Previously, inSex and the Cityand its film companions, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) learns that Aidan is married to a woman named Kathy, and they have three children—Tate, Homer and Wyatt. But until now, we'd never met this mystery woman.

Now, with Carrie and Aidan's romantic rekindling (following his divorce to Kathy), viewers have finally met the woman who captured Aidan's heart for all those years. And as noted byEntertainment Weekly, DeWitt is a cheeky choice for the role, because she is married to Ron Livingston in real life—AKA the man whoplayed Jack Bergerin eight episodes ofSATC(yep, the one who broke up with Carrievia Post-It note).

In the ninth episode ofAJLT, Kathy asked for a sit-down chat with Carrie and discussed everything from her feelings about Carrie to her relationship with Aidan. However, she didn't share details about her and Aidan's split.

DeWitt is just the latest celebrity cameo in the star-studded second season of the Max dramedy. We're still excitedly awaitingthe return ofSATCstar Kim Cattrall, who is slated to appear in the final episode of season two, on Thursday, August 24.

We see what you did there,AJLTcasting directors.
