On that episode (SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THE THIRD EPISODE YET!), Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) attends the reading of Big’s will and learns that he’s bequeathed $1 million to Natasha—despite the fact that, as far as Carrie knows, Big (Chris Noth) and Natasha (Bridget Moynahan) weren’t in touch. Carrie is almost made crazy by this revelation and starts stalking Natasha by email, on Instagram, and ultimately, at her office. Natasha stonewalls Carrie repeatedly, only to accidentally run into her at an Upper West Side coffee shop. There, Natasha says she doesn’t know why Big left her the money, she doesn’t want it and she hadn’t talked to him since their divorce. In turn, Carrie suggests that maybe the money was his way of telling Natasha that he was sorry for what he’d done to her and put her through. But what, exactly, did Big put her through? If you’re a little fuzzy on your SATC history and couldn’t help but wonder what Big did to Natasha and why Big and Natasha got married in the first place, then keep reading for a refresher on Big and Natasha’s relationship timeline on Sex and the City.
How did Big and Natasha meet on Sex and the City?
In SATC’s penultimate Season 2 episode, “Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something Women,” Carrie and her girlfriends travel out to the Hamptons and attend a swanky party on the beach that was planned by one of Samantha’s former PR assistants. There, Carrie unexpectedly spots Big canoodling with a gorgeous, twenty-something girl—even though they had broken up earlier in the season because Big had to relocate to Paris for work. “Hi, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ve heard so much about you,” Natasha tells a stunned Carrie. A moment later, Big explains to Carrie how he and Natasha met. “She’s this girl that I met in Paris. She works for Ralph Lauren in Europe,” he says. When Carrie asks Big how old Natasha is, Big replies, “I don’t know… 26, 27.”
