Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni
Best known as Miranda Hobbes from Sex and the City, Cynthia Nixon has been married to education activist Christine Marinoni since 2012. What many people don’t realize is that Christine was Cynthia’s first same-sex partner. Before meeting her, Nixon had only been in relationships with men, making their romance all the more personal and transformative for her.
Their relationship began as a friendship in the early 2000s, eventually blossoming into love. Cynthia has said she simply couldn’t let Christine go once she realized how deep her feelings ran. Today, the couple is raising three children together and continue to be a steady and inspiring pair. Whether advocating for LGBTQ+ rights or showing quiet affection in public, their bond is built on authenticity and respect.
