Carrie ultimately ends up with Mr. Big in the original Sex and the City series and movies, but in the newer sequel series And Just Like That… she ends up essentially with herself – choosing her own independence and self- love rather than a final romantic partner.

Quick Scoop

In the original Sex and the City TV show, Carrie and Big get their “happily ever after.”

By the end of the HBO series finale and especially the two movies, Carrie and John “Mr. Big” Preston are together, married, and positioned as each other’s great love.

Years later, the sequel series And Just Like That… changes that end point. Big dies early in the revival, and Carrie spends multiple seasons grieving, dating again, and revisiting old relationships like Aidan.

In the final episode, she doesn’t ride off into the sunset with any man. Instead:

  • She turns away from the idea that a partner will “complete” her.
  • Her closing narration emphasizes that “she was not alone — she was on her own,” underlining that she’s chosen her own company as enough.
  • The showrunner has explicitly said Carrie was always meant to end up with herself, not with a new Mr. Right.

So if you’re asking:

  • End of the original show/movies: Carrie ends up with Mr. Big.
  • End of the latest series (And Just Like That…): Carrie ends up with no fixed partner – just herself.
