Cynthia Nixon, star of Sex and the City, has become a mom again after her partner Christine Marinoni gave birth recently to a baby boy, Max Ellington Nixon-Marinoni.
The couple had not announced that Marinoni was pregnant. It was reported that Marinoni and the baby were doing fine.
Nixon and Marinoni, who have been together for eight years, live in Manhattan with Nixon’s children Samantha, 14, and Charles, 8. They went public with their relationship in 2004.They are engaged and plan to wed when New York legalizes gay marriage.
Last year Nixon spoke to the Advocate about her relationship with Marinoni saying, “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.
“I identify as gay as a political stance. If anybody, prior to my meeting and falling in love with Christine, had asked me about what I think about sexuality, I would have said I think we’re all bisexual.
“But I had that point of view without ever having felt attracted to a woman. I had never met a woman I was attracted to [before Christine]. And maybe if I’d met her when I was 20, I would have fallen in love and only dated women. But maybe if I’d met her at 20, I wouldn’t have responded at all. Who knows?”
