dior blazer paired with a tulle skirt, finished with classic Cornelia James gloves and a Philip Treacy fascinator – all styled by legendary Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Field. Thomas wore a custom black Richard James suit with a gold tie.
The couple, who met back in 2016, were photographed sharing a quiet kiss on the steps afterward, her holding a bouquet, both looking like they’d just pulled off the happiest heist of their lives: a drama-free celebrity wedding.

The Take
I’ll say it: this might be the most refreshing celebrity wedding we’ve seen in years.
In an era where every engagement gets a six-part docuseries and a sponsored hashtag, Kim Cattrall essentially said, “Actually, I’ll just have love, thanks.” Twelve guests, a town hall, and a look that whispers old-school glamour instead of screaming content opportunity.
What I love most is the energy here. This is her fourth marriage – which, let’s be honest, is exactly the point where the world starts making tired jokes. Instead, she’s moving like a woman who’s finally decided the only audience that matters is the one standing in the room with her.
Think of it this way: if her previous marriages were big studio rom-coms, this one feels like a beautifully written indie film. Smaller budget, way more heart, no test screenings.
Her quotes over the years about Russell line up with that vibe. In a June interview with the Times (U.K.), she called him a rebel who’s lived life on his own terms. In a 2020 chat with People, she called him a “firecracker” with a “wicked sense of humor” and admitted she was just plain comfortable around him. You don’t throw a 200-person spectacle for someone you feel calm and secure with – you slip down to the registry office and get it done.
And having Patricia Field dress her? That’s a delicious little wink to the fans. It’s like she borrowed the Sex and the City fashion fairy godmother, but left the chaos of that universe behind. Samantha Jones would’ve turned the whole thing into an event. Kim Cattrall, meantime, is choosing something rarer in celebrity land: privacy.

Backstory (For Casual Readers)
If you know Kim Cattrall mostly as Samantha Jones – the sharp-tongued PR exec from HBO’s Sex and the City – you also know she became a kind of unofficial patron saint of bold, unapologetic single women. Off-screen, though, her love life has been more complicated and much quieter than her character’s.
Cattrall has been married three times before and has spoken openly about how her priorities shifted over the years, especially as she focused on her career and chose not to have children. Her relationship with Russell Thomas began after they met in 2016; she’s described their nearly decade-long partnership as fun, steady, and on equal footing – two grown-ups who know who they are and what they want.
In recent years, she’s also found herself back in the pop culture conversation thanks to the Sex and the City revival and all the chatter around her limited involvement. Through all of that, Thomas has been a steady presence by her side at events and premieres, even if he’s not exactly chasing the spotlight.
What’s Next
Don’t hold your breath for a wedding reality show or a splashy magazine exclusive; their whole approach here screams no thanks to all that.
What we’re more likely to see:
- More low-key red carpet appearances together, now with “husband” attached to his name in the photo captions.
- Possible comments from Cattrall in future interviews about why she chose such a small ceremony this time around – and what she’s learned from loving in the public eye for decades.
- Subtle stylistic callbacks to Samantha-era fashion via Patricia Field, but with older, wiser Kim steering the ship.
At this stage of her life, this wedding looks less like a fresh start and more like an affirmation of a relationship that’s already been road-tested for almost a decade. No big romantic reinvention. Just a woman who seems to know her own mind, walking into a town hall in London and saying “yes” in front of the very few people who truly need to hear it.
