NEW YORK - "Sex and the City" has taken on a whole new meaning for
Cynthia Nixon. The actress, who just won an Emmy for her role as
Miranda Hobbes in the hit HBO comedy, is in a relationship with
another woman, a source who works with Nixon told The Associated
Press on Friday.
The New York Daily News and the New York Post reported Friday that
Nixon has been dating a woman since January. The woman is neither
in the public eye nor living with Nixon.
"We will not confirm or deny anything," Nixon's publicist, Carrie
Ross, told AP.
"My private life is private," Nixon told the Daily News. "But at
the same time, I have nothing to hide. So what I will say is that I
am very happy."
The actress split in June 2003 with photographer and high school
sweetheart Danny Mozes, whom she'd been with for 15 years (but
never married). They now share custody of their two children.
If "Sex and the City" were to be believed, the revelation would
have been more expected from Kim Cattrall (news)'s character,
Samantha, whose many, many TV conquests included one woman.
Nixon's lawyer character was the cool professional of the bunch,
although her boss mistook her for a lesbian in the first season and
set her up with a woman, resulting in a single kiss. But Miranda
never dallied further and ended up married to her bartender
boyfriend.
After two previous nominations, Nixon, 38, won an Emmy this year
for her performance on the HBO show. She is working on "Tanner on
Tanner," a Robert Altman and Gary Trudeau miniseries for the
Sundance Channel.
