Cynthia Nixon Engaged To Christine Marinoni

Cynthia Nixon is engaged to her longtime girlfriend, education activist Christine Marinoni.

The 43-year-old actress announced the engagement news at a rally for gay rights in New York City on Sunday (May 17). Cynthia even showed off her engagement ring at The Love, Peace and Marriage Equality rally, which supported New York Governor David Paterson’s proposed bill granting legal equality to same-sex unions.

“I think we would definitely [get married] if it became legal in New York,” Cynthia has told Access. “I don’t really want to get married to get married pretend. I think we’d like to do it in a real, actual, legal way that the state would recognize.”

Cynthia has two children, daughter Samantha, 12, and son Charles, 6, from her relationship with English professor Danny Mozes. Just a few months ago, Cynthia and Christine took the kids to Disneyland.

Cynthia will be reprising her role as high-power attorney Miranda Hobbes in the movie sequel of Sex and the City, out May 28, 2010.

Congrats to the happy couple!!!
