What are the current ages of the 'And Just Like That...' cast members?
The original Sex and the City aired all the way back in 1998 and ran until 2004. So, it was nearly 20 years after the show ended that And Just Like That... premiered. In that amount of time, people naturally change a lot, and that still rings true even for Hollywood's biggest stars. Here's a list of the cast members of And Just Like That... that overlapped with Sex and the City, their ages (now and when SATC first aired), and if we know their character's age in the show.
Sarah Jessica Parker
When Sex and the City first aired, Sarah Jessica Parker was 33 years old, with a birthday on March 25, 1965. Sarah is currently 56 years old in real life, and her character, Carrie Bradshaw, is 55.
Cynthia Nixon
Back when she took on the role of Miranda Hobbes on Sex and the City, Cynthia Nixon was just 32 years old. Born on April 9,1966, today she is 55, though her character's age has not been revealed.
Kristin Davis
Like Sarah Jessica, Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte York Goldenblatt, was just 33 years old when Sex and the City first aired in 1998. Born on Feb. 23, 1965, she's currently 56 years old. Her character on And Just Like That... is 54.
Chris Noth
When he first took up the role of Mr. Big on Sex and the City, Chris Noth was 43 years old. Just a little more than 23 years later, the star, who was born on Nov. 13, 1954, is currently 67 years old. His character on the show would be 66.
David Eigenberg
David Eigenberg, who plays Steve Brady on Sex and the City, was 34 years old when the show originally aired. Born on May 17, 1964, David is currently 57 years old, though his character's age has not been revealed.
Willie Garson

Upon the release of Sex and the City, Evan Handler, who pla Harry Goldenblatt, was 37 years old. Now, the actor, who was born on Jan. 10, 1961, is currently 60 years old. His character's age hasn't been revealed.
Mario Cantone

As you can see, for the most part, the show remained relatively consistent with the actual ages of the actors and actresses helming the roles. With few exceptions (such as 26-year-old Cathy Ang, who portrays 16-year-old Lily Goldenblatt), it seems like the And Just Like That... creators spent time to ensure that the stars chosen for the show could accurately portray the age range of the characters assigned to them.
