CHRISTINE MARINONI & CYNTHIA NIXON

Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni are undeniably a power couple. The hit show SATC has been off the air since the mid-2000s, but Miranda Hobbes, Nixon’s intelligent character, remains a role model for working women. Today, the actress herself is a role model and has become involved with public service. Her work as a stateswoman is intertwined with her romance with Marinoni.

The two began publicly dating in 2004, the same year that SATC ended. Both of them share a passion for creating change wherever they are since Marinoni is a prominent activist who has worked for New York City’s Department of Education. In fact, their meet-cute is astonishing, as they bumped into each other while they were both advocating for the smaller class size in New York’s public school system. After a long engagement, the happy couple got hitched in 2012.
