As mentioned, Russell Thomas isn't any sort of celebrity or public figure, which isn't an uncommon attribute of Kim Cattrall's romantic partners. Accordingly, the two met through Thomas's job as a BBC radio producer, where he worked with Cattrall to record an essay she wrote about her struggles with insomnia, per People Magazine.
The "Filthy Rich" actress shared that the relationship took a bit of a modern turn from there. She told Glamour, "Russell [Thomas] and I met at the BBC. He was working at the BBC and we liked each other. He followed me and I followed him on Twitter, [then] he direct messaged me. It was very, very modern. It's just been very easy."
Cattrall also tells People Magazine that the duo kept in touch until Thomas came out to Vancouver, "It was very brave of him because we didn't really know each other rather than having a few meals together. But he came and we got along great, and we've been together ever since!"
