Kim Cattrall is one of the most beloved stars in Sex and The City. Despite her fame, the actress managed to keep her personal life away from the spotlight, and most fans didn't know she has been dating for years now! Although the actress sometimes shares pictures of the couple on social media, she hardly talks about it.
Last month, she opened up about it for the first time. And it is great to see she found the perfect match and she is overwhelmed with joy. Here is everything we know about her relationship so far.
10 They Met In London
Kim Cattrall and Rusell Thomas met in London when he worked on BBC. It is unclear what was Rusell's position at the broadcaster, but they had a connection straight away, and they went to a few dates while the Sex and the City star was in the city.
Cattrall didn't have high expectations since they lived in different countries. However, she was wrong, and the couple has been together for four years now. Sometimes having low expectations can result in great surprises.

"We kind of liked each other, we kept in touch, and then he came out to Vancouver," Cattrall said. "It was very brave of him because we didn't really know each other other than having a few meals together. But he came, and we got along great, and we've been together ever since!"
Catrall didn't reveal how long Thomas stayed in Canada. But it was long enough for them to realize it was not just a fling.
8 Age Gap Has Never Been A Problem
Kim Catrall made an Instagram post this year celebrating Rusell Thomas's 50th birthday. There is a 14-year gap between the couple, but Cattrall never cared about it. In 2010, journalists asked her if she saw a problem that her characters were often involved with younger men. She had the best answer. "No, not at all. He's so gorgeous and adorable. At a certain age, people merge, don't they?" she said.
Catrall also said that she doesn't think in those terms anymore. "Maybe I've lived longer and done more things, but I don't see a difference on stage. Some of the lines might have a different significance because of my age, but that adds richness," she added.

Kim Cattrall is discrete, and she doesn't like to share information about her love life. Since she ended her relationship with Alan Wyse, in 2009, the fans have never seen the star with a new boyfriend on the red carpet or in other events.

Kim Cattrall and Russell Thomas had to make a quick decision when the borders started to close in 2020. The couple decided to stay in Canada, and they have been together in the country since then. "From the beginning, [Russ] and I felt like we needed to get out of town, so we came up to my house in Canada," she said.
The actress still has a place in New York, but it seems that she would have more space in Vancouver. Her mother lives there, so she also wanted to be close in case something happened. Another good thing about their decision is that they are near nature. There is a lake in front of her house, and there are areas where she could walk near nature.

The couple seems perfect together, and it seems they have no plans to add another family member. In the past, Kim Cattrall said that she chose not having children because of her insane routine while filming Sex and The City. "It was the first moment—it was extraordinary—in my life where I thought, Maybe I'm just not going to do this," she told Glamour.
The actress doesn't have a problem with that. "I thought, I have a place to be a mom here, not a biological mom but a mom and an auntie and a friend," she added.
1 "He Checks Every Box"
Kim Cattrall seems to be more in love than ever. In September, she told in an interview that Russell Thomas checks every box of what she is looking for. "What I love about us at this moment is we have a connection… There are elements of art and war, but in a very loving way, so yes, it checks every box I've ever had and then some, so we're real good," she detailed.
It seems that we are going to see them together for a long time.
