Kim Cattrall Is Married! Meet Her New Husband, Russell Thomas, As The Couple Ties The Knot In London
Kim Cattrall is a married woman again! The Sex in the City alum, 69, is officially stepping into a new chapter with her long-time beau, British audio engineer Russell Thomas, 55. After several past marriages and heartbreaks, Cattrall appears to have finally found lasting love. By marrying Russell, she has sealed a relationship that has grown strong and steady for nearly a decade.
Kim and Russell’s intimate London wedding, which took place on December 4, 2025, in a small ceremony, was kept hush-hush, with only 12 guests in attendance. The couple has always preferred intimacy over grandiose gestures, and their personal vows were enough proof of the grounded nature of the relationship.
Please don’t get fooled by their ages! Kim and Russell’s love story is as modern as it gets for new-age couples. From social media follows and sliding into DMs, to Russell flying to Vancouver to see his lady love, the pair has done it all. Here’s everything you need to know about the British gentleman who won the actress’s heart.

Kim and Russell’s wedding was exclusively covered by PEOPLE, and photos from the ceremony were enough to prove the understated elegance of it all, from the couple’s outfits to the romantic setting. For her wedding day, Kim looked gorgeous in a tailored Dior suit by Patricia Field, complete with Cornelia James gloves and a custom Philip Treacy hat.
On the other hand, the groom, Thomas, looked crisp in a custom suit by Richard James, reflecting his understated sophistication. The pair exchanged vows, shared a kiss on the steps of the venue, and looked blissfully in sync as their closest friends and family looked on.
Who is Kim Cattrall’s new husband, Russell Thomas?
Unlike his celebrity wife, Russell Thomas is no celebrity and prefers to keep his private life out of the media glare. Born in Kent, England, he spent years working behind the scenes as an audio engineer for the BBC. Before that, he’d even pursued acting, which Cattrall has said adds to his charm and makes him “a firecracker” with a “wicked sense of humour.”
Despite being 14 years younger than Kim, age never became a factor in their relationship. For those living under the rocks, their love story dates back to 2016, when their paths crossed in the BBC studio where Thomas had been working as an audio engineer, and Kim was appearing on Woman’s Hour. They had an instant connection on that first meet, and soon they were following each other on Twitter (now X). Just like a typical modern-day romance, Russell slid into the Sex in the City actress’s DMs one day, and they started talking. In a 2018 Glamour interview, Cattrall said:
“He direct messaged me. It was very, very modern [and] it’s just been very easy.”
The couple first bonded over their shared British roots, and things fell into place without them even realising it. Eventually, Thomas took what Cattrall once called a ‘brave’ leap of faith and flew to Vancouver to visit her. They clicked immediately and never looked back.
Kim and Russell’s modern romance, which sweetened with time
When Kim and Russell met, something clicked instantly, and distance never stood a chance. Their relationship began long-distance, yet they stayed closely connected. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it unexpectedly became a turning point, taking their relationship to the next level.
When COVID happened, Cattrall and Thomas decided to quarantine together at the actress’s house in Vancouver, Canada. This was the turning point in their relationship, and Cattrall says that returning to Canada felt like coming home. In a 2020 interview with PEOPLE, the actress shared:
“From the beginning, [Russ] and I felt like we needed to get out of town, so we came up to my house in Canada. The mountains, the orcas, when I was a teenager, I didn’t appreciate it. But now, they’re bringing me back.”
Cattrall has always described her connection with Thomas as “easy” and “meaningful”, one that’s intentional and rooted in real effort. During an appearance on the Modern Love podcast with The New York Times in 2023, the Sensitive Skin star explained that keeping a relationship thriving takes work, but it’s all “good work” when one has the right person. She shared:
“It’s not easy. People feel that it’s something that happens, and you’re lucky. Luck is where preparation meets an opportunity. And you meet this person, and the work is just begun, but it’s not a negative kind of work. This is good work.”
This is Kim Cattrall’s fourth marriage
Kim Cattrall hasn’t had the best luck with relationships and marriages. The actress had been married three times before, all of which ended in divorce. Her first husband was Canadian writer Larry Davis, whom she married in 1977 and annulled in 1979. Cattrall’s second husband was Andre J. Lyson, a Polish-born architect and real estate investor, whom she married in 1982 and officially divorced in 1989.
In 1988, Kim got married for the third time, to Mark Levinson, an American audio engineer and jazz musician. The marriage lasted six years, and the couple parted ways in 2004. She stayed single for years until she fell in love with her now-husband, Russell Thomas. The actress has spoken often about how different it feels this time.
After nearly a decade together, Kim says she and Russell have “had a blast” and still find joy in every moment. He brings her calm, humour, and a hint of rebellion, and she’s excited to begin this new chapter as husband and wife.
