Yes, And Just Like That viewers are largely celebrating the recent breakup between Carrie Bradshaw and Aidan Shaw, as their relationship was deemed fundamentally incompatible and a source of recurring issues for both characters. The third season's ninth episode saw the couple's long-distance romance definitively end due to persistent trust issues, contrasting lifestyles, and Aidan's prioritization of his family.

Many fans and critics have long expressed a desire for Carrie and Aidan to part ways, citing concerns about their incompatibility and Aidan's perceived negative traits like passive-aggression and manipulation. They argue that Aidan's return in And Just Like That was ill-fitting and detracted from Carrie's journey of self-discovery after Mr. Big's death. The narrative around their final breakup highlighted the fundamental differences in their lives, with Carrie's identity tied to New York City and Aidan's life being centered in Virginia with his sons, making a shared future seem impossible.
