Cynthia Nixon marries long-time partner

After getting engaged at a rally in support of gay marriage in New York, Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni have married! Gay marriage has been legal in New York since July 2011. Cynthia’s rep has confirmed the engagement to People, saying,“On May 27, 2012 Cynthia Nixon and her girlfriend Christine Marinoni were legally married in the state of New York. Nixon wore a custom dress by Caroline Herrera.”

The red-headed couple started seeing each other in 2004, and Christine gave birth to their son, Max, last year. Cynthia has two children from a previous relationship.

Congratulations to the happy couple. And now Cynthia doesn’t have to worry about being labelled straight, bi or lesbian — and can settle for “wife.”
