Sarah Jessica Parker delights fans as she confirms Aidan return for And Just Like That

Sarah Jessica Parker has confirmed that Aidan Shaw is back for And Just Like That season two.

The 57-year-old said she couldn't keep it a secret anymore that John Corbett, 61 is reprising his Sex and the City role as her character Carrie Bradshaw's ex in the HBO Max reboot.

The actress was talking to Entertainment Tonight when she said she can't be 'cryptic' about the situation anymore.

Addressing the rumours she said: "Could be, could be. Well, you know, I can't be like, cryptic about it anymore."

The character of Aidan was last seen in the 2010 spin-off movie Sex and the City 2, in which he took Carrie (SJP's character) on a dinner date and kissed her, despite her being married to her now-late husband Mr. Big, played by Chris Noth.

It's thought that season two will bring furniture maker Aidan back and he is reportedly set for a 'substantial, multi-episode arc'.

When season one of the Sex And The City sequel was in production last year, John joked that he would be making an appearance in the reboot.

However, fans were disappointed that the actor never appeared in any of the episodes.

But Sarah thought the joke was funny 'It was fun. It was fun for him to say that,' the actress explained on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

She added: "When he actually reached out, very kindly, because he's nothing if not a gentleman, and apologized for doing that as a joke, and then I was like, 'No, no, no, it's a free country first of all."

When talking serious about the show, John said that he would be happy to reprise his role of Aidan.

In an interview with Glamour talking about his previous appearance, he said: "I loved every bit of being involved in it."

He also talked about what he thinks his character would be like now after all these years.

John said: "I feel like Aidan is one of those guys that five years or 10 years from now, he’s probably going to be doing the same thing. I think he would probably be wearing some of the same clothes, working on furniture, and driving an old truck."

No hints have been given away so far as to how Aidan will appear in season two.

When Aidan last appeared in the Sex And The City 2 feature film, he was married to his wife Kathy, and he revealed the couple had three children together.

It's thought that his relationship status will be referenced in the upcoming series.

Other fan favourites will return for the next series including Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) and original stars Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis).
