If you’ve been wondering what the yummy John Corbett has been up to since his character, Aidan the sensitive furniture maker, was dumped by Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City,” don’t shed too many tears for him. John has been shacking up with Bo Derek, whom he met on a blind date in 2002. The couple has kept their relationship very low key over the years, but Bo finally discussed their life together in a recent interview.
Bo Derek has broken her silence over her relationship with Sex And The City star John Corbett, describing their love as ‘a gigantic bonus’.
The 10 actress, 51, was widowed in 1998 when her husband, film director John Derek died of heart disease.
After five years alone, Derek started dating former Northern Exposure actor Corbett in 2002 after they met on a blind date.
The pair soon moved in together and are now sharing a 10-acre ranch in Santa Ynez, California.
The animal rights advocate has open the doors of the couple’s ranch in the new issue of Hello! magazine and describes how she found happiness again after coming to terms with the death of John.
She tells the magazine: ‘I was alone for five years. Having a love is a gigantic bonus in life, but I wasn’t unhappy when I was single, either.’
Speaking of Corbett, who is four years her junior, Derek enthused: ‘He’s just fun, so much fun. I’m very happy now.’
From the few photos I’ve seen of John and Bo together, I must say they really look great together. I am more than a little envious of Bo – first of all, there is no way she looks anywhere near 51 years old, and she swears she’s never had plastic surgery, although she wouldn’t rule it out. Second, she gets to snuggle up to that giant hunk every night. As far as I’m concerned, John was the real “Mr. Big” of Sex and the City.
