Cynthia Nixon & Christine Marioni

Cynthia Nixon has been married to her politically astute wife Christine Marinoni since 2012. Cynthia is best known for her role as ambitious lawyer Miranda Hobbes in the famous HBO program, while Christine is a prominent LGBTQ rights and education supporter. Together, they are both progressive politicians from New York City.

Cynthia already had two children from a previous relationship, but she and Christine wanted to start their own family only a few years after their marriage. In 2011, the couple welcomed their son, Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni, an adorable red-headed boy like Cynthia’s fictional son. Christine took a break from work to become a stay-at-home mom to Max and her wife’s other boys, Samuel and Charles. Cynthia has kept her older sons primarily out of the spotlight and off social media. Still, Max, now nine years old, makes regular appearances on her Instagram with a huge smile and an even bigger personality.
