A Southern belle, Kristin Davis was told growing up that she should get married as soon as possible. "All everyone talked about was marriage," Davis said at a 2008 screening of the Sex and the City film (via People). "But all I wanted was to move to New York and do theater. And in my thirties, I was busy doing [SATC] so I just didn't have time."
While Davis did tease that she was open to the idea of marriage, in 2019, the Labor of Love host told Jada Pinkett Smith on Red Table Talk that by her late 30s, she knew she wanted to become a mother, even without a partner by her side. "I still felt like there was a child out there that I needed to find that was my child," Davis said, adding, "It was a spiritual kind of thing."
Davis adopted her daughter Gemma in 2011 and son Wilson in 2018. Both of her children are Black. "I work ... every day trying to figure out how I can make sure they have access to the Black community, that they're part of it, that they're not separated from it," Davis continued.
So, what about Mr. Right? Well, Davis has previously been linked to Billions star Damian Lewis, writer-producer Aaron Sorkin and fashion photographer Russell James. "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 teased to ABC News. Cheers to singledom!
