June 1, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Actress Cynthia Nixon said that she is fine with not having a date set for her wedding with partner Christine Marinoni. The couple has put their marriage plans on hold in the hope that the gay marriage will become legal in New York and they can legally get married in the city.
Nixon said that she is very much enjoying being engaged and doesn’t mind it prolonging. Speaking about the legalization of the same sex marriage in New York, she said that they are doing as much as they can to make it legal. They are also trying to find out the other available options.
Nixon has two children, 13-year-old Samantha and 7-year-old Charles with Danny Mozes, an English professor, with whom she was in a relationship from 1988 to 2003. She said that her children have already accepted Marioni as their second mother.
Nixon had earlier stated that she never felt any struggle with her sexuality. She started dating Christine Marinoni, an education activist in January 2004. She announced her engagement with Marioni in May 2009 during a rally in support of the same-sex marriage.
Nixon, who began acting at the age of 12 years, gained widespread recognition for the role of Miranda Hobbes in the HBO series ‘Sex and the City’. This role of a career oriented lawyer with cynical views on relationships and men, earned her Emmy nominations as ‘Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series’ in 2002 and 2003 before she finally took the award home in 2004 for the series’ final season.
