Sex and the City’s Cynthia Nixon to marry girlfriend

Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon and girlfriend Christine Marinoni are engaged.

Nixon announced the news during the Love, Peace and Marriage Equality rally, a pro-gay marriage event New York on Sunday (May 17.)

Nixon began dating Marinoni in 2003 after breaking up with her long time partner Danny Mozes, the father of her two children. Nixon said last year that she had plans to marry Marinoni, although the pair only became officially engaged last month. No date has been set for the wedding.
