<P> Stanford Blatch ( Willie Garson ) , often referred to as the show 's `` Fifth Lady , '' is Carrie 's best friend outside of the three women . A gay talent agent from an aristocratic family with a sense of style paralleled only by Carrie 's , viewers receive the impression that they have a long - standing relationship built within their younger , wilder days in the New York City club and bar scene in the 1980s . He had said that they have been friends since Carrie was riding the subways and wearing Candie 's . The only supporting character to receive his own storylines on occasion , Stanford represents the show 's most constant gay point of view to sex on the show , generally based around the physical insecurities and inadequacies of someone who does not `` have that gay look . '' In the last two seasons of the show , he is partnered with Broadway dancer Marcus Adente ( Sean Palmer ) . We are led to believe this relationship does not last , however , as in the film he arrives at a New Year 's party alone and has no one else to kiss except long - time rival Anthony Marentino , whom he weds in the sequel . </P>
