Cynthia Nixon swoons over wife Christine in sweet anniversary tribute: 'Best thing I ever did!'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘Sex and the City’ star Cynthia Nixon gushed over her wife Christine Marinoni as the pair celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary on Sunday, May 24.
The actress tied the knot with Marinoni in 2012 and they are parents to son Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni, 15. Nixon is also the mother to son Seph Mozes, 29, and son Charles Ezekial Mozes, 23, whom she shares with her ex Danny Mozes.

To mark their special day, the 60-year-old actress took to Instagram, where she shared pictures with her spouse. In the caption she wrote, “My wife Christine and I have been together for 22 years but today is our 14th wedding anniversary. Falling in love with Christine was the best thing I ever did (next to having our children).”
“To celebrate our anniversary here are some photos of Aunt Ada falling in love with some lovely butch woman who managed to wander into The Gilded Age,” Nixon added, referring to the 2022 historical drama television series.
Christine Marinoni was worried about Cynthia Nixon when they began dating
The ‘Ratched’ actress and Marinoni, a native of Bainbridge Island, Washington, started dating each other following the former’s breakup from Mozes in 2003. It was Nixon’s first relationship with a woman.
The duo reportedly got engaged in 2009 but did not say “I do” to each other until 2012. They got married after New York legalized the gay marriage in 2011.
Earlier during an interview, Nixon revealed how it was initially for her and her then-girlfriend to date one another.
“When we started seeing each other, Christine kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, for me to panic about what this would mean - to my career or to myself - as if somehow I just hadn't noticed that she was a woman,” she reportedly said, before adding, “And then she met my mother, and that was when she stopped worrying about it.”
Nixon opened up about same-sex relationship after being advised by gay publicist
In another interview, Nixon shared that her former publicist was against her publicly sharing her relationship with Marinoni because of her acting career.
“He just kept saying, ‘It's your life, and it's private, and that's it.’ And we kept asking, ‘That's the whole thing? We never move past that.’ We're at the playground with the kids, and pictures are taken of us, and we say, ‘No, she's my friend?’” she disclosed.
However, eventually the ‘And Just Like That…’ star hired an openly gay publicist Kelly Bush, who encouraged her to go public about her personal life.
