From horror dates to a fairytale that seemed too good to be true, Carrie Bradshaw's boyfriends were the leitmotiv of the Sex and the City. Here our top 10 ranking of Carrie Bradshaw's best boyfriends will refresh your memory.

After the announcement of the new <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/Sex-And-The-City-spin-off-confirmed">&quot;Sex And The City&quot;</a> <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/Sex-And-The-City-spin-off-confirmed">reboot</a> , the departure of <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/woman/sara-jessica-parker-interview-with-lofficiel">&quot;Samantha Jones&quot;</a> played by Kim Catrall still resonates. A Sex and the City insider has finally dropped how Samantha Jones&#39;s absence will be brought on board in the upcoming reboot - and it&#39;s not as dramatic as we - fans of the first hour - expect.

&quot;Friendships fade and new friendships start. So I think it&#39;s all very normal in reality, the real stages of life,&quot; the HBO insider told TVLine. &quot;They&#39;re trying to tell an honest story about a 50-year-old woman in New York. So it all has to feel a bit realistic, and the friends you have when you&#39;re 30 you might not have when you&#39;re 50.&quot;

Rather than writing Kim Catrall&#39;s character from the script with a freak accident or an unexpected death, it looks like the group&#39;s fourth lady is just going to be unfriended. HBO&#39;s revelation may be relentless, but it has reassured fans about one important aspect: Samantha will not and cannot be replaced.

All said and done, to ease the pain, L&#39;Officiel dives into Carrie Bradshaw&#39;s archive, more specifically the records from her dating life. Who is hanging around after all these years, who deserved to be dumped, and who would we give another chance, taking into account the current zeitgeist of 2021? We figured it out for you and made a ranking of Carrie Bradshaw&#39;s most memorable exes.

10. Bill Kelley aka The Politician

Starting with the very last place, number 10: Carrie&#39;s most misogynistic ex across all seasons has to be Bill Kelley , the politician aka the weirdo who expected certain things from Carrie in the bedroom that made her very uncomfortable. Additional reasons for Bill&#39;s nomination: He didn&#39;t understand Carrie&#39;s feelings, he had a tantrum when she didn&#39;t want to dance to his tune, and on top of that, he tried to make it look like she was the one in the relationship acting inappropriately. We were very relieved when Carrie used him as an inspiration for an article. At the very least, she benefited from him.

Carrie was almost spotted at Jack Berger &#39;s side for a while, compared to the negligible time she spent with some of the other men on this list. But that&#39;s not to say this ex was worth her time. Of course he was funny and they had a lot in common, but that&#39;s where it ends. The bottom line is that Jack Berger couldn&#39;t handle Carrie&#39;s success. We fully understand that seeing your book flop while your girlfriend is a star author in the making is no windfall. But Jack couldn&#39;t quite vent his emotions in a healthy way and nearly knocked her over with his bike and then dumped Carrie via a post-it. Carrie survived the break - thank god.

Dr. Bradley Meego looked very promising. He even offered Carrie a retreat in the Hamptons when Charlotte had an STD. But then she met Big and Natasha at a party and Dr. Meego out of her mind.

Honorable seventh place: Carrie and Jeremy were high school sweethearts who found each other again. Could it be any more romantic? And actor David Duchovny also charmed all viewers on their screen. Unfortunately, it turned out that Jeremy was a patient in a mental institution at the time and for practical reasons a relationship did not seem steady.

When Carrie met Aleksandr Petrovsky , he was everything she ever dreamed of. He showered her with love like Big never had. He read her poems and even serenaded her (oh my god). If he hadn&#39;t slapped her on the face on their last night in Paris, we would have ranked him much higher. Petrovsky was a romantic workaholic, &nbsp; he was always honest about how important his career was to him. But whether an accident or not, a slap in Carrie&#39;s face is not done.

After a lot of dates with unsuitable candidates and weirdos, Carrie met Ben in Central Park where the spark immediately caught on. Ben seemed like a decent man, kind, courteous, generous, and down to earth. Carrie had been well on her way to a long and happy life with Ben, hadn&#39;t been rummaging through his things ...

We do know that Carrie could never have been a match with Ray King . He just had too much energy and a constant lack of attention. But he had so much to swoon over. Ray was talented, interesting, charming, and had that rare, intense chemistry with Carrie. Besides, he was just very attractive and his tricks in the bedroom were - in Carrie&#39;s opinion - to write home about. How often does that all happen at once, in one man?

Carrie had screwed up with Joe, the handsome, rich, famous Yankee player of New York. And all because she wasn&#39;t over Big. But that wasn&#39;t Joe, as he was a real catch among the New York single men. Do you understand? Baseball? Catch? Carrie thought it was a fun play on words, unfortunately no more than that.

Mr. Big was never the perfect man for Carrie, and had he been more consistent in his stubbornness, he probably wouldn&#39;t have ended up with her. But eventually he came to his senses and realized that she was important to him and that he wanted to give himself fully to her. Therefore, and also because of his brave trip to Paris to save her there, we must give him the credits. For most of the series, however, Big is one of Carrie&#39;s baddest boyfriends , despite his hypnotic charm and sense of humor. It is mainly his efforts at the finish line of the story (no matter how unrealistic they sound) that pull us over: Big still gets a creditable second place.

Aidan aka perfection, especially after he left his hippie looks behind and turned into a handsome, rugged yet sophisticated hunk. No one cared about Carrie (or tolerated her BS) more than he did. He was selfless, loving, and forgiving. He&#39;s the kind of boyfriend everyone is after these days, only Carrie didn&#39;t see that. If you ask us, thank god he and Carrie didn&#39;t end up together because he deserved better. Aidan will forever remain number one of all Carrie&#39;s exes, and also the absolute number one in our hearts.
