  • It’s not just the 4 leading ladies, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall, who saw their careers changed with the show – so did the men, from John Corbett to David Eigenberg
  • Chris Noth later starred in The Good Wife, earning him a Golden Globe nomination – but he was later accused of sexual assault and was dropped by his agency

Sex and the City – the show that defined an era with its bold take on relationships, fashion and city life – celebrated its 26th birthday last week. From the cocktails and conversation to the heartthrobs and heartbreaks, the show wasn’t just about the fab four, but also about the unforgettable men who stole their hearts.

The show’s male cast grabbed just as much attention as the four leading ladies of the HBO hit – Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall. From Chris Noth to John Corbett and beyond, here is what the actors have been up to since the series’ six-season run and two movies – with some still making an appearance in the ongoing sequel series, And Just Like That.

Before playing Carrie’s on-again-off-again beau Aidan Shaw, John Corbett was already a star, snagging an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his role on the 90s television series Northern Exposure.

On SATC, Aidan’s relationship with Carrie was a roller coaster marked by a broken engagement and a fling with Mr Big. After the show, Corbett shone in movies like My Big Fat Greek Wedding and series like Parenthood.

But he’s not only an actor – he’s also a country singer with two albums, and he’s lived with his wife, Bo Derek, since 2002, per Us Weekly.

After SATC, the two-time Golden Globe nominee, best known for his role as Mr Big – Carrie’s charismatic but commitment-phobic boyfriend on the show – starred as Peter Florrick on The Good Wife and appeared in shows like Tyrant and Gone.
