Answer: Carrie Bradshaw from "Sex and the City"

All four ladies of "Sex and the City" dated many different men throughout six seasons of the show. Carrie's three most serious relationships were with Mr. Big (not given a first name until the final moments of the show - it was John), Aidan and Aleksandr (whom she often called "the Russian" when speaking to her friends).

She was even engaged to Aidan, though it ultimately didn't work out. In the final episodes of the show, she moved to Paris to live with Aleksandr, but Big showed up to bring her home to New York and she ended up with him after all.

Their relationship continued in the movies "Sex and the City" (2008), in which they finally married, and "Sex and the City 2" (2010).
