In an engaging conversation with "E! News," actress Sarah Jessica Parker, aged 60, offered a candid assessment of the complex relationship between her iconic "Sex and the City" character, Carrie Bradshaw, and her on-screen love, Mr. Big, portrayed by Chris Noth, also 70.

"The relationship was chaotic yet wonderful," Parker pointed out, referring to the emotionally charged on-again, off-again bond that captivated viewers for six seasons of the beloved series. The relationship dynamics, a topic that remains heated on social media today, was described by Parker as both "romantic" and "a disaster," acknowledging the relationship's destructive and healthy aspects.

The interaction between the columnist and the businessman, often noted for its toss between toxic patterns and an emotional rollercoaster, has been a subject of criticism by fans and critics alike. However, Parker did not explicitly label the relationship as toxic in her commentary.

A poignant moment for Parker was the portrayal of Mr. Big's sudden heart attack in the first episode of "And Just Like That..." The lead actress found it challenging to act through both a professional and personal loss. "Big's death was hard to depict, both personally and professionally," she admitted. "It's not just a plotline; it's one of the main arteries, without which it's difficult to survive."

As the third season of "And Just Like That..." premieres at the end of May, Carrie, portrayed by Parker, will continue her journey as a widow after her emotional reunion with her old flame Aidan Shaw, played by John Corbett, in the second season.

Reflecting on the conclusion of her time with Big as Carrie's long-term partner, Parker expressed sorrow. "It was sad to part ways with that era," she shared. "But it was a beautiful story we were able to tell for many years."

The upcoming season of the "Sex and the City" spin-off will debut in Germany on Sky and streaming service Wow on May 30. Carrie's voice is heard in the trailer promising new chapters in her life: "Life is a story we can write every day, and when the plot twists, we can choose to start a new chapter."
