CYNTHIA NIXON has opened up about her attraction to fiancee CHRISTINE MARINONI - insisting she loves her partner’s “butchness”.
The Sex and the City star stunned fans following her split from husband Danny Mozes in 2003, by declaring herself a lesbian and revealing her longtime partner as education activist Marinoni.
The couple became engaged to wed last year (09), and Nixon has now gushed about her lover in an interview with Advocate magazine - insisting she loves Marinoni’s manly look..
The actress says, “She’s basically a short man with boobs. A lot of what I love about her is her butchness. I’m not saying I fell in love with her in a sexually neutral way. I love her sexuality - it’s a big part of what I love about her - but I feel like it was her. It wasn’t something in me that was waiting to come out. It was like, ‘This person is undeniable. How can I let this person walk by?’
“Christine would probably kill me for saying this, but my daughter said one time that if you really had to break this down, (it looks like) she would be butch and I would be femme… but really once you get to know us it’s really the opposite.”
