NEED TO KNOW
Kristin Davis is clearing up decades-old rumors.
The Sex and the City and And Just Like That… star clarified in an Instagram comment on Friday, June 6, that she and her costar, Chris Noth, never dated.
Davis, 60, currently hosts the Are You A Charlotte? podcast, where she chats all things Sex and the City with guests, including Megan Thee Stallion on the Monday, June 2 episode. The 30-year-old musician has notably shared her distaste for Noth’s character, Mr. Big, Carrie Bradshaw’s on-and-off again love interest through the series and films.
On Friday, June 6, Davis shared a clip of her discussion with the Grammy winner, who said, “I’m not pro-Big. I hate Big.”
But one follower commented, “Maam didn’t you date him??”
Davis retorted and finally put to rest the rumors that have swirled about her and Noth. “No i didnit!!!”
The Instagram user thanked Davis for her candor. “omg I have been lied to thank you for setting me straight!! i even googled this and there are several links saying you did i swear i didn’t make this up.”

Davis starred as Charlotte, alongside Noth, 70, and Sarah Jessica Parker. She was one of Carrie’s three best friends, along with Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall).
During Megan Thee Stallion’s appearance on Davis’ podcast, the rapper asked if Big (a.k.a. John James Preston) was a part of the Sex and the City spinoff, And Just Like That…
“Something happened to him,” Davis said with a knowing smile, before asking, “Should I ask her? I don’t want to ruin it for you.”
“Tell me,” the musician said, and Davis very quietly whispered, “He died,” leaving the singer shocked with her mouth agape.
In the And Just Like That… premiere in 2021, Carrie and Mr. Big are in wedded bliss, only for their happiness to come to an abrupt halt when Big suffers a fatal heart attack after a 45-minute ride on his at-home Peloton bike.

Shortly after the episode aired, Noth was accused of sexually assaulting multiple women, which he denied.
Davis, Parker and Nixon issued a joint statement: “We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth.” The statement continued: “We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.”
In an August 2023 interview with USA Today, he maintained that his only transgression was cheating on his wife, Tara Wilson. Noth denied the other allegations, calling what he termed the “add-ons” to the women’s stories “completely ridiculous” with “absolutely no basis in fact.”
