Why, Exactly, Is Carrie Bradshaw Living in a Gramercy Park Townhouse?

Why, Exactly, Is Carrie Bradshaw Living in a Gramercy Park Townhouse?

Vogue12-06-2025
Finally, something to live for: And Just Like That…, the Sex and the City sequel most accurately described as a series produced under the influence of a gas leak, has returned to our screens for the summer. I love this show and wait for it all year long, ringing people's doorbells while muttering 'Hey, it's Che Diaz' to myself and having fever dreams about its Lynchian sex scenes (a term that is often misused, but not in this case!). If AJLT ever ends, I will have no choice but to take my own life atop a Peloton in protest; as a friend said to me way back when the pilot aired, this show must go on until we watch them lower Sarah Jessica Parker into her actual grave. In the first episode of the third season, Miranda deflowers a Canadian nun played by Rosie O'Donnell! I didn't know art could reach such towering heights—almost as tall as the doors in Carrie Bradshaw's colossal new Gramercy Park townhouse.
For yes, Carrie has left her famous alcove studio behind, settling in an enormous mansion at 8 Gramercy Park West, just across the street from New York's prettiest and most exclusive little park (in real life, this is the address of an apartment building, and in a vaguely egalitarian twist, one of only two rental buildings that grant residents keys to the gated park itself). She bought the place in the hopes that longtime on-again, off-again love Aidan Shaw would live there with her and his three terrifying sons, only for him to put the relationship on ice to focus on caring for his 14-year-old down on the family farm in Virginia. Actor John Corbett is six feet and five inches tall, but he is still dwarfed by the Gramercy place's impressive doors, at least when he manages to get there. As far as life decisions go, this was not one of Carrie's finest.

Rarely-Seen Pics of 'Sex and the City' Star Shock Fans

Rarely-Seen Pics of 'Sex and the City' Star Shock Fans originally appeared on Parade. As Mr. Big on Sex and the City, Chris Noth was famously averse to the idea of starting a family (or even committing to a relationship at all). But a recent series of rarely-seen pics of the actor in real life prove that the role of "dad" comes naturally to the fans definitely didn't expect to see the oftentimes toxic TV playboy in such a wholesome light. In a video shared to TikTok recently with the caption "Mr. Big as a dad," Noth, now 70, was seen in a number of fatherhood-themed snaps, trick-or-treating, walking down the street with a baby strapped to his chest, on the sidelines at a basketball game, and running on the beach. As Noth shares two sons — Orion and Keats — with his wife, Tara Wilson, it's not clear which of the boys was in each of the photos. What is clear, however, is that commenters were super surprised to see Mr. Big holding a toddler's hand while dressed up as Buzz Lightyear. "This was not on my bingo card but ok," one person wrote, with a second adding, "I never thought I'd see that." "With anyone else but not with Carrie," another SATC fan lamented. "Carrie must be punching the air," somebody agreed, though someone else was quick to point out that "tbf Carrie didn't want children." "I'm sure she would've wanted them if she saw Natasha with Big's children," yet another commenter argued. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Are You A Charlotte Podcast (@areyouacharlottepodcast) While Noth's personal life continues to be the subject of speculation (Mr. Big was killed off the SATC sequel And Just Like That in the first season following offscreen allegations of sexual assault), one rumor was recently put to rest by former co-star Kristin Davis, who responded to rumors that she dated Noth in an Instagram post on June 6, writing, "No I didn't!!!"Rarely-Seen Pics of 'Sex and the City' Star Shock Fans first appeared on Parade on Aug 5, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 5, 2025, where it first appeared.

Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor's Daughter Ella Makes AJLT Debut

Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor's Daughter Ella Makes AJLT Debut Originally appeared on E! Online There's something about Ella Stiller following in her parents' footsteps. Indeed, the 23-year-old daughter of Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor made an appearance on the July 31 episode of And Just Like That, playing Mia, the pregnant girlfriend of Niall Cunningham's Brady Hobbes. Her debut in the Sex and the City universe comes more than 20 years after her paternal grandmother Anne Meara played Steve's mother Mary during the original show's fifth season. But as she's just the latest Stiller to enter the acting world—her grandfather was Jerry Stiller—her dad is more than ready to welcome Ella and her brother Quinlin Stiller, 20, to set. 'Both my kids are actors and not really kids anymore,' Ben, 59 age, told E! News in November. 'And they're both really good, so it'd be fun to work with them. I have done a couple of little things with them, but I'd love to. It'd be really fun.' What's more, the Severance producer's dream is to be cast in his children's future projects. 'I think eventually they'll probably be directing and producing stuff that I'll be asking them to cast me in,' he continued. 'That's how it goes.' More from E!

No stranger to sharing insight into their family life, Ben and Christine, 54, have been open about how they found their way back together while quarantining during the COVID pandemic, more than three years after their 2017 separation. 'When we were separated, it was just having space to see what our relationship was, what my life felt like when we weren't in that relationship, how much I loved our family unit,' Ben shared with the New York Times in January 2023. 'It was like three or four years that we weren't together, but we were always connected. In my mind, I never didn't want us to be together.'
