Chris Noth has sparked fresh conversation around his relationship with former Sex and the City co-star Sarah Jessica Parker after a brief but pointed interaction on social media that many fans quickly picked up on.
The moment has reignited long-standing rumours of tension between the two actors, especially given its timing.
On Friday, Noth shared a photo of himself working out at the gym on Instagram, captioning it with an expletive-filled message about the new year.
While the post initially appeared to be about motivation and energy, one comment shifted the tone.
A fan replied by jokingly asking whether his caption was actually aimed at Parker and her recent award recognition.
Noth’s response was short but striking, as he replied with a single word: “Right.”
The comment came just one day after Parker was honoured with the 2026 Carol Burnett Award on Jan. 7, ahead of the main Golden Globes ceremony at the Beverly Hilton.
The exchange stood out because of the long professional history between Noth, 71, and Parker, 60.
The two famously played love interests on HBO’s Sex and the City for six seasons starting in 1998 and later reunited for the franchise’s two films released in 2008 and 2010.
Noth also briefly returned as Mr. Big in the sequel series And Just Like That…, which premiered in December 2021.
Despite their shared success, Noth has not been publicly associated with Parker or several other cast members in recent years.
In past interviews, Parker has acknowledged that she has not been in contact with him for a long time.
Reports have also suggested that Noth has felt excluded from the group, a claim he has previously dismissed as untrue.
Adding to speculation, Noth appeared to subtly stir the pot last year when he publicly wished Kim Cattrall a happy birthday.
He was reportedly the only main cast member to do so, a move that caught attention given the well-documented tension between Cattrall and Parker.
Noth’s latest comment may have been brief, but it has once again placed his relationship with Parker under the spotlight, leaving fans revisiting the complicated dynamics behind one of television’s most iconic casts.
