Kristin Davis Addresses Chris Noth Dating Rumors
Originally appeared on E! Online
And just like that, Kristin Davis is setting the record straight about a Big rumor.
After a fan asked her if she dated Chris Noth, who starred alongside her as Mr. Big—love interest of Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw—on Sex and the City and its ongoing sequel series, the actress passionately shut down that speculation.
"No," the 60-year-old commented on her Instagram June 6. "I didnit!!! [sic]"
Dating rumors about Davis—who played Charlotte York Goldenblatt on the HBO franchise—and Noth first swirled in 2000, the year they were photographed looking cozy at the MTV Movie Awards, with the actress even licking her costar's cheek on the red carpet. The speculation resurfaced on Reddit in recent months.
Davis—who did once date Alec Baldwin, who franchise creator Darren Star originally considered for the role of Noth's character—made her comments alongside a clip from the June 2 episode of her SATC rewatch podcast Are You A Charlotte?.
On the show, the Melrose Place alum and Megan Thee Stallion discussed Mr. Big's journey, which ended in season one of And Just Like That in 2022 after the controversial character suffered a fatal heart attack.
"We killed him," Davis said. "He died on the Peloton."

On the show, the Melrose Place alum and Megan Thee Stallion discussed Mr. Big's journey, which ended in season one of And Just Like That in 2022 after the controversial character suffered a fatal heart attack.
"We killed him," Davis said. "He died on the Peloton."
Noth—whose character angered fans when he abandoned Carrie at their wedding in the 2008 Sex and the City movie before reconciling—was due to appear on And Just Like That again after Mr. Big was killed off. But a flashback scene he filmed was scrapped following sexual assault allegations made against the actor, who denied any wrongdoing and was never charged with a crime.
After the accusations were made public in the media, Noth was also dropped from the CBS show The Equalizer and lost deals with both the tequila brand Ambhar Tequila and Peloton. But despite the turmoil, the actor isn't giving up on his career.
"I can't just say 'Well, OK, that's it for me'. I'm an actor. I have other things that I want to do creatively," he told USA Today in 2023. "And I have children to support. I can't just rest on my laurels."
"I have to just continue on," Noth continued. "It's rough, because people are scared, and their fear leads them. And I have to just persevere because I still have a creative life."
As for Davis, you can watch her on season three of And Just Like That, which premiered May 29.
