‘Sex and the City’ Rumor Put to Rest: Kristin Davis Never Dated Chris Noth
Kristin Davis spent decades of her life portraying Charlotte York on Sex and the City. The beloved character helped ground her friend group with her optimistic outlook on love, and while Charlotte always held out hope that Mr. Big would be the man Carrie needed, Davis recently revealed she wasn’t always on Team Big herself. The admission shocked fans. The comment led to another surprising reveal. For years, rumors have swirled that Kristin Davis and Chris Noth, the actor who played Mr. Big, had an off-screen romance thanks to some cozy and playful photos that continue to circulate. Kristin Davis insists it never happened. She has been wrongly linked to other men, too.
Kristin Davis says she never dated Chris Noth
Kristin Davis might have left Charlotte York behind when And Just Like That… wrapped its third season, but she’s been talking about her time as Charlotte on her podcast, Are You a Charlotte? In most episodes, she’s offered a ton of behind-the-scenes information to fans and even chatted about her character’s backstory. However, in June, she actually dished about her real life and the rumors surrounding it.
During one episode, Davis and Megan Thee Stallion dished on their feelings about Carrie Bradshaw’s romance with the aloof financier, Mr. Big. She and Megan agreed that they didn’t care for Big as Carrie’s lover. The confession led to some backlash for Davis. One fan took to Instagram to question Davis, saying, “Ma’am, didn’t you date him?” Davis was quick to set the record straight. She responded to a fan’s incredulous comment about her dating Chris Noth, insisting, “I didn’t!”
It’s easy to see why people would assume they dated. There are several photos of Davis and Noth posed in a pretty cozy manner. There are playful shots of her cuddling up to him, and even a few cheeky images of her pretending to lick him. The co-stars sure looked friendly enough to be romantic off-set.
Who has Kristin Davis dated?
While Kristin Davis dismissed rumors that she and Chris Noth had a real-life romance, she has had a couple of high-profile relationships. Davis has never been married, but she did date Alec Baldwin in the late 1990s. While Davis never spoke publicly about the relationship at the time, they were spotted together several times in New York City. She did discuss the romance more recently, noting that she really loved his beach house.
Davis dated Alan Sorkin in more recent years. The duo took their romance public in June 2012 after a couple of months of dating. Davis accompanied Sorkin to the premiere of The Newsroom as their first public outing. The romance didn’t last long. She and Sorkin reportedly split a couple of months later.
Davis has also been linked to Rick Fox and told a story about an up-and-coming actor who ghosted her after she lent him money. She said he went on to become very successful. While she didn’t name names, fans strongly suspect she might have been referring to Liev Schreiber. Davis has never shot down the guess.
She was mistakenly linked to Steve Martin at one point, too. She discussed the tabloid fodder during an interview, insisting that Martin was already dating Anne Stringfield at the time. Martin and Stringfield have been married since 2007.
