Sarah Jessica Parker Reflects On Carrie And Big’s Troubled Romance In ‘And Just Like That...’

When you look up the definition of a “toxic relationship,” you might just find a photo of Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big.

Across six seasons, two movies and now a revival (“And Just Like That…”), “Sex and the City” fans watched as Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Big (Chris Noth) danced between desire and dysfunction, heartbreak and reunion.

And just like that, Parker reflected on the enduring messiness of that iconic on-screen relationship in an interview with E! News published Tuesday.

“All of it was a mess, and all of it was wonderful,” she said. “It was romantic, and it was a disaster. It was destructive, and it was healthy.”

The relationship may have ended with a wedding — and then, heartbreakingly, with Big’s death in the first season of the reboot — but it was never simple. Parker also admitted the loss wasn’t easy to portray.

“Big dying was really, really hard to do both professionally and personally,” she shared. “That’s not just a thread. It’s one of the main arteries that you would struggle to do without.”

While Parker called it “sad to say goodbye” to that chapter of her character’s life, she described the arc as a “wonderful story to tell for a lot of years.”

In an April interview on “Today With Jenna & Friends,” Parker was asked if she had ever second-guessed any of Carrie’s choices.

Her answer? A simple “No.”

“It’s been such a sort of extraordinary experience,” she explained. “I try to describe it as being contractually obligated to play somebody else, be somebody else, for about 27 years.”
