‘Sex and the City’ Writer Candace Bushnell Reveals She Briefly Dated 1 of the Show’s Leading Men
Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) wasn’t the only woman romanced by the show’s leading men — Candace Bushnell was once taken out by one of Carrie’s loves.Bushnell, 61, who wrote the 1997 book the HBO series is based on, recalled going out on one date with John Corbett, who played Aidan Shaw. The relationship, however, was shortlived thanks to the author’s mom and her opinion of his onscreen persona.“I did go to dinner with John Corbett,” the author recalled on the Thursday, August 20, episode of “The Bradshaw Boys” podcast.
