What is Chris Noth doing today?
Current public appearances
- Noth has largely retreated from public life since December 2021. His last high-profile acting credit was the And Just Like That episode aired in December 2021, after which his character was killed off. (PBS NewsHour (public media news))
- CBS dropped him from The Equalizer immediately after the allegations. (PBS NewsHour)
Recent podcast activity
- Noth relaunched his Beyond the Bar podcast in February 2023. (Variety)
- In podcast episodes, he has discussed the allegations, calling them “salacious” and “not true.” (USA Today)
An actor whose entire career was built on playing charming, powerful men now finds that the same persona that made him famous is the one that, in the public narrative, undid him.
Is Chris Noth friends with Sarah Jessica Parker?
Reported status of friendship
- People magazine reported in 2026 that Noth detailed a “hurtful friendship fallout” with Sarah Jessica Parker after the allegations. (People)
- Multiple entertainment sources from 2022 onward have indicated the two are no longer close. (USA Today)
Parker’s public comments
- Sarah Jessica Parker has not publicly addressed the friendship with Noth directly, but she confirmed that the cast supported the accusers in a statement released shortly after the allegations. (The Hollywood Reporter)
The implication: The rift appears permanent. No public reconciliation has occurred, and Noth himself has described the break as painful.
What has Kristin Davis said about Chris Noth?
Kristin Davis addresses dating rumors
- Davis explicitly denied any romantic involvement with Noth, stating: “We are just friends, nothing more.” (Katie Couric Media (news and interview platform))
Kristin Davis statement on allegations
- Shortly after the allegations broke, Davis expressed support for the accusers and said she believed them. (The Hollywood Reporter)
The pattern: Davis has been the most vocal of Noth’s former co-stars in distancing herself personally and professionally.
Davis’s statements carry weight because she played Noth’s love interest on Sex and the City — the on-screen chemistry that fans adored now stands in direct contrast to her off-screen position.
What did Chris Noth say about Kim Cattrall?
Noth’s comments on Cattrall’s feud with Parker
- In a 2023 podcast appearance, Noth described the long-running feud between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker as “sad and uncomfortable for everyone.” (Variety)
Context of Cattrall’s departure from SATC
- Cattrall has not filmed any scenes for And Just Like That, and Noth’s comment was seen as an attempt to sympathise with both sides without taking a firm stance. (People)
The catch: Noth’s remark places him as a neutral observer, but given his own fallout with Parker, it reads as a reflection of his own strained relationship rather than genuine insight into Cattrall’s.
Is Chris Noth’s wife still with him?
Current marital status
- Tara Wilson and Chris Noth remain married as of 2024. They have two sons together, Orion and Keats. (Entertainment Weekly (entertainment news magazine))
Public statements from wife
- Wilson has not made any public statements about the allegations. The couple has been seen together in New York on rare occasions since 2021. (Parade (pop culture website))
What this means: Unlike many high-profiled allegation cases, Noth’s marriage has remained intact — at least publicly. Wilson’s silence may indicate a desire to keep the family out of the spotlight.
