Bo Derek, a Hollywood bombshell of over 40 years, returned to the red carpet for a rare public appearance beside her husband John Corbett this week.
The pair were attending a New York City photo-call for season three of the Sex And The City spin-off And Just Like That….
Corbett is back on the show as Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) ex, Aidan, a recurring role he played in the original series, capturing the hearts of fans.
Aidan was featured in season two of And Just Like That… where he and Carrie tried to rekindle their past romance, ultimately going their separate ways once more.
Despite their latest split, Aidan makes a reappearance in the trailer for the new show, sparking some hope for their relationship to reignite.
Now Corbett, 64, is celebrating the premiere of the new season – and Derek, 68, who was with him for 18 years before they married in 2020, was by his side.

For her latest public appearance, Derek exuded a youthful glow as she posed in a snappy monochrome trouser suit that accentuated her still willowy frame.
Her snappy ensemble featured metallic studs around the edges of the jacket and down the sleeves and trouser legs, adding an extra splash of personality.
Meanwhile Corbett was the image of the silver fox with a salt-and-pepper beard, debonair black outfit and sleek orange sunglasses.
Derek, who rose to fame as a blonde bombshell in the 1979 sex comedy 10, married John in December 2020 after a romantic relationship of 18 years.
Before she met her current beau she thought she would never find love again, having lost her husband John Derek to heart failure in 1998.
However she explained that when she met Corbett she felt ‘just an attraction, a comfort. He makes me laugh all the time. He’s full of life, full of joy,’ via Fox News.
Although John Derek directed several of her films – including Tarzan, The Ape Man and Bolero – it was Blake Edwards who directed 10, which made her a star.
Amid a cast that included Edwards’ wife Julie Andrews as well as Dudley Moore, Bo made a splash while strutting her stuff across the beach in a swimsuit.

‘It was one of those moments where a fairy godmother comes in, taps you on the forehead with her magic wand and changes everything,’ Bo reflected in 2020.
‘People say I’m an icon, whatever that means. I wouldn’t call myself that. I don’t take it personally. But I played a part that certainly became iconic for sure.’
John Derek was 30 years Bo’s senior and became smitten with her when she was 16 years old acting in his film Fantasies in Greece.
Although their movies together were not taken seriously, the couple lived in luxury at a ranch until his death at the age of 71.
‘I’ve always been a fairly optimistic person, but it was a huge change, an enormous loss. The air just gets sucked out of the room when you lose your partner. So I wallowed in that for a while,’ Bo told Fox News.

‘I didn’t expect to end up with anyone again. Some women want to pair up again right away. I didn’t. I remember consciously fashioning myself after some girlfriends that I have [who] are single and led very full, fantastic lives with friends and family and projects that they do. And that gave them happiness.’
Corbett told Today a few years ago that he met Derek after his agent friend Norby Walters fixed them up as Oscar party dates.
‘I’m grateful for the life I was given. I feel very good about the decisions I’ve made,’ said Derek to Fox News in 2020 looking back at her career.
‘They weren’t always the most successful business decisions as far as money in the bank, but I had a blast making films and having my career on my own terms. And that business has been very good to me. And it has opened so many doors for me.’
