And Just Like That..., the beloved star of the hit series, Chris Noth, isn’t just a Golden Globe nominee and Hollywood icon—he’s also a proud dad of two boys, Orion and Keats. Chris, best known for his roles as Mr. Big in Sex and the City and as a detective in Law & Order, has had quite the career resurgence in 2021. But when the cameras stop rolling, Chris heads home to his family, where his real-life story continues with his wife, Tara Wilson, and their two sons. Together, they’ve shared glimpses of their life on social media, giving fans a peek into their growing family.
How Chris Met Tara: A Love Story That Began in New York
The journey of Chris and Tara began way back in 2002, long before the cameras ever caught their love story. Tara Wilson was working at Chris Noth’s bar and performance space, The Cutting Room, located in the heart of New York City. It was there that fate brought them together, and the rest, as they say, is history. In January 2008, the couple welcomed their first son, Orion, marking the beginning of their family life. Chris, who has always been open about his experiences, shared his initial thoughts on fatherhood after Orion’s birth.
"Being with him is very fulfilling, very amazing," Chris told People magazine back in February 2008. And let’s not forget the not-so-glamorous side of parenting—he joked about the challenges of changing diapers, saying, "We’re getting some help, but we’re dealing with it!" It’s moments like these that remind us that even Hollywood stars are just regular parents at heart.

From Love to Marriage: A Hawaiian Fairytale
Just one year after becoming a father, Chris took the next big step in his relationship with Tara. He proposed, and the couple tied the knot in a beautiful Hawaiian ceremony in 2012. Their wedding was a celebration of love, family, and commitment. Even little Orion, who was just four years old at the time, played an adorable role as the ring bearer. It was a magical day filled with laughter, tears, and the promise of a lifetime together.
Fast forward to September 2019, when Chris, then 64 years old, announced that he and Tara were expecting their second child. This news came as a delightful surprise to fans who had watched the couple’s family grow over the years. Chris’ onscreen wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, couldn’t have been more thrilled. In a September 2019 interview with Access, Sarah spoke glowingly about Chris’ role as a father. "Chris loves being a parent," she said. "I’m very happy for him and Tara—they’re crazy about their son, Orion."
Welcoming Keats: A Heavenly Addition to the Family
In February 2020, Tara gave birth to the couple’s second son, Keats. Chris shared the joyous news with his Instagram followers, writing, "Down from the heavens comes our second son—Keats!" The poetic reference to John Keats, the famous Romantic poet, hinted at the inspiration behind the baby’s name. Chris’ Sex and the City costars, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis, were among the first to congratulate him on the arrival of his new baby. Since Keats’ birth, Chris has continued to share heartwarming photos of himself spending time with both of his sons, capturing the essence of family life.
A Red Carpet Reunion: Chris and Tara Together Again

They posed for photos at the premiere of And Just Like That…, held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City—the very place where they first met. It was a full-circle moment, celebrating not only Chris’ career resurgence but also the enduring love and partnership that has defined their lives together.
