Kristin Davis’s Complete Dating History
As Charlotte York on Sex and the City, Kristin Davis played a very relationship-oriented character. In her real life, the actress is much more focused on living single and raising her two adopted kids, Gemma and Wilson. During a 2023 Best Friend Energy podcast interview, she explained how she thinks about relationships.
“I’m not married. I’ve never been married. It’s not my thing. I was never focused on it. It was never like a goal, let’s say,” she shared. “I do have friends who have stable marriages, and I look at them and admire what they have, but I don’t necessarily think I’ve ever had that kind of relationship. I don’t know that I necessarily totally intended to [still be single], though I do remember being young and thinking, ‘Why are all these people getting married?’ But I’m an actress—I’ve never exactly been the status quo.”
Davis did say she was raised to expect marriage, with a more conservative upbringing in the South, but she moved to New York City to pursue acting. Her 20s were dedicated to her career and she was on SATC in her 30s.
She added, “I felt rebellious about it. When I was young, I thought that marriage seemed like the patriarchy.”
In an interview with The Times in 2021, Davis shared, “I’m not not dating but I’m not actively dating.” She added, “I’m not interested in the small talk, I find it boring. I just want to cut to the deep stuff, and they don’t always want to do that. And then, I’m just terrible at casual sex.”
Despite her childhood anti-marriage stance, Davis has had a few public romances over the years. Here’s her complete dating history so far.
Davis was linked to actor Alec Baldwin in 2001, and they seemingly dated on-and-off for a few years. But she never spoked much about the relationship until a February 2025 interview on the Literally! With Rob Lowe podcast. First, Davis shared a story about an unnamed actor she dated who broke up with her after she loaned him $5,000. Davis denied that it was Baldwin, before reflecting on the former relationship.
“Alec Baldwin was so rich by the time I dated Alec Baldwin,” Davis said. “One of the best things about Alec Baldwin when I dated him is that he had the most incredible house in Amagansett.”
She continued, “I remember I was at work, and I was like, ‘Sarah Jessica [Parker], I just don’t know if it’s going to work out with Alec and I, but I just really love that house.’ Which is literally one of the only times I have felt that way. Where I don’t want to break up with this person because I love this house.”
She added, “I would have never needed to lend Alec $5,000. Oh my God.”
Davis never named the mooch but said he’s doing fine now.
“I think he still is very hot, he’s married now,” Davis said. “I think it’s definitely someone now everyone thinks he’s hot. The only reason is it’s a mistake is you don’t really want to do that with someone that you date, because it changes the dynamic, and you can’t really ride that ship.”
Around 2003, David was also romantically linked to actor Liev Schreiber but has never said much about the relationship.
That same year, Davis was reportedly dating Homeland actor Damian Lewis.
In 2006, she was linked to basketball star Rick Fox.
Davis started dating writer and director Aaron Sorkin in 2012. In May 2012, a source told E! News, “It’s been going on for around six weeks. They are really happy. They have actually known each other a while through mutual friends and would sometimes bump into one another at industry events, but it has only just turned into something more.”
Davis was Sorkin’s date to the Los Angeles premiere of his show The Newsroom in June 2012, but they split a few weeks later.
“They’re very different people,” a source told In Touch in August 2012, via HuffPost. “She’s focused on raising her daughter, Gemma, and he’s working on his show.”
